This one makes me laugh, stupid enough to put a phone number on:

"IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THEN PLEASE CALL ME: EMMA 07828112944"

Muppet number 2: BUY IT NOW £400.00 PLEASE MAIL OR CALL ME ON 07872984136

I don't bloody care if they reckon they have valid reasons...They should just pass them on to someone who can go.

reported 30 of 55 so far

The same person appears to have 6 pairs of tickets to sell saying they can't get a babysitter..

I am tempted to bid ridiculous amounts on this one just to ruin his feedback

Only people with at least 5 positive feedbacks please. I have worked hard to get my feedback as good as it is and I want to keep it that way!

55 up there now, I got through about 20. It started on 28 and in the space of about 20 minutes it had gone up by 10. It is totally unacceptable to be selling these tickets, just pisses me off when some of the descriptions I read "Selling tickets because didnt really want to go" "selling tickets because I have an exam the next day" (sorry but exam timetables are usually posted after easter) "Cant arrange transport" so on and so on... bunch of pricks. It really really really pisses me off

It fucks me off knowing it's pure greed. If it was £50 or something then maybe I wouldn't mind, but it's the fact they'll keep trying for £400 and no one will buy them. Why bother?

I think eBay have a long way to go before they sort this mess out. They say they are removing tickets, but no one is checking them soon enough. Every evening it appears that more crop up.

Absolutely. It makes you wonder if they really do care bout stopping the sale of these tickets? Surely they could stop it if they they really wanted to?:evil:

If it's making them money....then No.

They should be able to set up a filter so that if someone tries to add a listing with a title containing certain key words then they are warned it is a prohibited item and not allowed to continue.

Ebay charge you for listings, how many pictures you add and style of the listing. I doubt they will do this because as long as mugs keep putting tickets up for them to remove, they will be making money.

I highly doubt that these mugs will get a refund on their listing because they are breaking Ebay's T&C's... so Ebay are most likely making these knobs suffer a little bit in the pocket for their foolishness!

here's the knob of the day on ebay and it's "useditshop" from the United Kingdom

Here is just one example of the way he talks to you when you ask a nice and simple question:

My Question: "Dear useditshop,

Hello there, I need to upgrade my servers CPU to a 64 bit biased processor so i can run a VPS environment on it. I am just wondering if the CPU you are offering will be compatible with my servers motherboard? please see this MB tech link below, and if you can let me know before i bid or buy.

Link: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7501/X5DPL-iGM.cfm

Warmest Regards"

And here was his reply: "Dear ebayer,

I do not do technical support.

I provide what I am selling and it is buyers job to find out if this item ia suitable for them.

I suggest you visit motherboard mfr's site and do your own research."

What is the world coming too. A seller doesn't even want to support their own products, complete madness.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
