I Don't Get It. Can Someone Explain It To Me Please?

How can you sell 12 x 50g Eat Natural Almond & Apricot with Yogurt Bars for £145.95 when, in most supermarkets, you can buy a packet of 3 x 50g bars for £1.99? Even if they meant to put 12 x Packets of 3, that would cost £23.88 only in a supermarket so do they really get the price they are asking on eBay? I haven't seen one ad on eBay selling these bars for less that you would pay in a supermarket so why do people buy them?

It says bulk, so maybe 12 packs of 12 bars - 144 bars?

[Bazile]

Are they offering 144 bars approx. ?

[Bazile]

mamy - you weren't there when I began to post :-)

[hc4361]

Could be they've sold out, so they've inflated the price to stop people buying but kept the listing.

Is it 12 boxes of 12?
"BULK DEAL 12 x Eat Natural Almond & Apricot bar + yogurt coating 50g x 12 bars healthy snacks health bars"
Still expensive though

[hc4361]

A lot of that seller's items are over priced

I was thinking the same as Mamya and Bazile; hope they have a long 'Best Before' date on them. :))

[Mamyalynne]

People may well not be buying them , there are no reviews.

[gingejbee]

I certainly understand that to be 12 boxes of 12 bars...

[Bazile]

//People may well not be buying them , there are no reviews.//

I'm sure they are not being bought , because people are thinking that the offer is 12 of the bars for £145.95 , and who in their right mind is going to pay that .

The way the offer reads at first glance , I'm sure is not what the company intended

[Mamyalynne]

People may well misread it but I read 12x 'blurb' x12.

[Bazile]

which is what I read as well

Thank you all for your answers. You don't hang about do you:-) More likely to be 144 bars but that is still over £50 more than they would cost in the supermarket. I just find it hard to believe anybody is that daft to pay those prices. As hc has said, lots of this seller's stuff is overpriced. Still, you do get free postage!!

You could ask the seller to clarify (aka justify) what the deal really is.

I would never buy food on Ebay, you never know if its genuine or fake.

[hc4361]

Do you buy from markets, trt?
