Yeah, I suppose it's the same with everything really, if you need something and can get it at bargain prices, GREAT! (just like I needed a bit of warmth for the cat). Actually, we've been trying to save for quite some time now. . . I get excited when I get to go grocery shopping! I don't think I'll be able to contain myself next time I can actually go out and buy some CLOTHES! AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! home loan application advice 48Jun 17, 2009 7:52 pm Hels My hubby doesn't mind me buying things on eBay, within reason. For example I wanted to update our furniture so I bought 5 pieces on eBay from someone who was separating and moving house. It was all in great cond and originally came from Oz design. We went in there afterwards and priced it all and it would have cost $7000+ but I got it all for $2000 Yes there are a few scratches and some wear and tear but after a few weeks in our house with our 2 year old running riot and it would look in the same condition anyway lol. So, my point is that eBay can be a great resource for buying cheaper or secondhand goods especially for the home. The key is not to abuse it that's all Hels, you did well but it sounds like the seller did particularly well; $2000 for used furniture. IMO it's still a good price to get.

Yes and no, actually he got $1800 as the extra $200 was our cost to hire a moving van with hydraulic lift to pick it all up in, as it's all made from solid Tassie oak He did have a BIN price of $3500 which is half of what he had paid new so I expect he wasn't overly thrilled with $1800 but I was Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

Re: Loan application rejected! :-( Please advise 50Jun 17, 2009 11:30 pm Errrrm... i never buy anything over $35....and it's always something I can use. It's mostly books. Love to read! I'm not bad at all as far as ebay is concerned. The most expensive thing I bought was a spotless, scratchless, dining table with 6 chairs! bought it 4 years back and it's still going strong... even though my daughter more or less eats off the table rather than her plate! I think what my husband fears is the ebay avalanche that might follow after a couple of purchases! Re: Loan application approved! :-) 52Jun 25, 2009 8:24 am Moodyfish Heard from CBA on Monday.

Hi Kev,definitely going with Matt from Gold ruby...will be going to him for the 7th time (and hopefully last time as far as house floor plans are concerned) and finalise our plans.. Re: Loan application approved! :-) 60Jul 06, 2009 12:26 pm Cool... we're expecting to get our unconditional approval by the end of the week, it's been 8 weeks today waiting for an answer from the bank! Will then be able to talk to Matt with some money behind us.
