E-bay

I know it is fabulous but it makes me never want to buy anything new ever again!

I am online looking for 2 climbing frames, one for toddler, one for age 7+. I thought I'd take a wee look at e-bay and they have the very ones I want for a fraction of the price but so many are down south. There is one locally, but got 9 days to wait..............

Just make sure you buy a TP climbing frame.
They are galvanised and last.
Cheaper painted metal ones just rust.
But whatever you buy-expect holes in your lawn and cursing when you cannot mow round the legs.
You will be strimmering for all you are worth.....

I don't do the mowing

You must visit! It's great for little things as well as big things, like I needed tablecloth clips - e-bay for £1.99 perfect! No trailing round shops with kids in tow.

Just received my red and black Ché Guevara T-shirt I bought from eBay

I'm looking forward to wearing it to work tomorrow (casual day) just to annoy the stuffy peeps who work there!

Am I right in thinking you have a baby? Wealth of good quality stuff for babies on e-bay. I priced shoo shoos on loads of sites, and e-bay was the cheapest.

It never ceases to amaze me what will happen when 2 people want the same item enough on Ebay.
I listed a very rare Iron Maiden 7" EP - only 5,000 were pressed.
It was bought by a girl from France and sold for £127.00 + Postage!
It sat at around £40.00 until 2 minutes from the end and then just went bananas.
There is an awful lot of stuff on there that is described as being in far better condition than it actually is and a lot of overpriced rubbish.
There are bargains to be had though.

There is a climbing frame ending today, would cost over £500 if new, I'm currently highest bidder at £102 but it's in Newcastle, so don't really mind if I lose

Oh must go have a looky and check what time it finishes.

I have secured some really good bargains on e-bay, mainly toys for my kids.

Someone asked that question, was it you?

If it wasn't

then the answer is, yes, it does!

I'm still on the hunt for one. The Newcastle one went for about £130 I think, which I would have been happy to pay if it was Edinburgh, but really didn't fancy the drive.

Have you looked in the free newspapers which are just adverts of people selling things or in the supermarkets which often have cards at the front of the store advertising things people want to sell. Or what about that freecycle place where goodies can be picked up. Good Luck

Thanks Jet Blue, I should do that. I tried to register on Freecycle a while ago when I had a futon I wanted rid of, but I had problems registering. I now have a dining table and sofas that could go on it as well, so maybe I'll have another try and maybe get lucky with a climbing frame.

Did someone get your frame, Rexi?

some charitable organistion might take the furniture of you r hands - would be better than it going to the crusher if it could be of some use to someone.

*goes to google "shoo shoos"*

Shoo shoos are great once they are padding around the house. I use them as slippers.

I gave up looking for local climbing frame on ebay and decided to get the one in Argos. Blooming out of stock. I'll get a bloody climbing frame before the end of Summer if it kills me!

I have a feeling I could soon be a pointy Ford Corsair owner once again!
I have spotted what may be my seventh one wanting a new home on Ebay.

Rule 1 when you find a bargin on ebay don't advertise it to people on a internet forum in fact don't tell anyone until the fat lady sings
