Posted October 3, 2009 I'm currently reorganising my room, and have decided to buy myself a new double bed. Of course, this means getting rid of my old double sofa bed, so I'm selling for auction on ebay, starting at £40. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190339319391 Yeah, I know it's in poor condition, but buying it for cheap, then recovering it, would deffinitely be far cheaper than buying one brand new! Anyways, just thought I'd post this to see if anyone's intersted. Thanks to anyone who bids! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2009 I have to ask, how did the cushions get so fucked up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2009 We used to have it downstairs before I had it in my room, and we had two pet Ferrets. When we let them run round the living room, they tore it up a tad, hence the mess you see in the pic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2009 Good luck trying to sell that; you're going to need it haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2009 Sell it to the Tate as 'modern art'... they'll buy any old crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2009 Yeah, I know sellnig that on ebay is a longshot, but for £1 to list it, I might as well try. :p And I might try and sell it to the Tate actually! xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2009 lol, no offense intended, but you should probably be paying for someone to take it away. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2009 I probably should be tbh, lol, but I figured it's worth a shot. Besides, if someone chooses to buy just the main sofa bed itself, then I'm sure it'd be easy enough for them to buy a new matress + cushions. Plus that's be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying one brand new! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2009 I'd have been tempted to list it for a fiver tbh, you won't get any interest at 40 mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2009 I know it's a ridiculous price, and I actually wanted to list it with a 99p starting bid. However, my parents were persistent, and demanded at least £40 for it. ¬¬ It's only because it was hand made to order around 10 years ago, and it cost them almost £1000 back then.

So ten years use... £1000 cost... means you got £100 use out of it each year so in theory if in good condition it might be worth £80 but... with the horrific damage - seriously, you expect us to believe it was just ferrets that did that? - then I'd say it's worth the princely sum of £10... basically the delivery cost.

Erm, it was because of my Ferrets actually. Have you ever owned any? Probbably not by the looks of things, because you'd know they're crafty little buggers when they want to be. That plus sharp claws = wrecked sofa bed. And I tried to explain to my parents about the price actually, yet they still didn't get it, which is why I'm stuck selling it at such a shitty price. At the end of the day, it's not really my sofa bed, my parents bought it, so it's up to them to sort out the price tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2009 I reckon you'd be better just selling the frame (If you can remove the cushions just to get the frame). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2009 I'd freecycle it, but I don't have to please my parents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2009 I reckon you'd be better just selling the frame (If you can remove the cushions just to get the frame). I actually have specified that on the eBay page, maybe I should make that bit stand out more... EDIT: Sorted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2009 I actually have specified that on the eBay page, maybe I should make that bit stand out more... EDIT: Sorted! Yeah but the trouble is people will see the poor state of the cushions and immediately dismiss it. Whereas if it were just a frame they might be interested.

Posted October 6, 2009 £40? This is one of those hilarious ebay jokes... right?! Seriously dude, you need to take down that picture of it with the cushions on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2009 Got rid of the cushions pic now, let's see how it goes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2009 Maybe add a photo of just the frame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) I would, but it's a bit late now tbh. Plus my parents actually want to keep it now, so if I don't sell it they'll have it. I wish they'd make up thier minds. ¬¬ EDIT: So I've ended the auction early due to lack of interest, but mainly because my parents actually want to keep it now, for deffinite. Oh well, at least it'll be out of my room. Edited October 7, 2009 by CoolFunkMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
