I think its a very clever idea. He's selling them as a kind of gift voucher where if you buy it for a penny, you can give it to someone as a present (or use it yourself) and they will recieve  £25 off any cleaning carried out by this company. If its a genuine discount then its a very good marketing idea.
Don't forget some people will buy anything off ebay even second hand stuff for more than you pay for brand new!

I'd thought of doing the same myself, also giving them away on freecycle and as raffle prizes.

I decided that it was simply easier to put a discount on any leaflets/adverts that I get done.

I think if you look at his feedback you'll see he sold one yesterday to "cleverbenny" who thinks its fantastic (feedback). So thats one £100+ job he's got from it and it's cost him next to nowt.

Wonder if its the "Spik and Span" who contributes on here quite regular ?
Maybe he can enlighten us...?
Have to agree with John, sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
Wonder if he'd mind if I nicked his idea and tried it up here in Newcastle. !!
Good luck to him.

Why spoil Ebay by putting multiple listings.

Did you see Watch Dog Tonight.

Ebay full of Counterfeit Goods etc  And they do little about it.
