Please inform me if you know how this guy can list programmes at this price and make money? example below.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manc.....SwstxVbJqS

Cost Breakdown of the £1.99 received

approx 15% combined fees ebay/paypal - 30p
paypal transaction fee - 20p
2nd class postage cost lg letter over 250g - £1.20
board backed envelope - 10p (if purchased in bulk)

Total cost =£1.80 leaves £0.19p!!!!

That does not even take into account what he may have paid for it lets say 5p in a bulk bundle then that makes it £0.14p!!!!

what is the bloody point?????? please tell me if I am mising something here as there are many examples like this and plenty selling at a loss.

I scratch my head sometimes. Confused

Maye he sticks it in the franking machine at work, and perhaps the programme cost nothing - could have been in an exec box or lounge where they are left lying around at the end of the game to be hoovered up by anyone who wants a 3rd, 4th or 5th copy?

Even if he got it for nothing, and with 75% off Ebay FVF he would still only be getting 30p after sale. He is listing a few programmes all at the same price. Just find it hard to believe anyone could be bothered with all that effort for pennies.

Perhaps he has a hobby ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Shocked as everyone on here knows once you have 90% of what you are collecting the other 10% becomes veryt hard to obtain, maybe he's just extending his hobby, just as all the dealers we have around did so at one time ??????????
