soapdragon Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Am still trawling Gumtree/Preloved/Oxford Daily Info for a tall pine chest of drawers and have come across some ads which have obviously been posted in a hurry by someone who's attention had slipped for a vital moment I particularly liked the Vanished Pine Chest and Pair of Floor Lumps Will update with any further howlers!

Looney Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 i'm glad you posted Gertie otherwise I'd still be racking my brains as to what 'lumps' are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just spotted a 'GP's Satellite Navigation system' for sale online (GPS - I guess, not that I know exactly what that stands for?!) Presumably so Drs can find their way round when making home visits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 This is proving slightly addictive - even when I have got my pine chest (tho goodness knows when that will be!)

soapdragon Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Whoop, whoop finally got my pine chest of drawers via Gumtree! However, this meant that I then had to sell on the two bedside 3 drawer chests that I had been using which were too small! I put them on Gumtree and had a response very quickly from a chap who wanted to by my 'three chests'. I e-mailed him to say that, actually, there were only two as per photos and description (which was very clear!!) He then e-mailed back to apologise for having misread the ad but asked that, as there were only two, would I accept £20.00 instead of £30.00? This whole'buying a chest of drawers and selling two bedside cabinets' has been a real education (and the cabinets havn't gone yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
