Why is it, compared to other countries, so much faulty and non-working items are listed by us Brits? What does it say about us?
I think it says that we're industrious, willing to have a go at fixing stuff and not willing to give up on a broken item and so waste it.Quote:

If you look at German ebay for example, so much more stuff is in perfect condition and listed with a high price and takes months to sell (ok, that might be because they don't have reserve prices or at least didnt used to for some odd reason). Supposedly faulty items have been massive bargains in my experience.
When I had a look on Germany, France and Canada eBay I was just surprised at how little there was. Have to say virtually all the hi fi I've bought from eBay has been bought as faulty. About time I got round to start fixing it.
The Germans are organized so if something goes faulty it goes straight to a workshop and gets fixed. The Canadians recycle rather than sell the broken kit and the French just stick anything broken in the barn next to a rusting 1952 Citreon and leave it there until it once again becomes part of the earth. Everyone in France has a barn, for preciesly this purpose.
£550 for a Goldring Lenco G88? It's nice, but not £550 nice!
