- The auction start price represents the absolute minimum I am willing to accept for a 'Best Chance Offer.' Your bids and offers are welcome, but please keep in mind that this price reflects the baseline value I place on the item.

2. Postage & Packing:

- The 'Postage & Packing' cost is designed to cover not only the actual postage fees but also includes a portion to account for eBay's commission on this cost. Additionally, it factors in the expenses related to packaging materials such as boxes, bubble wrap, and other items essential for secure product dispatch. Your understanding of these considerations is greatly appreciated.

Don't be aggressive with me, don't kick off, don't threaten me as I will respond in robust terms and ensure my point of view is known. Finally I do not take kindly to having my auction start prices, P&P costs and my telephone repair skills questioned and you may well find yourself blocked.
