I ventured into the For Sale section yesterday on a rare visit. Lo and behold my item is now on page 5 in just over 24 hours. The place is full of people with names I've never heard of who don't appear in the Lounge.


What's more,how do you sell anything there if your post sinks without a trace in minutes? Start a thread in the Lounge?

Put up some decent pictures, sell it for a realistic price and friendly price. it will go. 80% of the sellers using this section don't manage either of these things.


Bumping is bad form, punishable by death.

If it's still on sale after a week.. see earlier post about realistic price and decent photographs.


I'm sure there's a bit of leeway for the 'conscientious bumper' (added information, price reduction) but a bit of leeway can so often be a slippery slope to taking the piss.


Some people find it hard it hard to accept that, you know, no-one wants it.

Yep. That's the kind of thing I mean. You add a bit of info, a picture, a price reduction etc. Some things just have a v. limited market so need a while to sell. Allegedly.

Course I will *Bob* but as volume 2 is special it would probably cost you ?50.

Me too Jeremy but for a fairly select group of people. Mind you if threw in a free towel some of the punters above may go for it.

Trying a new tactic. I've put the price up. Still sinking like a stone with pair of shoes (right one missing) and ill fitting dentures and the like moving up the charts. I need people to ask questions if I'm to stay afloat if you've nothing better to do.

I know *Bob*, I know. I'm an amateur at this malarkey.


PS I have a sandwich toaster myself so I didn't go for it. Love the sandwiches. In fact I often browse through one or other Volumes of The History of Irish Tennis while eating my cheese toastie. I have a paper towel to hand as the quality of the paper is such that you just wouldn't want to get greasy hands on it.


By the way the author is none less than the son of the cousin of a famous writer Aiden Higgins who recently passed away.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
