Buying things that are tip material

[buyingboxy62]

Hi

On a few occasions I have bought items that really should have been sent to the tip, anyone else had the same experience...

The weird thing about it these purchases have been from sellers with 100% feedback???

Hmmm

One mans trash is another mans treasure?

So, OP, what is your point?

I know a seller whose entire stock COMES from the tip!

Also with 100% f/back.

Items are all fantastic! He goes, wades through the garbage, brings them home, puts in a lot of elbow grease and hard work into restoration - and the end result is fabulous.

Not only that he fully desrves the f/back, I don't think he gets enough money for his trouble.

And customers love the items, are over the moon, in last two years not a single complaint, on the contrary - everyone is more than pleased with each item, they are better than brand new, mass produced rubbish that we can all buy in regular shops, and certainly more unusual.

My point being that TRASH is TRASH

Don't yell please.

I agree with you, I just disagree with the source and origin of the trash - as well as definition and context of the word.

Must admit I have never been to any tip in my life (seen them on TV mind you), but I have been in plenty of stores - and they are full of it!

Yeah, I had the same thought. It could be that OP means the items they bought did not match the description and were far worse quality.

All the NEGs OP has given were for broken items, plus one because the seller only accepts Paymate!!!!?  Maybe you should try to read the TOS.

Looking at the original listings, you have to laugh at the location: THE CENTRAL COAST.Which could be anywhere from Newcastle to Ourimbah

I bought a dress once, NWT, it smelled like my wheelie bin on a hot day. Sure it came from a mass tip throw.    When I send things to the tip now I cut them in half. Probably sell as skirts and crop tops!
