Ted Middleton's garage clearance.
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 12:20 am
Ted is now living in a residential care home.
He has conspired with his step-daughter to involve me in helping clear his garages, which is something of a daunting task, whilst being a serendipitous journey of discovery at the same time! There is a desire for parts to go where they are needed, whilst raising funds to help with the costs of Ted's care. So this is how it will work:
Ebay is too much bother and the commission they and paypal take is becoming unacceptable. I have collected the first car load of parts and will create a listing in the parts for sale section entitled Ted's Stuff. I will display photographs of what is available and will invite best offers for a set period by private message up to a deadline for each group of items; say a week. After the deadline I will let the highest bidder know they have 'won' and arrange payment and delivery with them. Payment will be by two cheques; the first will be the winning bid, payable to Mrs M Lancaster-Crook (Ted's step daughter who has Power of Attorney over his affairs) and the second will be to cover the carriage charged at cost made payable to me.
This is the fairest and simplest method I can think of, giving everyone equal opportunity, whilst getting the best deal for Ted without having to invent prices for everything. I've photographed some items tonight, so will post the first of them hopefully tomorrow....
