I like it when people over charge for postage. For example
Bit of kit that is £75 new - someone is selling it secondhand in an auction starting at 99p. I've expect people to pay £40ish posted max.
Now if the muppet puts postage of £15 the most they can get is £25 on a good day. They also piss off so many people that they ignore the listing and it sells for £10 less than they wanted - so the listing ends at £10+£15 postage. The seller thinks well I get £5 profit from postage -but in this case they sold it to me and I only buy big stuff within 10-15 miles and I always collect. Its not long ago I got a lawnmower for pennies.
