Bought my 1st item via an E-bay auction last night. Was a rare, much-needed (second-hand) bit for the bike.
Celebrated with my last bottle of Isla Negra bubbly. Can really taste the Riesling now.
Must get some more.

My girls are super efficient carbooters, they find some incredible deals. Recently got me two rechargeable camping lanterns for £2 each.

Freecycle and Preloved are also handy, our old microwave blew last month, got a mint condition, top spec microwave off Preloved for £25, currently reduced to £90 in Comet.

I read sellers are moving away from ebay, running costs are getting too high, ebay are getting greedy.

I was forced to pay £1 towards some charity.

I'd been 'phoning and interwebbing this for weeks to no avail. Other(s) wanted it as well. Turned into a game of poker for the last 5 mins of auction. Very pleased to get it.
