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 see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
