Hello, where are you based? I'd be interested in one of the blue mini Micros and a jumperoo and a 6-9 month snowsuit if you have one suitable for a boy? Also potentially interested in the brio. How much of it is there? I could collect tomorrow.

Selling all on Sunday - please come to the sale at jags I believe it's from 9.30 onwards

Would like to sell everything at the sale as working as much as I can before the move so won't have time for views

Everything is in excellent condition

She was not at jags today..... funny she is only a registered seller since 22nd Nov 2013 so it would not surprise me if this AD was fake and only a selling tactic which is just trying to lure us to JAGS boot sale............................. items do sound to good to be true................. look at her replies????????????????????????

Yes completely agree. I also went down solely for this and even messaged when I was there. I didn't find anything else worthwhile there so don't think I'll be be going again. She may be genuine and have gotten busy or had an emergency but still no reply to my message so not convinced.

If this was a stunt that's terrible for the stall holders that were there.

There were some great stalls and bargains but according to Peekaboo's ads there were meant to be 27 stalls and soft play. There certainly was no soft play there?

Just looked back at the info. My mistake it doesn't say soft play it says 'play area'. I guess there were a couple of toys in the cafe area?


I do think the people that were there were selling some great stuff I just hope that this random Melissa stunt doesn't ruin it for the genuine sellers that were there yesterday

If I were them, I'd be very cross as that list of stuff with prices made their stuff seem more expensive than it actually was. When you've been promised, for example, an Ergo for ?10, then a Manduca for ?40 (actually a really decent price) looks far dearer.

This is in the Family room Classified section and the for sale section and it is only here that the post had been changed to gone???

Don't really understand what's going on? Was this a marketing ploy? I hope not because this forum is so much about good faith.

GONE?!?! Are you kidding me?


It would be hugely helpful if someone organising the sale responded to this. I am utterly pissed off and feel like a mug. I responded to these posts in good faith, turned down other good offers to get my required items and organised childcare for my son who was unwell.


Nothing makes me more mad than people taking the piss with my time. A response from the organisers to clarify their position on this would be most useful.

I have also PM'd Melissa and it hasn't been read, at 8 1/2 months pregnant emotions are running high, as is the precious requirement for sleep. I too rearranged help from family to organise my new baby room and got childcare for my daughter. I really hope that Melissa is OK as are her family, however I fear that I have been taken for a marketing mug and doubt very much I will attend a sale there again.

I also gave up my only chance of a vague lie in, which with a teething six month old is very precious!


While we waited to go in, the organiser was telling us that 'Melissa' and her friend, with whom she apparently planned to run the sale, were ill. Since I was already there and had reorganised things, I went in anyway, but in no real frame of mind to buy things.


There was an empty table, and the name attached to it was not Melissa Smith, but still giving the benefit of the doubt, I thought it might be her friend. I PMed saying how frustrating it must be and to let me know if she planned to attend a different sale or sell direct. I then saw the message on here.

Right

Here is my tuppence worth.

I have no experience of either Melissa or the sale


I went especially on Sunday after seeing the ad too

This was after an exchange in which Melissa had responded v promptly saying she would reserve things for me. However, then communication dried up. My PMs to Melissa were not read. I think this might be due to what I found out at the sale:

I went to the sale anyway in the hope that she might be there. I was the second person there and asked the organiser which table she was on. Organiser told me that Mel and her friend who share a stall were both ill and that they couldn't make it. Said she was a regular seller with great things normally.

I find the 'gone' message odd but I don't think Peekaboo need a stunt for advertising.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By kford · Posted

      The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
