Help required with a Ebay Buy!
« on: July 24, 2010, 09:08:29 am »
Hi all...

Always asking favors of people arnt I   :ashamed:

Well after been told by Hedge of a Milltek Exhaust on Ebay and a little bit of haggling the price has been agreed on but the seller does not want the hassle of shipping it because he`s already selling it too cheap  :confused:

The guy lives in Wirral, Merseyside.  So would there be ANY one that could possibly do us a GREAT favour and pick it up and then I`ll arrange pick up from yours etc... I`d also have to pay you first as it`s cash on collection but I`ll sort all that out before you go etc...

fingers crossed someone can help, don`t fancy a 4 and bit hour drive, would cost me a fortune in the fridge  :jumping:

 :happy2:

............won't he pack it up for you if you arange for it to be collected ?. I would think a courier would only charge around 20 quid to deliver it?. I sold some alloys & they were only around 30 quid to send.

Sounds like a seller that can't be arsed dealing with Postage and Packaging. Its not that hard to wrap it up with bubble wrap and get it ready for collection.
Some people eh?

Have you tried to offer him a couple of quid to buy some bubble wrap etc. He might be more willing to do it then, if not then he's just tight!

Let me speak to my Dad as he lives in Wigan and Works in liverpool a fair bit so he might be able to do it if he is there this week.

He is coming down to me on Friday so i don't mind posting it on for you and just sort me out with the Courier fee :happy2:

That would be even easier save postage all round  :happy2:

I'll bell my dad later and see if he is about that way next week. If not im sure he will take a trip over for some fuel tokens :smiley:

No worries with beer tokens or REAL money.... would just be nice to get this thing sorted....  :drinking:

Just waiting for a email reply from the seller as to a postcode or at least some way of getting a closer fix for me to ask someone to collect it (I dont want him to think I want his address so I know where his car is etc)....  but i do need to know where to pick the item up from  :rolleye:

Cheers to all the people offering help, I might be calling on you  :notworthy:
