Tourer rear lights on ebay

[DoDo]

Purchased a set of these from Les as John had damaged his.
They arrived very quickly, packed perfectly, genuine parts, and far cheaper than from XPart.
What's the problem? If you don't want to pay advertised price, just don't, doubt you will find them cheaper new elsewhere.

Petrol and Diesel go up daily but often not a new fuel delivery.

with all the offers that Les had give club member,
How can we say he is profiteering. no one know what he paid for them money that could be in the bank.
I know I myself have save a lot £, by having smc only 10 miles away.

As already stated, these at £99.00 are leass than 50% of the actual retail value and the very fact that 135 sets were sold underlines the point.

In my opinion if you put something on Ebay for a £79.99 you should not be
alowed to increase the price willy nilly just because you realise what you
have is more valuable then you thought it should be made to run its course
and if no one buys it then and only then can the seller increase the price
If i were to bid for something which i later find i have paid over the top for
and refuse to pay the winning bid i would soon know about it .I would have
Ebay all over me.
Sellers cant have it all ways

I guess you are assuming they all came in at the same price?, originally only 50 sets were listed, more were added as and when we could get them but the buying in price had increased, should more be available later no doubt they will again be more expensive.

We don't just hike up the price willy nilly just because we realise we can get more for them, perhaps people like you and Alan should find out the full facts before making such rash statements.

We always try to give the best possible deal to all our customers and so far I think we have done a pretty damn good job, the fact remains if you think its a good deal and you need it then buy it, nobody is twisting your arm.

Why have you made this all personal all of a sudden its all we and us
are you the seller in question.
Your not the only person who sells on ebay theres quite a few of us on here
As for your point that they may of not of come in at the same price well
I would assume you would post a new add showing the new price.
Because technically its a different item

I can't see what the problem is. Anyone can charge what they like. You don't have to buy it!

As parts do become rarer prices are going to rise - its called supply and demand!

I for one have only praise for SMC & Rimmer's, having always received excellent service and fast delivery. Its not all about price.

I really do get fed up about people moaning about them.

Richard if you go back to the original post you will see that this had nothing
to do with SMC no one was knocking SMC and no one mentioned SMC
As for parts becoming rarer if they are that rare how come they are popping
up on ebay in large batches

That is not how we run our online business, if new stock comes in we do not create a whole new listing we just change the quantity and if need be price, this is personal to me as SMC are the seller in question being accused of profiteering.
