    It would be a stroke of luck for somebody within collection distance of Burnley to spot it

    My advice is to smooth out the creases in the cushions and try again :p

    There's an offer on it, i wonder how much for. Anyone with a house big enough to fit that lot into can probably afford to buy new. Also I assume a buyer will have to shift the stuff themselves (and get rid of the stuff they've already got) which will knock down the price they'd be willing to pay. If I had a van, lived within 30 miles of you, and really liked the suite and had room for it, I'd probably be prepared to pay £200-300.

    I'm sure it is quite a limited market due to its rather old fashioned styling.

    Personally I'd stop advertising it on here and get it on the small ads at a more sensible price especially as you are going to be stuck when someone pays by paypal.

    It seems too expensive, and the pictures are no good. Move it around so that the light is actually lighting up the sofa.

    That is something that i am looking for, but would not pay that price, as Furniture village brand makes no difference to me.

    I can buy something similar, new, have it delivered all for a lot less then that price

    Like others say that price is way too high!

    How much???

    £850? Seriously? So you're only knocking off £45 from what you paid for it?

    Anyone in their right mind would wait until the next sale and buy a brand new one...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
