Stand your ground!!
Good to see the Police using some common sense and being very reasonable. I wonder if things would have been different if there had been no filming going on? Sadly some of the security people are just doing what they are told to do, which puts them in a very difficult position as they are not the la...

I get the impression that the security people are acting on instruction from the companies they work for- some of them just paranoid banking crooks who probably think every one is out to get them because they've shafted us all. They shaft us all on a daily basis through fractional reserve banking a...

Made the news all over Canada a while back when it was discovered that the RCMP and possibly other policing agencies in Canada were rejecting applicants that scored over a certain percentage on aptitude and IQ tests. Seems it is hard to keep police doing beat cop and traffic work, if everybody that ...

eBay madness
If you find it hard to decide on the maximum amount you'd be prepared to pay, think of it this way - what's the lowest amount you definitely would NOT be prepared to pay? Got it? Okay, bid a penny less than that. Not a pound, not ten pence, just ONE penny. Remember than unless another bidder is prep...

There was a perfect example on ebay of what nonsense this method of bidding is A 28mm Pentax M lens with what the seller described as: "HEAVY FUNGUS INSIDE LENS" It's worth £10 - £15 at the most but sold for an unbelieveable £41 + £3 postage all because of idiotic or shill bidding :oops: The l...

eBay madness
ebay used to publish the names of the bidders, and back then you could easily see that many items had shill bids on them. Multiple unrelated items from one vendor often had the same bidder bidding on all of them! You can't see this info anymore, thanks to eBay's so-called 'identity protection'. ...

There is an alternative to shill bidding that still runs the price up. But, the motive is rather different. More than 30 years back, a friend went to an arms auction, and bid on an excellent example of a blunderbuss by a very good maker. It should have fetched around £450. He bid the price up (ma...

Or, for sheer cheek (or downright larceny) ... Some years back, when Ebay was only getting started on self-policing: "Rare Model V Nikon" or something like that. It was a Praktica Nova, with the name covered with a piece of Dymo embossing tape carrying the word Nikon. It make the guy who so...

Back to descriptions, check this one out Now how rare is this 'lense'? The problem is people try selling things they have no idea about so slap 'rare' or 'top quality' on an item that, to be honest, is an everyday item to those who use them and know otherwise.

I'll keep my eye out Matt. I have more lenses than any one person really needs so I'm in no rush! Back to ebay madness. There is a listing at the moment for a Pentax camera with two F series lenses but for some reason the seller has put (Minolta) every time Pentax is mentioned. I asked: Wha...

Buying and Selling in Classifieds - a word of warning
I'm certainly considering changing banks. I used to be (until recently) with Alliance & Leicester. Instant transfers. All was good. But then they had to go and merge with Santander. I can't deposit cheques at my local post office anymore. This week, all my transfers took 3 days (which I did'nt...

Buying and Selling in Classifieds - a word of warning
TSB were online in real time back in the 1980s. It's good to see all the banking profits over the last 25 years have been spent on an interlinked slick infrastructure and not frittered on bonuses for short term gambling city execs. Oh!
