£4.95 Screw Rod, SFU1605 1000mm, is it really any good

[cropwell]

They are a fiver when they are out of stock, but £55 when they are back in stock (probably).

I really hate these posts that advertise something for a stupidly small price, but then pile on the postage to bring it up to a norml price. It means you can only claim the goods amount if there is a problem.

Another thing that T's me off is the eBay trick of advertising (for example) cutting mats in all sizes A1 to A5, but everything but A4 is out of stock.

Yet another irritation is eBay postings from (say) 99p for something worth much more and finding the actual article advertised is really expensive and the 99p is for a spare circlip type of thing.

Maybe I am just getting old and grumpy....
