Just found this on the BBC.

They are clearing out their storage areas.

There's the ebay link.

They have old Rollercola trains, boat ride boats, Space Invader car and some side friction wheels from PMBO.

Pick up only? That sucks. I won't be surprised if these go for hundreds maybe even thousands each.

 

[AeRo]

Money grabbing bandits.

First one I checked was a boat ride boat....

Nice peice of nostalgia to suit any amusement park/fairground enthusiast.

Not the best spelling and grammar for BPB

 

[Screaming Coasters]

They're selling tactics are totally wrong. They aren't gonna make great money by listing everything at once. eBay novices, huh.

 

[tks]

Your grammar is totally wrong as well. 'Their'

I reckon this is just making up for the money they wasted on those god awful fountains.. :lol:

Ed, can you lay off the mini-modding please? It's looking like direct attacks against one person, and it's not on - furie

Do we really need another topic trashed for **** sake I give up.

The Saw topic, the Google topic, this topic, the Diamondback topic.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

I still think it's a bad way of selling a LOT. They need to list one at a time or atleast stagger their auctions. They're gonna flop at selling and I can't see anything selling more than a couple of grand. Just by splitting up the auctions, it creates an urgency, which in turn make people bid more in desperation.

edited - removed abuse. Don't directly insult people please Erol!

They should ask me I done well on my sale on Ebay everyone told me list 10 at a time, I looked and thought no way due to the stupid charges. I got more than I would have done selling them in one lot than 10 at a time.

At the end of the day if people want the items they will bid regardless and by only paying Ebay once or twice is better than 20 times. There are many ways of doing it, none are right and none are wrong.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

They could have even done it as one auction per same item, and list how many they have. That way when the auction finishes, the next one automatically kicks in without charge.

Ah whatever, lets see how it goes I'd love to have one of them boats!

I think it's cool to see this. I've never understood why companies throw so much away that could be sold.
