eBay My World: xxxmadraxxx( 457)

since i was a kid, i've been one of those folks who finds it impossible to walk by a skip or car-boot sale, without having a peek inside- i can never believe the stuff people throw out! for me ebay is like a giant global carboot sale!

pretty much anything i no longer have a use for, which i think someone else might want

again, it can be anything and everything. i tend to frequent the army surplus and computery gadgety sections most - i've bought so many pairs of big clumpy boots off ebay, i'm turning into the imelda marcos of punkrock!

English, Spanish, irish

wasting my life on the internet, photography, bike riding, listening to punkrock, writing, drawing, occasionally making futile attempts to learn the guitar, getting covered in oil and diesel while tinkering wi' the car, obsessively finding places i've been and placemarking them on google earth, doing my weights, doing tae kwon do, camping, making stuff, breaking stuff, fixing stuff

all quiet on the western front, day of the triffids, the kraken wakes, the good soldier sveijk, arthur c clarke, wilfred owen, tom sharpe, sven hassell, terry nation [those old dr. who books from the seventies], john wyndham, graham greene

brazil, icecold in alex, the italian job [original version - not that american sacrilege!], 2001 a space oddyssey

punk rock, nobody's heroes, stiff little fingers, motorhead, sex pistols, the clash, the ramones, anti-nowhere league, the cult, TV smith, nobody's heroes, green day, sham 69, guns'n'roses, therapy?, rammstein, the beatles, evanescence, zodiac mindwarp, la polla records, extremoduro, AC/DC, the exploited, the alarm, dead kennedys, the wildhearts, angelic upstarts, billy bragg, the jam, black crowes, buzzcocks, carter USM, dropkick murphys, jimi hendrix, metallica, new model army, the undertones, UK subs, los fastidios

been selling & buying on ebay since 2002. i'm not a powerseller- it's just a hobby for me. but most months i buy or sell at least 1 or 2 things. i try to play by the spirit of ebay - after all, we're all here for a bargain - so anything i ever auction goes on with no reserve, free P&P and with the start price set just to cover the postage. if the item goes for the starting price, the buyer's effectively getting it for free. don't i get burned occasionally? - of course i do. i sold a new £300 nikon camera for £80 about 3 years ago [and the bastard never even left feedback!] on t'other side of the coin, i've also had items sell for double what i paid for them. it's all swings'n'roundabouts, or what i call 'ebay karma'. i cannae stand folks who do stuff like; sell their item cheap but charge for postage 5 times what it costs, put items on at '99p start!' [but with a £30 reserve] or those '£30 start price or buy it now for £29,50' listings. that's not what ebay's about!

paypal, cheques, huge wodges of cash, glass beads, sexual favours ... whatever!

as mentioned in the blurb above - i never charge for postage within the UK. and for postage to europe, you pay exactly what it costs me. i'm not one of those rip-off merchants [like the woman who once posted me something in an old jiffy bag with a 62p stamp, after charging over a fiver for the postage!]

full money back guarantee, if the item is not as described - provided you return it in the same state you got it.

contact me through my profile - i'm afraid i'm not going to give the spammers a leg-up by posting my email here for all to see!
