i kinda want all of them but i think i am going to bid on these chairs. which one(s) are you going to bid on? these modern leather lounge chairs: 0 bids, starting at 150 dollars.
I just about choked on my coffee when I saw those chairs are in the town I'm in! Now all I have to do is fight the urge to buy them and ask the seller if i can pick them up rather than ship them across town.
shut up! those midcentury nightstands are dying to be given a coat of glossy paint, say ivory or rust, and stored in my back room until the master bedroom is finished.
Check the sellers' reps. The seller of the Lane cabinet has a bad feedback record. On eBay, you can take a risk with a small item (under $50-75), but a big expensive piece of furniture? You need to deal with someone reputable.
that's weird anon..i went and looked and there were only a few negative comments about that seller but several positive ones. are you sure you have the right seller? just asking.
I was going by the positive-feedback percentage: 98.2%. In the last year, the seller had 950 ratings and 17 negatives = 98.2%.
In the listing, after the seller's name, it will give the positive-feedback percentage, then you'll see the question "How is feedback percentage calculated?" Click on that question and you'll the actual numbers used to get to the percentage.
For big purchases, I try to stick with sellers whose ratings are 99% and above. Just my rule of thumb. And I like to look at what the negatives are complaining about: Shipping costs? Misleading description? Bad condition of item? etc. I look to see if patterns of badness emerge.
In the listing, next to the seller's name is a number representing the total no. of feedback ratings they've received. In this case, it's 1163. Click on THAT. Then you'll see "Positive Feedback (last 12 months)." In this seller's case, that's 98.2%. (Not impressive). To the right is the question "How is Feedback Percentage calculated?" Click on that and you'll find out the specific numbers (17 negatives in the last 12 months, etc.).
I bid on those HR night stands after your post and just found out that I won them! Thanks for posting them - I have been looking for night stands for our bedroom and with a few coats of paint I think these will be perfect!
