    You do an advanced search on ebay and copy this text as the 'keyword' -

    "cash on collection" "buyer must collect" "collection only" "no postage" "pick up only" "unable to post" "needs to be collected" "Collection in Person only" "can't post"

    and tick to search title and description. Tick 'items near me' and set the miles from your postcode depending on how far you want to travel to get stuff, I use 10 miles.

    Adjust other search options as you like.

    Tick save this search and then edit the e-mail options for how long you want to get informed of new stuff that matches the search. Stuff that sellers won't post usually goes pretty cheap...

    yes - these are all the signs of a a distressed seller :rotfl:
    never heard so much nonsense

    Hey that's fab! I just found a 'Victorian Antique Pine Television Cabinet'

    Just so I know it will fit mine, what size TVs did the Victorians have?
