UK only - Items for sale
Carol and I found ourselves bidding against each other on eBay for a video, so I thought it might be a good idea to start up an for sale / wanted thread, because I am sure there are lots of us who have videos, recipe books, clothes, exercise equipment and lots of other things that are in good condition but we don't use any more.
Taking a leaf out of eBay's book, probably the easiest way to do this is for whoever wants to sell something to put an 'advertising' post on this thread giving a good description, a minimum amount wanted, a final date for the sale to close and an estimate of the postage price (buyer pays the postage).
Then the would-be buyers could send a personal message to the seller by clicking on PM at the top of the post to make an offer for the item. If/when the seller is happy with the offer then the buyer sends the seller a cheque and when that is received the seller sends the item to the buyer.
I can't figure out how to do the bidding thing or how to do the items wanted, so I know this will take a lot of trust on behalf of us all, but hopefully it will work.
