Was Free! Unsure now. used summer house Bristol / Avon

Its nothing to do with me i promise.


I saw this on ebay after going to the garden centre and wishing i had a summer house. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Summer-House_W0QQitemZ320225219925QQihZ011QQcategoryZ139959QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and thought it looked really nice and it's free! Needs a little repair and its no where near me or i would have snapped it up but thought someone on here would want it as it is not listed very well and easily missed.
You need to dismantle yourself. My kids would love this...hope someone on here gets it.

Edit

Someone emailed him (thanks masterbrown) and he has now said the following;
"Yes, he said as long as I'm prepared to dismantle it they wont charge me to pick it up but they're looking to get around £200 for it. Told him I'd leave it."

So he has obviously gone a bit greedy from all the interest from this post so has decided that it is not free now. Sorry.
I wouldn't bid.

    If you read what they have written they said free to collector. I did this on e-bay for a mattress once which I did not want to throw away. You have to put something as the opening bid.

    But it looks like you have to bid, I read the free to collector being delivery is free if collected.

    I wonder how shallow people can get when they slate people for trying to help.It's not the first ive seen on these forums just lately ,when someone tries their best to help others you just get jobsworth types jumping on them right away for no or very little reason.As other people have pointed out it is indeed free.So in answer to your question you did miss something.Now lighten up a bit and get a life
    THANKS Mandles For a great post !!!!!

    I wasnt slating mealy passing a observation, I said thanks in my post you quoted. The only one who is slating is YOU

    Thats why I posted "Thanks it doesnt look free to me, or am I missing something only free delivery. " Thats why I said am I missing something

    Are we not allowed to comment now in threads mealy because some people may think it may cause offence.?

    So why dont you take your own advice "Now lighten up a bit and get a life"

    In your case if all you can do is make derogatory comments (which I think will deter people from posting useful posts such as the one above)then maybe refraining would be an idea.

    I think YOU should 'get a life' or lighten up!!:p This poster was nowhere near as aggressive or nasty as some of the bushwackers on here,or for that matter,you! I can understand you getting upset at these people but I reckon you picked wrong poster, I have only been on here a few months but can point out two or three regular culprits no problem....:eek:

    A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute ...:A
