as we speak I just had a buyer go aprox 50km catch 2 trains and a bus +walking , to pick up from me know ,wow , by the way I made sure he did not catch a bus , and he left from a train station, any other stories of how far an ebay buyer has gone to to get something .

I would be factoring how much my time was worth, too, for a trip like that. Well, you are a nice fellow Joe. Have a good night.

I had a buyer once whose hubby was a truckie. She was based in Victoria and I was in WA so he turned up with his truck one day to pick up an item.

yes but he was in w/a on business surely

Joe - yes he was but he drove about an extra 60km from where he was dropping his delivery to come and pick up the item. It was a quilt cover set which could have been posted quite easily but that is what he decided to do.

Hubby and I drove to Melbourne once to *view* a car before deciding whether to bid or not.  9hr trip one way. We stayaed overnight and came back the next day. We did not put a bid on the car. (vintage car)
Having said that, a guy from Victoria bought our own vintage car off ebay, and he drove to us (NSW) to first view it and take it for a test drive, then a week later to pick it up after winning the auction. He had further to go on his trips.

I have often travelled to Sydney or to ACT to collect items. I dont mind the travel really.  (3hrs each way to either capital)

The next suburb. But I am only a buyer for AP posting products, so I have NFI.
