That's a bit unfair...

Perfectly fair. It allows for greed and that's uncool.

And the bids are still rolling in. Wow.

The knobs are the ones putting OOP DVDs up for sale at ridiculous prices so that people who will actually enjoy owning it can't have it.

Something is worth what people are prepared to pay for it. If it's a film you love and cannot get any other way then fair enough.

I'd hardly call it greed. The seller would've let it go for 99p (starting price) and £1.25 postage. Have you noticed it's the same two people bidding .

No one is forcing them to bid.

But, yes, the sellers are often greedy knobs out to profit from true fans.

So Fernando Torres is worth $50m?

Not blaming the seller on this occasion.

People with more money than sense.

A few weeks ago I got a sealed copy for a tenner. This person is on glue...

Haha, mental

On glue if it doesn't sell. But if it does...

Only an idiot would sell if for a tenner if he can get four times the amount.

Can't agree with that. I think it's one of the best Golden Harvest films of the era.

Greedy fucker. And the condition is only 'good'.

EDIT: I'm just repeating what Grim said...

Gimme!

saltysam wrote:Still some way to go before it beats the £106 i got for Wheels On Meals Megastar

. Is that rare? Hasn't that had a decent release from HKL? What was your starting price? I bet you were amazed when it shot up to that. For a DVD!

bradavon wrote:Hasn't that had a decent release from HKL?

Didn't I sell you mine?

Oh yeah I used to own that. I sold it awhile back. I (pretty much) decided I don't "get" Jackie Chan movies and gave up watching the ones I hadn't seen. The only three I properly like are Police Story 3, Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2. Which I guess says it all.

I'm not a fan of Police Story, Drunken Master, Drunken Master 2 or Project A. All have parts that are good but otherwise were only okay.

Personally I'd listed them individually but fair enough. That's some wedge he's missing out on.

Fucking hell lol, has eBay changed its rules then? Last time I checked, you weren't allowed to create a single listing for multiple items.

Really? Since when?

An update on my friendship with this girl...went on the piss with her the other saturday,for the first time i could see my wife was not happy.Took my wife out on the sunday where we discussed the situation,she is utterly convinced this girl has a thing for me, that she's watched her and seen how she looks at me when i go the bar etc. i've told her that is absolute bollocks,this girl has never shown any interest that way apart from the odd hug etc,i also think she's been ratarsed that often in my company she would probably have tried something.However my wife isn't having it,she is adamant, she hasn't said i must stop going out drinking with this girl but i see now i have to curtail it. not sure how i'll do it,currently just making weak excuses about why i can't go out

Just tell her straight.

i agree but i work with her which makes it awkward.

How are you cheating? All you did was sleep but you are being dishonest and as it's platonic, why be that way? Why couldn't you have requested separate rooms or a room with separate beds?

Markgway wrote:Doesn't matter if you didn't touch her. There's an inherent sexuality when a man sleeps next to a woman.

That's nonsense. I've slept with some of my female friends on several occasions and I can tell you there was not the slightest bit of sexuality involved, on either side. It's not exactly comparable because they were gay but their girlfriends know and were not the slightest bit angry. I imagine they knew before where their partner was planning to sleep. They were comfortable with it because at the end of the day they all trust me.

Markgway wrote:You know it's not quite right and are looking for us to pat you on the back and say 'Nah, it's OK, Sam, you're fine. Go ahead.'.

I wouldn't say it's wrong either. Two mates sharing a bed shouldn't matter what their sex is but the point really is, why does Sam want to repeat it? I'm guessing circumstances meant you were sharing the same room, to repeat it means a thought process is involved.

Markgway wrote:No women is EVER fine with her husband sleeping in the same bed as another women.

Agreed. Most girls would hate it but it doesn't make it wrong, we're talking about sleeping here (there's no hint of anything going on). It ultimately boils down to trust and honesty. If she trusts you, there shouldn't be problem.

I'd feel uncomfortable if I knew my girlfriend had slept in the same bed as another (straight) man (mostly because I wouldn't trust him, you'd assume not her) but as it was only one night I'd get over it. Repeating it makes it very different.

Yi-Long wrote:And yeah, it would be different if your friend was a guy, but sadly we're living in a reality and a society that does still non-sexual female friends differently from friends.

That's societies problem. I'd be totally annoyed at a girlfriend if she had a problem with me having female friends.

saltysam wrote:this girl has never shown any interest that way apart from the odd hug etc,i also think she's been ratarsed that often in my company she would probably have tried something.

I wouldn't take that as enough evidence. Most straight girls prefer waiting for the man to make the first move and she appreciate you're married/not want to rock the boat with your marriage.

But frankly who cares if she likes you, you don't like her (do you?). In other words, the problem exists only in your wife's head.

Nearly all my friends are female, all I see only as friends. If a girlfriend had a problem with them purely because they were female, that's just dumb. The fact you say she trusts you 100% makes it even more ridiculous. Again so what if she fancies you, it's in her head, not yours and if she never mentions it, that's where it will stay. Meaning there's not even a problem to start with.

saltysam wrote:i agree but i work with her which makes it awkward.

Why do you need to do anything? She's not actually done anything has she?

You should've just told your wife from the start. You don't have to worry about being found out then. If I'd come home and my wife had asked where I'd slept, I'd have told her. Honesty prevents secrets coming out later and they always do.
