Can I just say as the first person who responded to this ad, I think it is bad practice to advertise something at a set price and then allow forum members to bid for the item behind the scenes. If someone offers the original asking price, they should be in a contract of goodwill with the seller.


In my opinion the forum works best *for everyone* if it is run fairly and I think that means that items should be advertised either as 'offers welcome' or at a set price. It's unfair to move the goalposts after the fact.

It's up for the individuals to decide how they want to sell something. The forum just offers a platform for people to advertise, there's no rules on how to sell per-se apart from fairness, common sense, politeness and the law i.e. the Sales of Goods Act.

I had a few complaints about the table post. FYIO Aside from those who turned up to look at the table, 8 EDF members asked to buy the table, none of them replied to texts or actually turned up at the appointed time. This has happened almost every time we have advertised - not concerned, it is par for the course. My own experience of buying through EDF is that if you really really want something, you either pay ahead of time, go immediately to the location for pick up and/or pay over the advertised price.

    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.  
    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
