    I've just looked at your auction, those vouchers are a really good deal! Hope the price goes up a bit for you.

    Thoose vouchers have been going for anything up to about £2 alone then postage costs. They'll not sell for much but it's a sale.

    If it wasn't for my nearest tesco being MILES away, I'd be over there loitering for till spits. Thoose seem to go really well on FEE-bay, I saw an auction for just a few hundred points sitting at £40 not long ago!

    There's not a Tesco for miles from me either, or I'd snap up the vouchers. The once or twice I've been to a Tesco I've been really impressed with the clothes.

    eugghh, will he be wearing his dirty mac when he arrives to pick them up? Hope some rich weirdo takes bids for them though.
    Most of my ebay sales are for wee amounts but I still reckon it's a £5 a week or so that's better off in my pocket that cluttering up the house. and you are providing a public service cleaning the streets up too!

    Ebay certainly does attract some some err strange and unusual types! Still that didnt stop me thinking about selling used tights! :rotfl: Not that I actually did but then I dont use ebay as much as I should!

    Well done for having the patience to keep going with it! :T

    Don't let him pick them up!! Post them. (I'm sure I didn't need to tell you that.)

    I'm beginning to regret all the manky old shoes I've thrown away over the years.

    NONONONO! I told him I'm not happy about meeting someone to give them their purchase, postage is the only option...so I'll see what happens.
    When i was down visiting my sister I said "I've got something to tell you", I was going to tell her about me pinching thoose boots from the roadside but before I got a word in edge ways she said "Have you taken all my old shoes?!!" I couldn't carry on my scentence for creasing myself! :rotfl:
