been searching ebay over the last couple of weeks for some carp related items and the prices of the auctions are higher than the retail prices.

anyone looking to sell a few items get them on ebay now, anyone looking to buy a few items go a tackle shop

If you buy second hand you can pretend you've had it for years and not just jumping on the bandwagon

I've bought a lot of stuff off eBay. You have to start with a price that is the maximum you are prepared to pay and be prepared to walk away and wait for the next one that comes up. Of course a rare item that is no longer available may be the exception to the rule. That's when a bidding war will start if two or more people decide it's something they've just got to have.

I'd say it's to do with the fact that shops have no stock of anything in at the moment....due in the most part to the slow boat from China having not set off yet

Underlining the fact that now it's either Chinese sh*te or nowt

I've got a 50" Wavelock Nubrolly which is about 30 years old.
Any takers do you reckon?
