i bet some ebay marketeer, who was so pleased with him/herself a few weeks/months back from thinking of these, is now crying into their latte.

ebay fees #

By Royce Smallbone Posted Tuesday 4th December 2007 16:09 GMT

Those lights probably cost them next to nothing to source. Think of the fees ebay will make from all of those "loyal" customers when they sell them!

Tit for tat #

By Darren Coleman Posted Tuesday 4th December 2007 16:24 GMT

I got some this morning and I'm at best a very casual user (<100 feedback). If you want my set Anon Coward you're welcome to it for a small fee (+£29.99 delivery) ;)

Why? They've got some media publicity in the crucial Christmas period, and all they've paid for it is the tiny amount in costs to make the things in Taiwan. And then they even get some of that back - if not all or more - from the fee they charge people to sell them!

Crying into their latte? With joy, maybe.

RARE: #

By Hedley Phillips Posted Tuesday 4th December 2007 16:59 GMT

I love it when sellers use RARE: to describe an item that is in no way rare.

Like I'm going to be fooled into buyi oooh shiny, must bid now......

Well, technically... #

By Morely Dotes Posted Tuesday 4th December 2007 18:46 GMT

They are rare. In fact, I suspect they're completely uncooked.

sweet! #

...as a gift: what a lovely way to say "You Ebay whore" ;-D

So wonderful, I'm actually using them... #

By Simon Connolly Posted Wednesday 5th December 2007 09:10 GMT

...I have them around the edge of my moniter. When they came I thought - WOW! free stuff!

Will be selling mine on eBay next year for people to get :D

@LaeMi - I know but I can't help me :P

Why a USB version ? #

By Timbo Posted Wednesday 5th December 2007 11:43 GMT

I'd be pleased to run them off a nice 3v battery cell...after I've strung them around my neck...Why not advertise the fact I'm an eBay whore....! (I've seen worse around some other people's necks !!)

I want an eBay tie next....complete with built-in LED flashers...and a little button that you press that makes the built-in speaker play that awful eBay tune (as heard on their adverts)....

Some people #

Bidding's already up to £7.50 on one auction, several are up to a fiver with hours to go. There's even some enterprising souls trying to get £25 BIN. Just proves you can sell anything if it has a USB connector.
