    Evening all - haven't posted for a while but have kept up with all the posts.


    Not found anything in any petites that I would like to buy - but have been getting rid a few things though and that makes me happy.


    Have a good evening all

    If the Tikiboo website crashes tonight I will know it's you lot filling your baskets :rotfl:

    ScotinLondon, well done for the no spends and for getting rid of what you don't want. I feel another good old clear out coming on myself :)

    Forgot to declare a green summer dress Charity shop find last week (originally primark) 4.50, and today I bought a pair of black jeans (12.99) as my last remaining pair seem to have gone missing, and a yellow cardigan which I have wanted for a long, long time and is so soft to touch (9.99) both New Look.

    Hello all
    I didnt buy anything from Tikiboo :eek: Shock horror but to be honest I forgot as I went out :( But my DIL kept the side up and filled her basket up and checked out with the whole lot :D

    I am thinking of setting up a FB selling page for the really nice clothes as I am getting a bit fed up of Ebay fees.
    So I could sell it cheaper and also give a much more personnal service.

    But I want to do it once and do it right so my DIL has her own PR company (what is that all about ) But does all the FB stuff to promote clients companies or products so going to get her down to help me :D She doesnt know that yet but she will :rotfl:

    What do you think ? What would you like to see ? I used to work in Market research so I know how important it is.

    This would still be for charity not for myself but I am sure I could make it work ;)

    Mavvymoo - go for it. In reality - what have you to lose and the charities have everything to gain.

    Mavvy - sounds like a great idea - like a online Charity Boutique - really cool.

    essential: What would I like to see - mostly just what would make a good eBay listing really - measurements, decent photo etc, reasonable prices. A return policy (if something different to the listing), decent P&P, information about the Charity and how buying from them will make a difference.

    Desirable:a nice boutique-y (like the Mary Portas shops) but with more reasonable prices.

    I'm also thinking that the USP is that you are an absolute star CS shopper and you only choose the best so having some sense of you as a person (I don't mean person details just your "voice" - it's something about there being a personal touch - like you've chosen it for us..

    That's my ten pennuth :)

    oooh & please tell us when you've done it

    Went onto the TU website to order something for someone else and ended up with another 2 tops for myself. Shall report with the damage when I decide whether I'm keeping both or not :o

    Thank you somerandom.You have hit the nail on the head here as this is exactly what I had thought. Almost like a bespoke service I also hate listings without measurements and carpy photos :( Where you cant see a certain part or a heel of a shoe for example.

    So my listings would be spot on and returns would never be a problem. I would always treat people as I would like to be treated everytime :D

    I will let you know as soon as I sort something out maybe a little while as I now have about 900 :eek: Items here which I have to hang etc etc etc and make the hall look fantastic for next Sat. I have been spamming FB for a week now :rotfl:Only in sales pages not annoying my friends :)

    Have put 2 huge signs out at the top of the road and had loads of questions etc. So hopefully we will be busy loads with the of return of customers and they are telling their friends so should be good.

    I do really have some good things here so am hoping no fights break out :rotfl:(joking)

    kerri I got that email at 5pm yesterday and by 5.05pm I had checked out with 3 pairs :D I was really quick or I knew they would sell out within minutes. £19.99 a pair what a bargain :D
