to sell my climbing frame for £100

[agnesf]

Its a tp Challenger with 2 platforms but no slide - cost £330 new. Only 2 years old. Have looked on ebay and they seems to go from anything between £25 and £150 depending on the day of the week.

I want to sell it to some new neighbours so don't want to look mean by asking too much but I think they are still getting a pretty good bargain plus all dismantled, labelled up and delivered to their door.

Not really an AIBU. You might get a better response in the chat section

Yanbu that's a fantastic price

God, no! Do you live near me? It's a bargain, plus none of that tedious arsing about on EBay with 'watches' and 'bids' and transport

Sounds reasonable.

Print off a couple of the ones that went for over £100 to show them, if you like but they would have to prize numpties to dispute that price.

Cfb - could I push it up to £120 then as was hoping to use money to do some tedious arsing about on eBay and buy DCs a trampoline.

I would pay £120 (well, actually I would have to write you and IOU as my new job starts tomorrow after a brief period of unemployment ) I think you might as well ask. Depends what they're like - nice and normal or pushy and grabby. You could always negotiate "We were thinking of around £150 which is what they go for on EBay, what do you think?"

Thanks - they are actually very nice. I have already just given them my daughter's old rather battered micro scooter but was hoping they might become guinea pig minders/ do babysitting swaps etc in future. So I'd rather go in low than high.

Sorry - second hand climbing frame with platforms - no slide, no mention of tent cover or scramble nets etc, I'd only offer £50 ....

Bought ours second hand from the newsagents window ads - with a slide, den and scramble net for £70

I got one with slide and extension for £50.

I sold something recently to a friend-of-friend that I wanted a particular price for, on eBay they went from about £90 -£140 so I just worked out the average and said that was my price. I also explained how I had arrived at that price. they paid it with no negotiation.

I think I you can demonstrate that it is a reasonable price then you should be ok.

Ok, ask for £100 but open to offers. If you are going to be asking for favours then you are right to pitch it low.

Oh dear meala & BTW - I'll check back on ebay. The prices do seem to vary quite widely so I just wanted to pitch it at something that seemed reasonable ....

There's the convenience. All labelled up and delivered with you on hand to sort out any queries................

Not sure why the prices vary so much on ebay - I think part of its due to where you are and how many other people are likely to be bidding on it.
