I love it when we do a search for our local area, no more than 50km away and get results for Adelaide and Perth. Always useful for a pick up item.

I'm currently looking to replace my dining suite.
I thought I'd take a quick look on Gumtree using my phone app, (it's easier than using my pc.)

WELL......................

searching dining suites > furniture > Bathurst/Orange region + 100kms= returned approx 4000 + results!

I had any listing that had the word *dining* in it,

any listing that had the word *suite* in it,

every listing advertised under *furniture* in what must have been all of Australia,

PLUS... all the *Wanted* adds that I had already opted in *for sale* adds.

TALK ABOUT BLEEDING FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!

I gave up.......

I'm in no hurry.....
While I am watching a couple here on eBay, I doubt I will actually purchase off eBay, especially since I can't view the suite before purchase because I certainly dont want to get any seller penalised, for good customer service, that is now deemed by eBay as SELLING OFF EBAY!!!  **bleep**!!!!!!!!!!
