£30 delivered

I'm not going to post it out, you can arrange a courier but I just haven't the time to sort it.

[s.kaddu]

could arrage courier to collect. Just to wanted to know if it is a PVR3 and if it has Sky Anytime.

[emporer]

yes its a pvr3, has 80gb for sky anytime and 80gb personal.

i'll dig the box out of the attic if you want it, I may not have a power cable for it as i'm using it for my v+ virgin box, i'll have a look if I have another spare somewhere, otherwise its just box and remote both in perfect condition.

[emporer]

up

[plasma_novice]

I'll offer £35 if you're willing to send by parcelforce/courier. No problem if you can't find the power cable as I've plenty of spares that will fit - assuming it's a 'kettle' input, that is. I'm only up the road in Nottingham, but it would cost me more in petrol to collect!

[emporer]

I think it's a small figure 8 type cable, very common.

If its any help we deal with a supplier in Nottingham and I could give the box to them and you maybe collect from there place? i've done this before so shouldnt be a problem. I'll get their address and come back to you.

Emporer,

I will take this at £30 and arrange my own courier.

[emporer]

sounds like a deal to me, pm on way

[plasma_novice]

Emporer - I'm happy to collect from a supplier in Nottingham. Please let me have the address.

Mods - can you please advise as to whether or not I have first call on this, as the seller seems to have agreed to sell to someone else without coming back to me first, as suggested in his post this morning.

[duffy78]

You hadnt agreed on anything yet and i had met all the conditions in his original for sale post with no conditions or caveats.

It has now been paid for and the courier will be booked tonight.

[plasma_novice]

Still not sure if this is correct so will ask a Mod to rule - not trying to be arsey about this, just wanting to ensure that the rules have been adhered to.

Mods - please review and provide 'judgement'

[custodian]

Plasma Novice; sadly you lose out because your offer was a conditional one. The condition was that the seller organises shipment and you would pay him an extra £5 for so doing.

Sorry

[plasma_novice]

No problemo - thanks for clarifying
