        leveret’s scheme for ebay happiness.
        decide a) how much it’s normally worth and b) how much you really want it allowing for condition location rarity need etc.

        slam in a bid for a) at the beginning, this should stop the time wasters pretty early

        every time someone beats it, put in a decent bit extra til you reach your real limit. show you really want it and are prepared to spend to get it.

        either you’ll win or it will go way over what you were prepared to pay anyway.
        pay and enjoy !

            still gonna get summat for the summer :love:

            but the ones I like way out of my price range (when considering insurance etc )

            it’ll all be good eventually :bounce_fl

            Top idea I have loads of self builds they are just great, you can all kinds of stiff for nowt, kitchen units etc really make it you own. Have you though about a

            daff british railways permanent way crew van truck BR on eBay (end time 13-Feb-10 16:23:54 GMT)

            they look amozing and probably have electrics etc..may a smaller one though !!

            All the ones I’ve been in have felt much ore compfy than an off the shelf.

            Good luck

                its a bit big for me matey!!

                If I was looking at a live in one maybe – marcus is bringing me down from the ceeling as I keep looking at ‘propper’ vans :laugh_at: and he keeps being practical about feul etc and I keep thinking – ohhh but its pretty ….. and its got a wood burner:love:
                I need summat that can fit on the drive – it’ll get vandalised on my road, I told me dad I planned to park it at his as they live in big time suburbia and he told me to fuck off :laugh_at: :hopeless:

                but realistically I need a weekend one – have seen some good (home build) ones on gumtree, so just waiting for the scoot to go – get a propper idea at budget then *whoot Whoot* :bounce_fl:bounce_fl

                          decided not to go for the old gal and it went for well over my budget anyway!!

                          then got all excited about one in wales – til told the reserve price,

                          so now all excited about an ambulance with a belfast sink and wood burner :bounce_fl and fixed private sale and within budget **fuck Yeh**

                                  work however is a bit rubbish with politics and management stuff :you_crazy :hopeless:
                                  I applied for another job – but its been put on hold due to funding 2 days after the closing date of the advert which is a bit mad I find… and not too promising even if they reopen applications – I wont persue it

                                  got shambala tickets – thinking of beatherder and pondering secret garden but its a bit expensive me thinks

                                  where you going cycling etc?

                                      well, am thinking we’ll go see it – but it may not be the best idea as the LPG conversion is DIY and someone replied to my post on tribal living and said much netter proffessionally installed.. but then at my price range I dont think I have much spec really
                                      anywya

                                      your trips sound wicked, I’ve never been to scotland and a few friends did a touring holiday and took in the highlands and absolutley loved it :bounce_fl

                                        best to take a car knowledgeable acquantance along with ya :), sometimes DIY is just as good, (sometimes its proper shoddy i suppose tho lol)

                                        should be a good laugh, passing the shisha round with the reggae beats in the middle of a field is appealing:)
