Umbrella on e-bay, "how much!!!!"

bryanp · 10-05-2007, 11:26

Just looking on E-bay and found a "as new" Superb umbrella being sold for £74.99 + £14.99 postage, thats nearly 90 quid for an umbrella!!! the seller is even saying its cheap as it will cost a bomb from Skoda, is this right how much do Skoda sell them for? God im gonna make sure I dont lose mine you never know when 100 quid could come in handy!!!! but seriously I couldn't justify paying that for something thats sits in a door and is forgot about most of the time, what about you guys?

bryanp · 10-05-2007, 11:34

yes mate its under Skoda Superb anyway but try, eBay.co.uk: SKODA SUPERB UMBRELLA IDEAL REPLACEMENT L@@K !!!! (item 200107395686 end time 16-May-07 23:52:17 BST)

Gizmo68 · 10-05-2007, 11:38

£34.99 from Skoda, i e-mailed the guy a few days ago stating this.

bryanp · 10-05-2007, 11:52

Robbing B****RD! Thats the problem with e-bay, you can get sucked in too thinking your getting a bargain when you actually being fleeced, I always check on the net first as you can nearly always get items cheaper from other shop sites!

andy2407 · 10-05-2007, 11:56

Here it is on the Skoda Accesories site - £34.99 as Gizmo said!

Å*koda Accessories

auroan · 10-05-2007, 12:39

tut tut... some people will try anything

pugwash · 10-05-2007, 18:32

my new one came without the brolly - dealer said was going to cost them 35 quid to replace and not the first one missing - obviously a market - does that mean superbs are fashionable !!!!!

bengie · 10-05-2007, 18:45

fair play to the guy, i bet he's made some money out of it

put for sale on ebay.
buyer pays for item.
go to skoda and buy umbrella.
sit back and make money

no way of losing!

***JohnD*** · 10-05-2007, 19:11

Can be arranged - just let me know

mattbeef · 10-05-2007, 19:13

Lummox · 10-05-2007, 19:17

I have a new Superb umbrella if someone wants one, PM me for info

gillywibble · 10-05-2007, 19:31

I was thinking of getting a Skoda umbrella so would definitely be interested in a Briskoda one. Perhaps start a thread?

DaveC · 10-05-2007, 20:17

I was unfortunate enough to break mine.
Got a similiar size replacement from M&S for £15

primey · 12-05-2007, 01:23

If this thing sells for £75, then I know what my new sideline job will be...

rotodiesel · 12-05-2007, 13:01

You lot are forgetting the Skoda jokes. The £75 includes the car.

rotodiesel.

bengie · 12-05-2007, 13:42

so if that man can get an umbrella to fit fine for £15 from M&S then why aren't you calling Skoda ROBBING B****RDS!!!!!!! they are charging over double what M&S do

Very true, cant disagree with you there but isn't that we've come to expect from the stealers!!!!

ZootyRS · 16-05-2007, 09:56

Only £28 for one for the Passat from VW dealers. I presume they're the same size/shape as the Skoda version?

Might be interested in a Brisky one, or indeed a Skoda one

***JohnD*** · 16-05-2007, 12:50

Ok all I have seen that there is a degree of interest in this and have already put out enquiieis for these. I think from past selling of this sort of thing we could come in around the £15 mark + p&p

When i have some firm pricing will get back to this.

***JohnD*** · 16-05-2007, 13:22

Ok update on this.

Just had a call from my suppliers, and can confirm that we could do a BRISKODA
branded umbrella (Golf size -that's the game not the motor) for £15.75 for Freedom members (£19 for non-Freedom members) with a projected P&P of £4-00.

Before anyone says they can get them cheaper, they can, but the quality is not even worth discussing!!!
Over the years I have sold several hundred of these things and it has always been worth the extra.

Colour would be Green / White panels - 3 of each with BRISKODA on the white panels.

We can and will with some time put these into shop area, but for now just PM me with expressions of interest.

ZootyRS · 17-05-2007, 09:56

Is that going to fit in the Superb umbrella holder though?

auroan · 17-05-2007, 10:04

Nah golf ones are the big tall umbrellas
