Strange ebay shop

Have sold 5 of my xbox games

For a grand total of about a tenner I think. I kept the postage prices to a bare minimum, which means it's really not worth my while even writing out these envelopes, bah. Would not consider my first foray into selling on ebay a success. Will reconsi...

Who understands ebay?

Not me! You may have noticed I am endlessly plugging things that interest me on ebay, like habitat radius wardrobe (ends today, already soared past the price we paid for one recently, collect from Walthamstow). Ebay pay an affilliate commission, so t...

I think I need this

John Lewis Bergerac trunk. Not a trunk for keeping all your Bergerac DVDs in, Bergerac is a range of furniture from John Lewis. This would match some pieces we have. Unfortunately bidding has gone crazy already, I was vainly hoping it would hang arou...

Not thought to look on ebay for a house before

Here's one near us. Via FG, where there are more details. Kind of via there anyway, obviously I wrote that and I wrote this. It's not our house though, just to clear up any confusion...Only 15 minutes left to bid, so I guess no-one will after followi...

This dining table and chairs is currently at �742! That would be a nice little income in these credit crunching times, but also if you're thinking of buying this new you'd be making a saving of about 50%. So everyone's a winner!Designed by Simon Peng...

'baywatch - battle of the console tables

this console table is all the way up to �2.20, whereas this one in Manchester has shot straight in with a bullet at eighty quid! What's the best tactic then, starting high, or starting at 99p? Am watching them both, I will report back. Think we got o...

Suspicious Habitat Radius listings creeping in.

Some new Habitat Radius furniture listings this week on ebay, a wardrobe in Dorset, and a console table and bench / coffee table (we have one we use as a seat, they're using it as a coffee table) in Newark. But what's this? OK, it's a coffee table, b...

Just bought a Bugaboo Cameleon!

Decided today, why not get the baby buggy first, and then see how big a car we need to fit it into, instead of choosing the car first and then seeing what buggy will fit in it. Very sensible I'm sure.Bugaboo Cameleon...

They're going up in value, buy one quick, offset the massive losses of your Lloyds TSB shares! See the wardrobe here, that was with some damage and collecting from the midlands....

Large dining table this time

As that last Habitat Radius dining table went for over 400 quid in the end, and it was the small version, I expect this large Habitat Radius dining table to do well. It's in London too, not sure if that makes a difference. The last one was in Brighto...

I did not win that xbox

Outbid on an old school xbox, bah. Do you have one? Are you local? Can I collect? I don't care about any games but a remote would be nice. I passed up on one that went for a tenner for this one, because it came with a remote....

Someone else struggling with their Habitat Radius wardrobe doors

Wonder if the person selling this wardrobe was planning to sell the wardrobe anyway, or if the doors not shutting properly has driven them mad and made them want rid? That's how I read it:This wardrobe was bought from Habitat around 3 years ago. It c...
