Help me flog my boots

[twinsetandpearls]

I am selling a brand new pair of boots on ebat from Next, the long Victorian ones at
£89.99.
They are unworn I just forgot to send them back, someone wants to buy them now, what price would you ask?

Why can't you send them back? Next have taken stuff back from me after a month or two?

What size?

It is 28 days to return, I phoned up and checked.

THey are a size 6.

I just love the boots and thought i could slim my chubby little legs into them - so didn't return them! Have now ordered some others designed for people with chipolata stumps like me!

Dp says £60 after walking out fo the room in disgust that I paid £89.99 for a pair of boots that don't fit!

tell them to make you an offer

I took back sheets to Next that were 3 months old, (but still in the plastic) wrong colour, and they told me that they wouldn't take anything else back past the 28 days, but refunded me my money.

worth a try before selling them at a loss. Esp before Xmas.

I have been into the store, they said that they are especially strict with shoes!

Just take them back to your local store and say you have lsot the receipt and exchange them for other things or gift vouchers, they don't need to know how long you've had them

like wcl says!

I could try sending dp in tomorrow, they might remember me, but you can't withdraw an item once you have bids though can you?

Yes, get someone else to take them back and say they don't have the receipt because lost it/gift/blah blah.

Do it now before they go in to the sale otherwise you'll only get the price they're at then IYSWIM.

Ask for the courier to pick them up. They're won't send them back out again, but they'll refund instead. Defintiely not worth losing £30+ over.

I could send dp in and he could play dumb male bought slim boots for fat girlfriend and they don't fit and now she has checked into rehab with an eating disorder so she won't be needing them now as all she is wearing is a loose gown and fluffy slippers!

you can withdraw an item with bids on. it's not the done thing but I've seen people do it.

or get a friend to put a really high bid on.

PMSL TSAP!

But if I withdraw I have to do it now as you can't withdraw in last 12 hours, I ahve 23 left - so not enough time to go to thw shops try and get a refund and then go back home and take them off ebay. So if I take them off ebay now and then Next don't take them back I may have problems listing them again on ebay.

Get someone to put in a high bid now £90. Then if someone on ebay out bids them before auction ends, sell them to that person. If not get DH to take the boots back to Next.

If they don't take them relist on ebay and say the buyer is pissing you around and so you are relisting

I am too honest for this lark!!!

Dp is even more honest than me, he was horrified at the suggestion of false bids and now just wants me to sell them in ebay!

Why didn't you ask our advice in the first place sorry i would have taken them off your hands but i am a 40

I am more than willing to follow soapboxes advice, I have even roped my mUm in to do the bidding!

Dp has far to namy principles for my liking! Especially as they are principles we can't afford!

Moral of the tale ask the court of Mumsnet before doing anything!
