Firstly let me apologize. I've put ME on the Avatar. One of my friends, think it was happy was cross with me for having a cartoon fat bird on there so I changed it.
But really, this wasn't the point of the blog at all. Hubby and I have been selling sh*t on ebay. Well not exactly sh*t, more like "stuff" really.
Tonight we had two people collect a guitar and a digital piano. The guy who bought the guitar (and he got a deal) was so happy that his son would get this great gift for Christmas and we threw loads of stuff in with it. It made me smile inside to see his happiness and so what? if we didn't get the price we really wanted. It's just "stuff" right?
The guy who bought the piano was Eastern European. His wife and he moved to the UK from Slovakia and she wanted to teach English Lit. She couldn't get a job so got a job on Japenese Airlines ( I bet she is beautiful)
Anyhoo, she had to leave her piano back home in Slovakia and she misses it so much. So this lovely guy has bought his wife a digital piano for christmas. He drove 150 miles tonight to collect it so he could hide it before she got home tomorrow. Bless!!! And he paid cash and was worried that we might think that cash wasn't good enough? Hello?
Another result. I am so pleased that our "stuff" is going to people who will really appreciate it. It will make them so happy and I would love to be a fly on the wall when the Slovakian guy gives his lovely wife the piano as a Christmas gift.
We also got a result. We bidded on a flight box for the Roddy dog, and we won it for £63 RRP £165, Yes, we have to drive an hour and a half to collect it, but it means that we can get the pooch used to it before we go. So that brings my blood pressure down a tick or two too.
See there are STILL lovely people in the world who care for each other and it gives me a warm feeling. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

How wonderful to see your goods going to such deserving homes.
I sold my Ovation a couple of years ago and like you didn't exactly get the price I'd have liked, but it was great to see it go to someone who really appreciated it.
