long sleeved shirt : free to a good home

Topics

BBBS

bought a shirt the other day, sadly its too small for me and since i've unbagged it and thrown the packing i cant return it so if anyone wants it i'm more than happy to post it to anyone.

its size l probably around a 38-40 chest but very slim fit maybe 36 around the stomach (where it doesnt fit me

)

obviously its brand new, still has its tags on, just no box / bags / stiffeners.

its 100% cotton but quite thick, handwash only, solid black double button collar and double/french cuffs (needs cufflinks) with a grey pattern over the rest of the shirt (grey over black).

all i request is that if you want it you make sure its suitable and promise not to just bang it out on ebay, i want whoever gets it to use and enjoy it as it was supposed to be.

if anyone has any other questions i'll happily answer.

i'll post a pic in a few mins as i have a few pics i have to take.

Nevertheless, this sounds like an exciting new Forum trend.

does that mean you are wanting it?

as i say this is a perfectly genuine offer, its a £200 versace shirt for free to whoever will fit it and use it.

why don't you sell it, if its worth £200, advertise it in your local shop or something

BBBScam, you can still take it back. the shop will allow you an exchange (it's the law).
you still have the tag showing, don't need a receipt.
why can't you take it back?
did you buy it a throoo staff disc?
nudge nudge.... say no more!

honestly, i dont need the money and i dont want the hassle of people phoning in response to an advert, i could give it to a charity shop but i'd rather it went to someone here who would actualy have a proper use for it rather than straight into the handbag of the charity shop staff or a bundle to clothe the latest batch of terrorists that arrived by fruit lorry from france.

i bought it online but once it arrived i removed all the packing and stiffeners and bag and tissue so i cant return it as unused or even not wanted because its not in its original packing.

but no, there was no staff discount (or five fingured discount) involved.

if you paid by card then you dont need a receipt
plus you could still try taking it back, especially if you have the tag

i could send this back if the cuffs fell of, thats quite different.

bozzimacoo, i dont have the box or packing so it wouldnt realy make a present plus i'd feel a bit guilty about doing that.

that tag is only the authenticity tag (which i could have removed, worn the shirt and put back), they used to always sew the authenticity numbers onto their stuff but stopped because in time the id number wore off, by putting it on a card you can keep the proof its not a fake.

ahh okay, know how you feel with online stuff, pain in the ass when it goes wrong. i would put it back online and recoup a little of the £200 smackers you forked out, even tho you don't really want to bother.

another just to add - you can donate all proceeds to a charity, so your efforts would be put to good use

Why not advertise it on eBay?

At least you'll recoup some of your money!

good plan scam

on a *cough*_{cross stitch} forum i use people do this sort of thing all the time.... also when you want something ... particular colours or kits or charts people help out... it's like a free cycle with people you know

In fact i am away over to the craft thread in the lounge to suggest such a thing
