Hi all,
Please excuse this negative posting, but I've just about had enough of certain
auctions.  I mean, take this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1663865916

Has anyone dealt with this person?  Probably worth £5-6 at most, even if the
condition of the bricks was vg/ex (those trans yellow bricks look very opaque)

I read somewhere that british sellers are the worst graders - this does nothing
for the honest sellers.

I had an email exchange with bellapops earlier this year
I pointed out that he/she had several auctions for bulk bricks running at the same time all with the same picture, which
seemed very misleading, especially when the description was totally useless. Basically the reply was go away.
I notice that he/she constantly keeps repeating the same auctions over and over again. It must be costing something, but
I guess he/she only has to rip some mug off once to make a profit.

I wouldn't touch bellapops with a barge poll personally.

But that's ebay for you.
