Offer him £20, you never know, when it's sat on the shelf for a while he might be tempted - then say it's only worth £10 to you now........

Trouble with eBay is there's loads of Ejits out there who'll pay the money without a second thought

Un-fuggin-believable, though it happens too often. One would see that here in the US as well. I was bidding on a mint '04 tank for my EX500, but I let it go when it got over $400, twice what it's worth.. A USED tank, 4 years old, went for $420.... a NEW one, From Kawasaki, At Dealer Prices, is $550. And i'm sure the moron was thinking "Hey, it's cheaper than the dealer, i'm saving money!", and these unappreciative, uninformed monkeys ruin it for the rest of us.

When I'm King...... Argh.

i do, I do, I do want to know what he paid for it, but i'm sure if i asked him, he'd be a bit reluctant to tell me :P

And besides, if some daft t**t is prepared to pay £132, thats their lookout, but this one is buy it now. not open to bids, thats the point!
