A couple of weeks ago I blogged about my car troubles. Essentially someone drove into the back of my car while it was parked. I decided it wasn't economical to get the dents and scratches removed from the boot, but did want to get the light fixed.
I've been dithering about the best / most economical way of doing this. Over the weekend I decided to give eBay a go. I've always been a little bit sceptical about ebay. The first ever blog I read was this one, about a someone who sold a broken laptop on ebay for £375. A person my friend Blue Eyes was unlucky enough to have a brush with.
Thankfully everything worked smoothly. The replacement light arrived within two days and I have just fitted it. If I'm honest it was quite easy, but I still feel proud of my engineering prowess!
For friends, musings, restaurant reviews and travel news.
I think eBay is quite good for those "niche" low value items which aren't stocked by mainstream retailers. This week I bought a brilliant little LED torch for £2.75.
