    Hi,

    I have some overstock that im looking at clearing to free up some cash. Does anyone know if this is a realistic option for me i am looking to sell mens clothing. Im sure the prices are very low and there are no reserve price so might be a big gamble if anyone has any experience i would appreciate it.

    thanks

    Have a look through the recent threads there have been 3 or 4 people in the last week or so looking for places to buy clearance clothing. You guys could cut out the middle man!!

    It was the "I want to start a website" type threads I seem to remember. I know a few people have been asking about importing clothes China to sell. I had a quick look for the threads too I can't recall which ones they were though!!

    I assume you aren't allowed to post a thread saying you have clothes for sale! You could try list them on sister site adverts.ie.

    Have you considered that you were being manoeuvred out of going through with the purchase ?

    As for everything else, all auctions have fees, you could have done a full cartell check in the car beforehand. The fact that the person was from the North has what bearing on anything ?

    So a staff member wonders why you bid mad money on a car and becomes scum?

    Stating on the sheet that the clocks had been changed is not illegal, who told you that it is illegal?

    I probably agree about Northerners though. And Blacks. And Gays. And Dubs. And Southerners. And whites. Etc.

    An expensive lesson about doing your your homework properly, but with that attitude you will get little sympathy here.
