Anyone live near Beaconsfield
 
I'm watching a set of fairing lowers on eBay RHS lower is damaged but the left looks ok which is what Im after. Problem is the seller refuses to post them. Would someone be willing to collect on my behalf and post them up to me for a small beer fee obviously ;)
Finishes sometime tomorrow afternoon and needs collecting within 7 days.

Please thank you muchy nicey people.

Hey, I will collect them for you. And where I work I have access to loads of packing materials so can have them packaged perfectly for you.
Just let me know if you need my help and I will pm my number to you.
Tony.

On another forum I use they have something that would translate to 'SV650 Express' on here. Basically a section in which you may ask if someone is doing a given journey in the near future, and if they are would they kindly pick up whatever from wherever along their way, to whatever agreement you have about the costs unless by a stunning coincidence someone really is going right by both destinations on their route.
Obviously 'express' isn't necessarily very accurate - you may have to wait a bit until someone is doing a suitable journey, but it works well all the same.
Unless you know them well enough don't expect anyone to spend money on your behalf though, you'd be surprised but some people get offended when no-one is willing to shell out a couple of hundred quid for a complete stranger's replacement engine.

Seems like a very good idea to me. Item could be passed on from one orger to another until it reached the required destination. :cool: So long as there was no immediate rush for it...

C'mon -it goes without saying that everything would have to be paid for by the purchaser prior to collection -your not gonna have the cheek to ask someone to pay for your item and pick it up

I won them (kinda), I actually missed the end of the auction so didnt bid but contacted the seller and he's happy to sell them at thier starting price. So if you can PM your details furry I'll paypal you £60, £20 should more than cover the postage and a couple of pints.
I can give you the sellers mobile number for you to make arrangements to collect.

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Hasn't always turned out like that though.

I dont understand how people can have that mentality, I feel cheeky as feck as it is. This seller is insisting on cash on collection so the only logical thing in my eyes is to pay furry upfront. You'd have to have some minerals to ask someone to make themselves out of pocket.

Set up the section as described but also set up a set of none negotiable rules, ie payment in advance of collection delivery to the buyer within a certain time frame etc.
