eBay Item Collection London: Balham / Earlsfield

[Ian J]

This is a longshot.

Is anyone in the UK going near Balham / Earlsfield in London that could pick-up a collect only item for me that I want to purchase off ebay?

If they are also visiting further north so that I could drive and meet them to collect the item it would be a real bonus.

Fingers and toes crossed.

Well well, it looks like the crossing of your fingers and toes has paid off, for I can do it

We must now cross our butt-cheeks, for we know not what destiny has in store. Stranger-danger in local pick-up.

@comradekingu: Lololol

That's awesome thank you.

Which part of my request, the collection, the coming up North or both?

 

[Løra (Lolla)]

I can pick up from Balham/Earlsfield . Further north depends on how much further north you're talking about?

 

[Ian J]

I've not actually won the item yet but just wanted to try and organise something before bidding.

I don't want you to travel on my behalf if you're not already making a journey, however if you have plans in place to travel nearer to me (Nottingham) then I will be very happy to meet up.

Anything north of the M25 would be a bonus, there is no rush to deliver though.

Get your Team GB vest on Lora ... could perhaps do some relay athletics with this item
I'm Enfield, just in the M25 North London, and although no plans to go Nottingham anytime soon ... I do have a work site visit to Sheffield which will be scheduled soon. Nottingham looks to be sat on that route

 

[Ian J]

Damn I love this forum.

@Fzero: Great idea and I'm absolutely fine with doing that. Team GB go!

 

[Ian J]

Awesome, COMMUNITY POWER!!!

My in-laws live in Sheffield and I visit them at least once a week so could arrange to meet you there if that's OK.

 

[Fzero]

Yeah that's fine with me mate, though as I say I don't know the exact date yet ... I'm expecting it to be within the next few weeks though but I basically have to wait for the client to confirm a date that suits them.
Let us know though if/when you win the item, and we'll sort it out

 

[Ian J]

Well I didn't win the auction

Many thanks to Løra and FZero for their offers of help I really did appreciate it, they have helped restore a little of my faith in personkind.

If I can help you guys or anyone else on the forum in a similar manner please don't hesitate to ask.

 

[Fzero]

aw well, better luck next time ... hopefully pick whatever it was up again soon enough, for an even better deal!

No worries either mate, anytime

Awww, this thread reads like an extension of the caring corner (GB edition). ^^

So what was the item in the end?

 

[Ian J]

It was a computer peripheral, don't want to say too much as I'm hoping to pick up one in the future.

 

[iprice]

Yeah, I guessed that you were being a bit hush hush in the event others might be interested.
