Just wondering peoples' thoughts on buying things like toilet suites and shower screens from online eBay stores?

Thanks Borg, confirmed what I thought. Just trying to keep the costs of 3 wall-faced close coupled toilets with soft-close lids to a minimum. Not a lot of price competition where we live so am trying to compare with other areas and look into freight. I think best to source locally for showers.

Thanks GeoffW1 and Borg. We do have a Bunnings in Cairns (a bit over an hour away). Will check out what they have up here. I don't know how to put my location up for all to see.

That's great dadandsue. I was at Smithfield Bunnings today. Very jealous being so close. Went down to check out toilet suites :D and go to a home show at the showgrounds. Checking out some grid-connect solar systems. When do you think you will make the move from BNE? Are you ready for your first ful...

So the steam mop would be ok on T and G flooring? Clean grout will be an issue for us, we have red soil, lots of it and it stains EVERYTHING.

Currently we have a Dyson DC19 with the turbine head (not motorised). We also have 2 chinchilla kittens. They are very fluffy and are starting to shed alot of fur/hair. Also they love chasing and playing with each other which causes more of their fur to fall out. The Dyson does an okay job of picki...

Really nice Rae. Love the little corner shelf unit, I think it really finishes off the kitchen nicely.

I don't think you are being very fussy at all. You pay for a certain quality so you expect a certain quality. We are spending big $$$$ on these new houses and sometimes near enough is not good enough. Stick to your guns for what is important to you.

Good idea. Get your GF to go out a couple of times so they know her car and then get her to do regular drive-bys.
