I am just curious, and on the point that hymie makes, is it really worth buying bulky items on eBay?
Everytime I have read of such a "bargain" it is because it turns out wrong. Either the carriage cost is extortionate, it arrives broken or just doesn`t arrive at all. Or it turns out to be faulty and the ongoing argument about return carriage is a nightmare (I think for both parties).
For myself, I would never dream of buying such an item on eBay but what are your stories - good or bad?
