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.

This would be interesting.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
