I Ebayed instead of watching football...

... and won two bargains.
An accordian for £1.20 + £4 p&p
Arrived today, in full working order (didn't realise they are sooo loud, lol). I took a chance on this one because seller had poor feedback for packaging (lots damaged in transit).

Bundle of four handbags - picture was from a distance and on a poor quality background. All good quality, excellent condition bags - one sequinned Mickey Mouse (brand new)
99p + £3.99 p&p (actual postage cost £4.41.)

I'm doubley glad I didn't watch the game now :j
I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    Good idea! Wish I'd done that :)
  • Good bargains!

    Much better to have ebayed rather than watch that sorry excuse for a football match :(

    Fantastic bargains but can you actually play the accordian? :)

    Give him time - he's probably practising.

    It's quite heavy and it makes your arms ache but I've had a half decent tune out of it, lol.

    Wow, congratulations on this, I've been looking for a cheap accordian just because they look nice, I don't think i'd ever be able to play one :o but they're always so expensive!

    Edit: What a coincidence, I just won an accordian for 20 quid, not quite as good a bargain as yours but i'm still happy :)
