sparkysmum Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this. My lovely girl is moving rooms and needs a slightly smaller one than the one she has currently. Being a teenager she needs it now and cant possibly wait the 2 wks most major companies are quoting Had a look on ebay last night and there are a couple of sellers who seem to be both inexpensive and speedy. However I am wondering if its too good to be true. If you can throw any suggestions my way I'd love to hear from you. Thanks as always.

soapdragon Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Its always a bit of a punt buying from E bay but don't forget that you can take action if its not up to scratch/as described. In my experience the vast, vast majority of people who use E bay are honest and just wanting to make a little extra from stuff they don't need any longer so you should be fine! Alternativley does your local paper have a classified section or have you tried the local newsagents for ads? In both cases you could probably go and look first before deciding. Good luck!

CatieB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yes we bought our bed new from eBay. It's a super king brown leather sleigh bed and memory foam mattress. Love it and the customer service was fab. It cost a fraction of anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
