Dave Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree with the sentiment espressed in this thread. E-Bay's latest ban will make no difference to knife crime. How do you stop people getting kitchen knives! I personally would not buy historical items from e-bay due to the large number of fraudulent sales. E-bay should sort out the problems they have with these sort of sellers who are rife in their organisation.

Kenny Andrew Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well as you know I'm no fan of ebay or more correctly there unregulated bank paypal,I thought they were great until they decided to freeze my account with thousands of pounds in it with no warning! This clip goes on for almost an hour but I feel for the guy I experienced the exact same thing over 10 calls to paypal I eventually gave up and had to wait 3 months to get my money which caused me all sorts of bother, I would never deal with them again ,I've heard this same sort of thing has happened to lots of innocent people,anyone else had similar problems? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF635SQ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 i hope they don't! i mean even i have bought one or two for my collection from Ebay! if you ask me our government's useless! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Selling fakes is rife on e-bay! Another problem is sellers getting their mates to put in false bids to inflate auction prices. One seller admitted to me he does this. I have seen items achieving crazy prices when bidders get hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 The up side to this is you will probably see a lot more edged weapons at the Bunker now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I wonder if you will see that guy back who was looking for an SS Female Asassin's throwing knife! "You know the one they threw in people's backs who were running away". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yes as long as we don't see the Goth guy who we showed a knife to , he said "it's not sharp enough" ,I said why do you want it sharp? he said "I want it to slash my wrists with" needless to say we didn't sell it to him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 The up side to this is you will probably see a lot more edged weapons at the Bunker now.

Kenny Andrew Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Every week Robert , I think it was last year we had a woman in, who was asking Steve what ration books were for , he said during the war there was not allot of food about so they gave out ration books, the woman then said so how did people eat? did they just have carry outs? and she was being serious, quite worrying really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAF635SQ Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 People have been selling Nazi items for years without much issue on eBay. They don't allow it but they don't enforce it very well either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bridger Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 99% of TR items on ebay are out and out fake, easy picking for scammers as so many people fail to do basic homework they see a swaz and think it must be real, best advice buy quality reference books join forums and handle the real deal if you get the chance rememmber all that glitters is not gold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
