March 3, 2010 at 11:06 pm #1223165leveret’s scheme for ebay happiness.
decide a) how much it’s normally worth and b) how much you really want it allowing for condition location rarity need etc.slam in a bid for a) at the beginning, this should stop the time wasters pretty early
every time someone beats it, put in a decent bit extra til you reach your real limit. show you really want it and are prepared to spend to get it.
either you’ll win or it will go way over what you were prepared to pay anyway.
pay and enjoy !March 4, 2010 at 12:14 am #1223185@leveret 374952 wrote:

If I was looking at a live in one maybe – marcus is bringing me down from the ceeling as I keep looking at ‘propper’ vans :laugh_at: and he keeps being practical about feul etc and I keep thinking – ohhh but its pretty ….. and its got a wood burner:love:
I need summat that can fit on the drive – it’ll get vandalised on my road, I told me dad I planned to park it at his as they live in big time suburbia and he told me to fuck off :laugh_at: :hopeless:but realistically I need a weekend one – have seen some good (home build) ones on gumtree, so just waiting for the scoot to go – get a propper idea at budget then *whoot Whoot* :bounce_fl:bounce_fl

March 10, 2010 at 9:38 pm #1223192Life in general is grand :bounce_fl
work however is a bit rubbish with politics and management stuff :you_crazy :hopeless:
I applied for another job – but its been put on hold due to funding 2 days after the closing date of the advert which is a bit mad I find… and not too promising even if they reopen applications – I wont persue itgot shambala tickets – thinking of beatherder and pondering secret garden but its a bit expensive me thinks
where you going cycling etc?
March 10, 2010 at 10:25 pm #1223216oooo ,, have a good time at festies raaa… hopefully yell have a wagon to travel to and fro;)
umm, first gunna go to ipswich from here with fully loaded bergen to see how it is, then gunna go thetford etc in easter holiday… then in summer i reckon well go to scotland and stay in hgihlands for a bit:)

well, am thinking we’ll go see it – but it may not be the best idea as the LPG conversion is DIY and someone replied to my post on tribal living and said much netter proffessionally installed.. but then at my price range I dont think I have much spec really
anywyayour trips sound wicked, I’ve never been to scotland and a few friends did a touring holiday and took in the highlands and absolutley loved it :bounce_fl
March 10, 2010 at 11:07 pm #1223217best to take a car knowledgeable acquantance along with ya :), sometimes DIY is just as good, (sometimes its proper shoddy i suppose tho lol)
:fl_bounce
should be a good laugh, passing the shisha round with the reggae beats in the middle of a field is appealing:)March 10, 2010 at 11:22 pm #1223150@joshd96320 375768 wrote:

and yeh, marcus does seem to know his stuff so he gonna come with me – I really am a typical girl and noticed things like the sink and the crystals and the pictures and the rug 😉
the guy seems genuine and absolutley gutted to be forced to selling it due to redundancy – just got off the phone from him
when he asked what I wanted it for … festies and holidays he said he was pleased it *may* be going to a good home, and i replied ‘what with getting munted and needing somewhere to crash’ and he seemed even more pleased :laugh_at:March 11, 2010 at 12:31 am #1223218@General Lighting 375773 wrote:
