Has anybody used www.localbargainfinder.co.uk ? It searches for items on eBay without postage based on your postcode - so mainly large or heavy items like furniture, toys and car parts.

I bought a set of Black & Decker Hedgeclippers for £1.27!! which had been used no more than a few times, but I did give the seller £5 to help ease my conscience. :embarasse

    Hiya,

    I use advanced search on ebay for specific things but this site shows me all bargains in my area :j

    Thanks OP I shall never miss a bargain again ;)

    Ps Bless your cotton socks for giving the seller £5- I had that happen too when I won a bid for 99p... I won myself a cot, moses basket, toys, bouncy chair and bags of baby clothes from 0 months to 1 year :eek: I felt that bad that I gave the seller £20 (it was all I had on me) and it was all in excellent condition....

    I use the Location options on the left hand side within ebay. You can choose to search between 10 and 2000 miles of your home postcode.

    First Anniversary Combo Breaker
    I have just looked as well and seen some bargains in my area. Before any items I wanted which turned out to be for pick up onlywhere far away. Very frustrating.

    Thanks :beer: :j
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)
