eBay etiquette question (aka am I being weird)

[two sheds]

They look nice - glazed for a start. Presume you put a picture on when you sold them?

of course! I'm just not a fan, of the glazed pot, with vague floral designs on, as a thing. Its good i don't run a shop for a living isnt it.

here they are, does this look like £51 worth of unwanted pots?
I'm just going to brazen it out, unless keith looks crestfallen.

thats what ebay is for isn't it, stuff you don't want at all that someone else really does want, i'm just not a regular seller so it feels weird.

If someone bid 50 quid for that lot I'd take it. They bid for them and there was someone else who only bid about a quid less so people see some value in them.

You're certainly not ripping him off.

The bidding is a bit too rich for me, so I'm out. Enjoy your new pots Spymaster!

Actual nice pots, like what i really want, are seriously expensive, just plain clay pots, made of mud, what's that about.
Example this, but obvs not quite that, cos i'm not spending a thousand pounds on a pot: Beehive With Neck Planter | Pots & Pithoi

Very nice, a fucker to get the plant out of if you want to transplant it though

I like glazed ones - better if you need to leave them out over winter

Yes it does look like £51 worth. Pots like that from garden centres can cost £10-20 each ..

That’s good value kilnage

 

[bimble]

ok good. keith will get no weirdness from me.

Put £10 as starting price. Auction ended today & somebody ‘won’ at £51.
I think that’s too much money for the not very beautiful pots and feel awkward about it like he’s going to be sad or pissed off when he comes to get them.
Do I just act normal like here’s yr pots give me the £51 or do I say something, like idk I’d be happy with £30 they’re not that great are they.
?

If he turns up in a gold Mercedes, medallions and Hawaiian suntan you might feel differently.

I made a killing a couple of years ago - 70 mixed glazed and unglazed pots for £80 from the local auction, including three or four huge ones with chinese designs. I were chuffed I were A couple you'd have paid £80 each for new.

plant pot world is weird isn't it. I suppose its cos they're so heavy & fragile at the same time, and its an old fashioned skill, their making, so they're a thing that amazon doesn't really do very well with.

Can't bloody move them with compost in they're up the end of the conservatory.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Why are you letting random diudes turn up at your house?

Don't you mix with enough internet weirdos here?

Would it help if we all just happened to be visiting you when he comes to collect?

I would pay £51 for the pots & if you buy anything you pay the price that you are happy with.

Last week I bought a second hand unit on FB Marketplace, person selling said they wouldn’t hold due to time wasters & it was few days before I could collect so on day I could I messaged for second time & that I could come straight away or anytime same day. He went for straight away & knocked a fiver off for not being a time waster. Unit is also perfect for what I need it for.

Pot's ain't cheap. That doesn't seem too unreasonable for that lot

 

[nogojones]

I bid £3000 for a pair of tights instead of £3.00 once.

Did you win?

Wouldn't it be hilarious if your pots turn up on this thread at some point?

I've started and discarded this thread about four times now, because I'm not sure if there's a market for it on Urban. I hope it does catch on though, because I love this shit even more than I love clothes and slap (and I really love clothes and slap). If not, I'm happy to be the only...

To be honest on seeing your full range of pots and recently having spunked shit loads on matching pots for my boudoir jungle I’d say he did well for 51 quid

I’m so shit I haven’t even taken the labels off them yet

 

[muscovyduck]

£51 is a good price for them. Don't haggle yourself down. Did you buy these pots yourself or aquire them some other way? Just wondering why you feel they're worth less than they are
