The deck has been finished for over an year now and I have been dying to get an outdoor setting for a very long time. I LOVE outdoor furniture, especially the ones made out of wicker! I wanted to get a 7 piece dinning setting made out of wicker so I went browsing around in shops and OMG they are so expensive! They all hit the $800+ mark!
I was really disappointed so I turned to ebay. Ebay has anything and everything, new or used and you can buy from local sellers or international sellers. However there is also a huge risk buying a product from an unknown seller and waste your time and money on it, so have to be careful too.
So I searched on ebay for new or used outdoor furniture and I came across quite a few I liked. I added the ones I liked to my 'watch list' and sorted it by priority to which one I would bid first.
I had a few in my 'watch list but this one was top of my list.
It's new and it's WICKER! It ticked my the boxes! I was so excited!
However, on ebay too many people bid and when bidding gets out of hand you go over budget, so I set myself a budget of $350. If it was a used setting my budget was $150-200 but this is brand new and it's WICKER! :D
A trick I learnt from my hubby is, if you are bidding in ebay, put in your highest bid at the last 20 seconds. If you win, you win, if not, you keep looking.
And guess what! I WON! I won the bidding war! WOHOO!!!!
So apparently the RRP of the dinning setting was $1,199.95 and I scored it for $310!!!
The chairs came in boxes and the table had to be assembled.
It looks soooo good! I can't believe I bought of off ebay!
Have to say I am quite pleased with my purchase :):):)
Can't wait for summer now!
