Dining Table

Hi,

I have listed a dining table with 6 chairs.

I wonder if the listing needs 'dressing up'....?

Not sure what type of wood it is. Can anyone see from pics what it is

I did buy it new for $1200.

So far not a nibble.

Any advice would be gratefully received

Thank you

Hi,

I dont' know but looks like Thai teak to me.

Photo's look good and perhaps describe a little more about items.

Material on top of chairs?

Reason for selling?

And also mention in the listing you bought the set for 1200.

The wood could be Oak.

In the title of your listing I would add -

P/up from "insert Postcode"

So people can tell at a glance if it is viable for them.

I would describe the material of the chairs - looks like leather as far as I can see.

Also describe in more detail if there is any damage.

You could say something like "In excellent condition with only a few minor scuff marks from normal wear and tear" (for example)

I would certainly add - CASH ON PICKUP

To be honest, I'm not sure how much traction you'll get for such an item on Ebay - might be easier to get rid of it on the other classified site (and save yourself some money in FVF's)
