Unions For Sale
The BBC has many interesting statistics about eBay, but nobody seems to be onto the rumors that drugs are for sale on eBay for people hip enough to know what they're being listed as. They're a bit more suttble that to list them generically as drugs, or as by names such as speed, and searching for acid creates such varied items it'd take all day and a small fortune to get the big score.
Sad as I am, I haven't taken the time to trawl for eBay looking for a supply of illegal substances, but I did find something better, NUS Cards. Now these cards get you discount everywhere, buses, HMV, the cinema, cloths shops, nightclubs and more, and the list is always expanding. It costs me £3.00 to take the bus to town and back, with an NUS Card it'll cost £1.50. Cards can be bought of eBay for £3.00, so the saving potential for me is massive. This of course, cannot be legal, and adverts warn that if the NUS was onto these sales there would be serious repercussions for the Unions that sold the cards. However, the question is, who's selling them?
