What do you think of buying things second hand?
I am all for it myself; cheaper prices, you are recycling and a recoup of money spent for the sellers. Its a win-win-win situation.
Trouble is where to look, isn’t it. Do you scour pre-loved? ebay? Gumtree? Free local ads? tI can take a while can’t it to check out all your options.
Well I have come across a really simple solution to finding your perfect second hand bargain.
Have you heard of for-sale.co.uk? It completely scours the internet to find whatever you are looking for in great second hand condition, to save you hours of searching.
It’s pretty fantastic for us bargain hunters!
I decided to put it to the test. I wanted yellow cushions,ideally from Habitat and preferably at a bargain price. Within less than a second I was presented with 43 results from across the internet. Blimey!
Within moments I had found these lovely Habitat cushions listed on Gumtree. They were being sold for £10 for the pair rather than £12 each which would have been their usual price at Habitat. So £14 saved with a teeny tiny amount of effort.
How simple is that!
They would just look so gorgeous on our red sofa and really add a zing of colour to the room. Very spring like too I think.
Next I searched for an Instax mini. I already have a white one and I was looking for one for a friend for her birthday,like me she is a big fan of yellow. I managed to find this beauty for £50 and several other options on ebay that were going for great prices, some of them only used once.
I think it is gorgeous don’t you and a great saving on the original £69.99, so another £20 quickly saved.
Take a look at this video that shows you how for-sale,.co.uk works. I think it is an excellent resource for us thrifty types! You can place your own ad in seconds and you can get alerts by email when the item you are looking for comes up. It is available on android or iOS.
Being able to search 40 million ads on one site is going to make bargain hunting SO much easier.
What a find!
