But if you cancel April it will be another month of waiting for DF - and what's more, you'll miss out on all the reduced price chocolate bunnies!

Evening.


So I've got a few bits and pieces on ebay at the moment - including a designer something, which is almost brand new and rather than go through the auction hell, I've popped a buy it now price on which is a huge bargain for anyone looking for said something.


So I was a bit flabbergasted when someone asked me what the lowest price was that I would take for said item. I politely responded that the buy it now price - which includes p&p - is the lowest I can go. I should say that I'd researched the price before setting it, and it's got double figures in watchers at the mo. so I'm not planning on budging.


And then I went from flabbergasted to being a bit impressed - here was a lady literally living the MSE way. She'd seen something she wanted, at a price she didn't want to pay and took a chance on being able to negotiate a more acceptable price.


And then I went from being impressed to being a bit annoyed as I had several more messages from her asking me to contact her if I changed my mind, and setting out the amount she was prepared to pay, which would be quite a bit less.


And then I went from being annoyed to being a little bit sad - because along with the impressive negotiation technique, and a bit of overkill, she's given me a fair bit of back story and it sounds like she's having a tough time. It's made me think that what she really needs, isn't a nice designer something - it's just a hug and someone to talk to.


So I'm sending out a virtual hug and a cuppa to every one that needs it today, especially if you've just sent 6 messages to a random stranger on ebay.

Ok, we're up to 11 messages, so I'm back to being annoyed.

You're a very kind soul Nora. And absolutely right - though we've probably all made that mistake and it's part of how we've ended up on this forum... at least now we have learnt that lesson.

Virtual GF lemon cake to go with the cuppa for anyone who wants it

*snort* I'm not that kind. I've just had to repress the urge to double the price of said item.

OFFICIAL NOTICE: We are sorry to announce that there are no spare eggs on the table for anyone.

In unrelated news, Nora appears to be sweating chocolate and wearing an iced 'Love you Mum' sign on her forehead.

Never! My actual first thought was 'Oh God, a sob story to get what she wants...this is all because of those darn* talent shows on tv'. Then I figured I was being too harsh... mebbes....


*yep, 'darn' was the word. Uhuh.
