I have been looking at the Horn sewing cabinets, and once I pull myself up from the floor because the one I like is over £1000 I thought I would see if any came up on ebay.
I actually want two - one for my home and one to have at my partner's flat so it makes sense if I can buy nearly new at a fraction of the price.
Now every time I want to purchase something on e.bay I seem to be travelling for work and the auction always seems to finish when I am mid flight or can't get access to the Internet which is very frustrating.
So I found a beautiful cabinet that I wanted, waited for a while to see how the bidding was going so I didn't go in too cheap nor too high - and it got up to over £300 and it was at this point when I started to think what is my walk-away price. I decided that price was £350, and can you believe it someone topped me and got this cabinet for £360 .................................. I felt gutted - I would have paid that, but I guess I got cold feet. Perhaps you have to have a real gambling mentality for ebay.
I am looking at another one - have put in a small bid which has already been topped, but it is 2nd best because it is not really the colour I want. so I may let it pass until one in the pale colour come up again.
hey ho I guess that is how it goes.
I love a bargain, or trying to create something out of nothing (something I picked up from my thrifty mother). I have my chickens and my kitchen garden, both of these provide produce for my love of cooking. Basically, if you can sew it, make, grow it or cook it you have come to the right place. Follow me on my sewing/growing/cooking and making adventures together with some of life’s daily trials and tribulations.
