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.

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
