Turtle doves fingerless glove seconds swap thread

[AlternativelyWired]

As per the Christmas thread with the bath humbug: If anyone wants to swap their random colours of turtle doves fingerless gloves from the seconds shop on eBay please post here what you have and what you'd like to swap for. I think this is allowed...if not then fair enough.

I have a green pair and a black/navy blue and white striped pair for swapping and might be tempted to swap my dove grey ones.

I'll post photos when I've finished my cup of tea

@Blixem that would be great. Which would you like to swap for?

There's nothing on there at the moment though. I think we have all cleared them out!

@shumway could you post a picture? Both sound lovely! What is the fitting like on them? Thanks

@Blixem I'll try and post a pic when I get home from work this evening.

Could I have the blue ones please?

I'll pm you so we can swap addresses.@shumway

I don't even wear gloves but I want a pair

Anyone interested in a swap for my red and cream pairs?

Thank you so much @mogtheexcellent I've received your parcel.

Just noticed that the Turtle Doves seconds are back on ebay, I live in mine, can't wait to get some more!

I've just had this email from Turtle Doves. They are increasing the price of the Fingerless gloves on their website from £28 to £35

All the more reason to grab what you can via the cheap ebay outlet while they are still in stock

Wow that's one heck of an increase!

I've just ordered three pairs of seconds. i won't be able to buy new and pristine given the price of the increase.

£29 to £35. Wow! Glad I have just bought some. Disappointing I have just found them when there is a price increase - typical!

I have a skinny pair of green from the ebay store - I can't see any holes or faults and no mark on the tag.
Picture of both I received, DD has kept the black ones.

@paintyhands thank you for the purple ones they arrived today and are great 😃

Does anyone have a pair they'd like to sell rather than swap?

I love Turtle Doves gloves, but I think the price increases lately are going to make them increasingly unaffordable. £35.00 is far too much.

There's no way I would be buying them for the new price. It's crazy money for a pair of fingerless gloves.

@BergamotMouse I'd be happy to sell my green pair but they are slim.

EBay has been restocked

Thanks for the heads up. Had wanted a pair of their fingerless gloves but thought the price was a bit steep. Have bought two pairs from their ebay seconds shop and am hoping I don't get anything too pastel-y.

I've ordered two from eBay. Fingers crossed...

I’ve ordered three, I already have a pair myself. DH mocked but he’ll be begging for a pair come winter!
