@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 It’s pretty simple - selling something for a quarter of what you could sell it for cannot remotely be called a ‘cynical cash grab’. Randomly whining about the price of something isn’t a justification.

[David @david_g_powell]

@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 Don’t worry your opinion isn’t of any importance to me, its just weird when people jump in & accuse others of cynicism & price gouging then can’t produce any actual justification for it.

[David @david_g_powell]

@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 But in this case they weren’t selling at ‘whatever they’re willing to pay’ they were selling at 1/4 of what these roundels had sold for previously. How can selling at 1/4 of the price you previously sold an item for be considered a cash grab ?

[David @david_g_powell]

@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 Im just genuinely confused - if i sell an item at auction for £2000, then sell another of the same item as a buy-it-now for £395, a fraction of the previous price,how is it a cynical cash grab? If they were charging £3000 for something they sold for £2000 last year i might agree

[David @david_g_powell]

@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 If they had looked at previous roundel sales of £1000-£2000 & priced these at £2500 then i may agree with you, but i just can’t see how pricing them at a fraction of previously achieved prices can be seen as a ‘cynical cash grab’.

[David @david_g_powell]

@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 Previous roundels sold at auction for between £1000 & £2000, so not sure how selling for £395 is ‘excessive’. They sold out in around an hour so obviously quite a few people didn’t find the prices excessive.

@georgezahora @WilliamWho27 Not sure how selling something that’s sitting in a warehouse & is never going to be used again is a ‘cynical cash grab’ - you expect them to continue paying for warehousing of this set until it rots away?

@thebowlerhatman Nice ! Listing says ‘pin-badge’ - Is it a random selection of one of the 4 pin-badges ?

@mrdman9202 @LemonJuiceLilly @Criterion @BNBuzz You obviously don’t shop in Fopp where Arrow releases are £6 for 90% of the time & currently Bogof in HMV etc which works out at £7.50 each

[David @david_g_powell]

@mrdman9202 @LemonJuiceLilly @Criterion @BNBuzz Yeah but I can get special editions from Arrow etc some of which even use the same restored prints as Criterion for £6 so £25.99 for a single disc blu-ray with a few extras seems crazy pricing.

[David @david_g_powell]

@mrdman9202 @LemonJuiceLilly @Criterion @BNBuzz Yeah but even then it’s only the cheaper criterion’s that are in 2 for £25,so you’re getting a £17.99 Blu-ray for £12.50 - nowhere near 50% like the US promos & never any offers at all on the more expensive titles like the £25.99 True Stories/Mishima etc

@Brumus49 @MikeNesbitt9 @itvpeston @LenMcCluskey Yep You’re right Corbyn is old enough to have voted for the corn laws. 😆😆I’m more interesting in the future than lessons in ancient history

[David @david_g_powell]

@MikeNesbitt9 @itvpeston @LenMcCluskey How many times did Corbyn vote against the labour leadership & try to undermine them when he was a backbencher? I read it was around 500 times?

@yagsieoj Enjoy !
