Was just topping up my lawn mower with petrol on the drive, when a white van pulled up. The van was marked "Furniture Direct" and a man got out wearing a Hi-Viz vest marked "Furniture Direct" and Aviator sunglasses.
He said they were furnishing a big house as a Show Home on a Redrow Estate nearby, but it had been sold and Redrow didn't want to kit it out anymore.
So he had 4 beds that had been paid for and were not needed, and he didn't want to drive them all the way back to the Depot.
He said the Site Foreman had taken a Double for himself, and said anyone local who had a genuine need could have one.
He slid open his van and showed me a mattress. It was poly wrapped and said "Memory Foam".
He said I could have the King Size with Base which retails at £1,999
Although he was giving the impression it was my lucky day, and it was free, I asked how much would it cost then.
He said "Just a drink for the boys" for setting it up.
He showed me the base and gave it all the blah blah sales pitch.
I asked again then how much it would be.
He again said "Just a drink for the boys"
He then said "there are 6 of us" :rotfl:

And "£50 each should cover the drinks for a game on the telly" :rotfl:

I told him I wasn't interested at £300
He then got very pushy. "Where else are you going to get a memory foam King size for £300"

Then he got aggressive, asking me what the problem was.
It made me feel really uncomfortable, but he went away in the end calling me a "time-waster"!

:eek: I'd complain to Furniture Direct

This happened in my area last year quite a bit. Was a scam.
Person did not work for the company and when mattresses unwrapped after they left, they were old used ones, the wrapping was to disguise their used origin.
You did the right thing.

Always amazes me when people fall for door to door "bargains"

lolol I had this last year, bloke came into my work and said he had been kitting out the premier inn up the road, and that these were not required so he was selling them cheap. I asked how much and they were £250, so I played him for a few minutes seeming really interested...... I then told him I was going to ring my sister to check, he said ok, then I said she was the manager of the premier inn up the road, and I knew this wouldn't be their policy and to ring the police so as I picked up my phone he got all shirty and called me a few names so I called him a fair few before he scarpered really quick pmsl, The joys of working in a pub!! customers thought it funny and so did my sister when I told her
