Fleabay's automatic predictive suggestions

"You might also be interested in..."

I love these; unless you are a seriously boring person, the computer frequently gets them so wrong. After browsing conduit, earth stakes, neutral links and a bunch of other 240 volt electrical stuff it has suggested I may be interested in a camouflage corset. :shock:

Sure I might find a suitably shapely person therewithin, "interesting" :lol: but am stumped as to how it came up with this suggestion!

Another pearler from the 'bay; "Heels now on sale", and baby monitors at low prices.

Do I look like a pregnant transvestite? :shock:

slightly off topic.. but often I get asked to buy things for a girl working here, who is scared to have her own ebay account...

she browses and then sends me the link..

but when she re-opens ebay, for some reason it comes up with the things I was last looking at, on her work PC :twisted:

So next time she asks... I will leave my last search with suitable items for her :lol:

The Bay is trying to tell me something maybe...

My suggestions are three Berlingo vans and a C15 Romahome... :roll:

I saw one of those go through British Car Auctions at Camberley last Thursday, had I known you were interested in them Jim I would have been bidding on it for you :lol:

I must admit I've always had a bit of a hankering for one but the costs of them makes my eyes water...

Great for rallies...

Exactly, I can't imagine anyone in their right mind paying £9,000 for that one on eBay, £9,000 buys a lot of hotel rooms complete with the essential shower and bathroom, it'd be a little difficult to fit those in a Romashed.

But not of the RAC variety :lol:
