    Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole myself but some people are crazy and probably would.. then come on here moaning that they've been ripped off etc.

    Seems odd that there is no photo when most of their (overpriced) other items have photos.

    Similarly, I once saw a painting listed without a photo! The seller described the painting in some detail, saying they didn't have a camera to hand, highlighting how attractive the unseen painting was...

    No it didn't sell. So they tried relisting ... but still with no photo!

    I would say no photo then its most likely 30 years old, been used as a trampoline by the 6 kids and a bed for their 3 Irish Wolfhounds while they were casting hairs and dont forget the beer stains when their mates were round for the football and spilt their beer all over it

    Made me laugh - she wants someone to go up and clear out the junk in her attic and pay over £2000 for the privilege. But don't come unless you want to buy lol!

    Weird!

    She also does psychic readings by the looks of her feedback, so presumably she would know before you do if you were coming and if you were buying or not! :rotfl:
    You had me at your proper use of "you're".

    Imagine as well is someone is mad enough to buy it then they'll have a tough time trying to collect as the seller 'doesn't have much time'

    I seem to recall the new rules for photos include the requirement a listing must now have a photo.......or did I dream that bit?

    Edit - found it.
