A car. Brilliant experience.

A car about 20 years ago, from Europe. Was brand new so not such a huge risk.

Car, paid for it fully, only when I sat in the show room waiting to collect it that I thought......this is weird, I've not even seen it or driven it🤔was sick of trying to make a decision so just bought it😳

£45k of car. Never set foot in the dealer - a nice chap called Duncan drove it the 200 or so miles down. Bit surreal 😬

A baby grand piano - from ebay of all places. Not quite as bizarre as it sounds as I did get my parents' piano tuner to give it a thorough going over before I pressed the buy it now button....

Fancy candle

A house? Everything done via email. Only travelling was to drop ID off at the solicitors, I’ve still not seen the inside of this house to this day.
