What a great scam. $17.50 to be told to dress neatly, whine a lot and hope you get lucky. I wish I was sharp enought to think of schemes like that.

We all should be encouraging any form of recycling. Just think how many cubic metres of trash has been saved from landfill by eBay! And people pay you money for it! All ebay buyers and sellers should get a government subsidy and lots of brownie (greeenie?) points for every transaction no matter how stupid.

Incorrect. Eventually it will become landfill. Selling on ebay does not alter that fact.

My point was that i'd rather taker it to the local op shop where somebody might get some benefit from it rather than sell it for $9 on epay.

You do have a point and I agree to the extent that I would rather donate stuff to local charities etc than go to the trouble of making a couple of bucks selling clothes and so on. Eventually we will all become landfill.
