Step Ladders sick as a parrot!!!!!

We bought a set of step ladders for £115 Inc. P&P thought we had a good buy, went on ebay to sell our old step ladders off and while checking the competion lo and behold £43 cheaper, the very same step ladders. If your in the market for step ladders looks a bargain to me. Excuse me a minute just finding a small room to cry in.

    1) Always should shop around for prices if you are the sort that wants to save pennies on everything

    2) Take ebay with a pinch of salt... many fake items and items which are deceptively written to make you think they are something more than they are (cant follow the link to ebay as on work PC)

    Hi,

    there are also many of genuine bargains and genuine traders, with me being one.
    There is also alot of high street names sell on ebay. So try not to be so negative. I deal with people on ebay from all over the world and find it is not hard to spot fake or a rip off.

    I didnt say all were bad... after all I sell on ebay too, but saying take with a pinch of salt simply means to be careful. Make sure you read carefully (eg the typical difference between Canon Batterygrip and Batterygrip for Canon)
