How not to list - lady get an iron

I can't believe that a person who thinks that their precious items are worth buying doesn't think they're also worth pressing. To my mind, if they cant be a**ed giving it an iron they probably won't a**ed to give it a proper wash either. Blech!0

no you can tell it has been washed - it's more pink than yellow! Clearly a reds in with lights kind of gal :rotfl:

The seller's obviously had a disaster with the 'boil wash' setting!

Everything is pink tinged and shrunken! I predict some negs....:rotfl:
Probably what caused all the bother...

When I'm listing I set up my laptop and my ironing board. A nicely presented item makes you think it has been looked after and is going to be in decent nick. I also iron when packing too - i think it irritates people when they get something badly creased through the post.
Looking at that item above - it may be a nice shirt that has just been washed but you instantly get the feeling its going to arrive grubby with holes.0 -
I half imagine it smelling slightly mouldy having been in the cramped bottom of a holdall for weeks. Even if you just washed it and hung the stuff out to dry it wouldn't be half as creased as that.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

To be fair though as it's creased in the photos. No one should be disappointed on receiving it. It is sold as seen.:j Trytryagain FLYLADY - SAYE £700 each month Premium Bonds £713 Mortgage Was £100,000@20/6/08 now zilch 21/4/15:beer: WTL - 52 (I'll do it 4 MUM)0

Tbh, the lack of ironing wouldn't put me off outdoor clothing. You don't take an iron up a mountain, do you? (Unless you're into "extreme ironing"). In fact, ironing or even just washing with conditioner can ruin coatings on specialist clothing.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0

Surely though you wouldn't seriously be selling this stuff unwashed though after a mountain trek..or is that the catch..are we back to specialist fetish items again :eek:I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

No, it should be washed as per the care instructions - just not necessarily ironed.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0
