Anyone else tempted to email the seller and ask if they made an error with the starting price and meant £29.99? :rotfl:

SECOND LINK DOWN....

someone has asked a question saying they want one for a 'home office', :rolleyes: hmmm, interesting idea for those of us who don't have a utility and need an excuse to get one .

Those cabinet prices have just gone crazy.

Can I ask an ebay question here?
What happens if there's no reserve price can the stuff go at the last minute for something like one pence?

sandieb

Cooltrikerchick - loads of potential with those pieces! Do show us when they are done.

I''ve picked up a nest of tables at auction today:o. I'm really not going to be popular with my OH!!

I've got a question, on this sort of shiny finish is sanding enough to give a key for the paint or should I be thinking of stripping the finish off? I've given it a light sanding and it still feels very smooth and shiny - what do you think?

just giving a bump!:D
