Would anyone agree with me its a bit much

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dyson-DC01-WITH-TOOLS-PACK-OF-FILTERS-8-AND-2X-SPARE-BELTS-ALL-FOR-89-POST-/181999566270?hash=item2a6004fdbe:g:9CwAAOSwGotWolQ0

I'd want that for that now. Consider the guy does them properly (BB is a proper place - they do what they do well), and he has to pay eBay fees, Paypal fees and VAT. For a nice one it has to be that much. He will be netting £20-£30 from that max.

People who like them will pay it. His 6k feedback will encourage them.

I must go visit them one day when I go back to Peterborough.  My mum was born in Holbeach,  many happy memories of going to see granny and Grandad there!

So if I went straight to them it wouldn't be £89

I would expect not.

But like anything, paying cash, collecting and not burdening them with 11-13% in seller fees has to knock a shilling or two off.

Third party platforms are expensive to use. The costs of using them have to be passed along.

LOL @ the £200 DC18. I'd be reluctant to give a tenner for that.
