    Has the seller of that kitchen cabinet on EBAY got back to you yet? Last time I looked they hadn't reduced the price!

    No, not heard a thing! (So I think that seller is quite rude as well as greedy!)

    The seller got back to me and told me that the starting price of £299.00 was following a professional valuation!

    Am I the only one praying that it doesn't sell? :o:D

    Greed comes to mind - it's Ebay not an antiques convention!

    maybe they should have sold it to the professional valuer!
    Don't people LOOK at other similar selling items before putting their stuff on ebay??
    I thought £60 was expensive when i saw one (a doer-upper)advertised near me. Or am I just cheap:o ?
