Seller careless with collection item

Won 2 items from the same seller last weekend. An electric fan and a stepper exercise machine.
Went this afternoon to go and pick up. The fan was there, but the guy couldn't find the stepper. Practically turned the garage upside down looking for it while we waited. Said that he'd left it at the front of the garage ready, but he said he had his garage door open and the scrap man could have taken it.
It was lucky that we didn't have a wasted journey, as we got the fan. But he did give us a different exercise machine to take instead. Very much like this one pictured....
But it's a bit smaller. He didn't charge us anything for it. So we paid £6 for a floor standing fan and this exercise machine. :rotfl: Hubby whispered to me "quick lets go before he asks for any more money".

I'm not surprised your husband said that- £6 for that blonde lady is a bargain!
