DCWV spring ex-tsv bargain on ebay

[DianaDreads]

I must be getting lucky with ebay again as I managed to get the dcwv 2 drawer spring kit over the weekend for just £13 plus £8.95 p&p.
The seller still has 10 listed http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QVC-card-making-kit-brand-new-completly-sealed_W0QQitemZ120293046864QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em120293046864&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 on a Dutch auction and I was lucky enough to be the only bidder on the first attempt. But Dutch auctions usually work out cheaper for all concerned so good luck to anyone who fancies them.
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else missed out and still wanted one (SCW, am I imagining that you were tempted?). I hope these are an honest seller now :eek:

Well done on your bargain, Diana :D

Just one thing to be aware of with dutch auctions, for those who are more used to normal ebay auctions - the bidding works differently, without the normal proxy bidding system. It's explained in more detail here (http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/buyer-multiple.html), but the main thing to note is that if you are the only bidder, you will win at the price you actually bid - so if you bid £10 on a 99p start auction, you'll pay £10. On a normal 99p start auction, if you were the only bidder, you would only pay 99p.

Thanks for the warning Wins, I should have mentioned that.
Luckily I remembered that you have to bid low on these and just bid £13. I'd have been gutted if I'd bid £20 and then had to pay that despite being the only bidder :eek:
