Shpock 'boot Sale' Website

[silliemillie]

I have put a couple of my bigger items up for sale on that new website Shpock.

I've noticed that 1 of my items has a couple of 'likes' just like on Facebook.

I'm assuming as these people have not bought the item they are just letting you know it's a nice item even tho they don't want it?

It's all a bit weird isn't it?

Silliemillie - what is this new-fangled website? and why haven't I heard of it?! Shall go and have a nosey now.... cheers for the heads-up :-)

[Peaspeculiars]

Ooooh, I like the website, and yep - I think if someone 'like's your item, they just like it, They would be in touch if they wanted to buy - a bit daft I know. Good luck with selling your items :o)

[silliemillie]

Yes I thinks it's new, only just see it advertised on the TV. It's like Gumtree, for local pick up stuff I think. I thought I would give it a go as some of my items were too big to send.

Ah it's a phone app then.

Do you have Kijiji in the UK? It's a great site for getting or getting rid of stuff. Very simple to use: no bidding, no credit cards or paypal. Of course you can haggle directly with the seller directly: http://www.kijiji.ca/h-ontario/9004

Peas, that is great! Thank you. :-)

[sherrardk]

Thank you - I'm rubbish on eBay and trying to flog stuff on FB is a pain in the butt! I'll have a good look on Monday and see if I can get to grips with it.
