At the moment we are trying to sell some things before we move. Five and a half years is a long time in which you can collect a lot of rubbish! Amazing what people will do and ask....
- I sold 2 IKEA stair-gates to someone for 40 dirhams (about 8 euros). The next morning she calls back and asks if she can return them as they didn't fit!!! (the answer was: 'no')
- 20 year old Harman Kardon amplifiers sell within 3 minutes of putting the add online, as do old B&W speakers (maybe we should have asked more...)
- No, we cannot take 150 of the price and we certainly cannot deliver to Al Ain (1,5 hour drive) if the item is a sofa and a chair and I only want to get a few hundred dirhams for it!
- Korean lady takes 30 minutes to find our house (she was in a 1-mile radius), views my table and 3 chairs and wonders for 10 minutes how she can make that into a table and 4 chairs.
- Our old garden swing will have a new life in Turkey!
to be continued.....
by the way, let me know if you are interested in anything, we might be selling it :)
