    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:

    Really! Then go and look at some of savemoney,s other posts. The one on this thread is hardly an isolated case.

    Its only free to collect you still have to win the bid apparantly. The seller needs to change the wording in their listing.
    Thanks anyway op.
    Did you know you can get Viagra software now??? Yeah, it turns your floppy drive into a hard drive :D

    Did you email her then? If its free to collector , when someone says they will have it and come to collect it you just end bidding early, you dont bid or its not free!??

    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 !!!!!

    Exactly! I was accused of lying about recieving my freebie the other day ... it's nasty how some people think they can treat you differently just because they are hidden behind a computer. :mad:

    This seems like a good freebie but I'm also too far away, hopefully someone will snap it up!

    says FREE TO COLLECTOR

    How do you prove you are a summer house collector? If you were a philatelist you could take your stamp album, but how do you do it here?

    Must be a bit of a minority hobby I guess...

    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.

    Savemoney was absolutely correct so what was wrong with him/her saying so. :confused::confused:

    It was obvious that the item was offered for sale on a bid basis and free collection for any winning buyer was offered rather than any shipping suggestions. :D
