Someone has asked for a pair that I've marked €2 and another pair marked €3. What's the best price I can offer her for both, including postage. If someone asked to collect them for free, I'd go for it just to get rid of them. But like feck am I going to all the effort to parcel them up and bring them to the post office and sort out transferring money etc, for the sake of less than a fiver!

I just put up individual prices for each because OF COURSE you're going to get people like her coming along only wanting a pair or two. I'm moving house shortly anyways so will be giving the whole lot away for free to whoever wants it, or to a charity shop, or whatever. Just the idea of quibbling over shoes that are going for so cheap!

They show up in a 7 seater car, and take the top half of the cabinet and said they'd come back for the other half, but they'd bring a van because it was too wide for their car. I got a message off them when they left to say I can just get rid of the other half, they don't want it but are keeping the top part and not bringing it back. They couldn't understand that other people were interested in it, and it was no use to them in half. Is that ridiculous or am I just crazy?

I refuse to spend more than 15e on new shoes (except my skechers walking shoes that i wear daily, which are ~€60) But i don't deny that I'm a stinge for shoes, i just can't justify spending more than that for shoes i don't get much use out of!

rawn wrote: » I always buy in sales, second hand shops or in Penneys. But that would be shoes like high heels or nice shoes that I would rarely wear, whereas my daily shoes would be Skechers cos they're so comfy. I could never, ever pay €200 for any item of clothing! Seems such a waste. I'm pretty sure my wedding dress would cost less than €100 when I get down to it after all, I'll only wear it once! Although, I've been tying with the idea of getting a really simple, short wedding dress that I can dye purple or something and wear again... is that super stingey?
