Powys eBay sale!

[Glenn McCrabb]

I sometimes find that I have to search several e-bays before I can find what I want. UK. US and AUS will sometimes list only local items. Try using the advanced search function and select “items available to…” as one of the search parameters. That seems to clear up the search most times.

does anyone else think it would be great to have a ‘chat’ facility on the forum…?

now before panic sets in…I know you’re not clued up on such matters Mateo…you did have to be dragged kicking and screaming onto facebook 😆 BUT couldn’t we get it done.

Like Steve says…we’re all spread out all over the vastness of the powysverse.

I think it would be good to get to know each other a bit and be able to have a realtime ‘conversation’ with each other but maybe you guys HATE the idea :unsure:

[quote]hmm. it’s definitely out there.
but when I look for it using ebay UK, it doesn’t show up
it must be something that ebay.com is doing to make it a U.S. only item. (insert derogatory comment about ebay here)
here’s the auction # 280619722317. just paste it in the ebay search field and it will take you to the item[/quote]

Thanks Ultra. Only found it by doing an Advanced Search and putting the Item Number in.

Then there was a new twist. I pressed “Buy It Now” and… it wouldn’t let me buy it. This is the message that comes up:

[i]Please enter the correct information for the following fields:
Seller has not specified P&P fees for items in your basket.[/i]

So I did, in the box highlighted in red: 28 dollars. & then it just took me back to the top of the page (the Buy It Now confirmation) & it says the same thing:

[i]Please enter the correct information for the following fields:
Seller has not specified P&P fees for items in your basket.[/i]

So, there you go. I tried to buy it. And couldn’t 🙁 There’re obviously MUF’s at work on E-bay… Saying that, cost-wise, including P&P it’s over 50 UK Pounds. Which is a [b]LOT[/b] of money. In a way… I’m glad those MUF’s stopped me from Buying it Now, as really… I can’t afford to shell out that sort of money right now. I would have… but it would’ve gone on my VISA, which means I’d have just had even less money next month *sigh* it’s tough living on a limited budget… especially when there’s a [b]SPACE: 1999 [/b]book by Powys out there that you you haven’t got, you know you want but you just can’t afford right now 🙁

Still, can’t say I didn’t try.

Sorry Mateo. Thanks for putting a copy up for sale for me though :kiss: guess I’m just going to have to wait a while longer for a copy of the Year 2 Omnibus to fall in to my hands (which is kinda ironic, as I am just such a HUGE fan of everything that’s good about Year 2! Haha!) :silly: :blink:

But it also goes to show that these books aren’t easy to find on E-Bay if you live outside the US, which will hamper Mateo’s efforts to clear out all the remaining stock via E-Bay.

Something for someone in the know to look into methinks 😉
