Hi , Just wondering if there are any members from Sydney,around/anywhere near Waterloo ?
I won a 63 PROOF SET in an auction & only realized just now that it pick up only.
If anyone could help me out here it would be really appreciated.

why can't it be posted?

Don't know Robbie, when i won it i just assumed it would be posted,it was'nt until tonight when i was reading the fine print that it was pick up only.
It was not clearly stated in the ad either,i had to go hunting to find this info,it also said they charge $50 a day for items that are'nt picked up on their specified day.
I seriously would never have bid if i had all the info clearly in front of me before hand,what a pain in the rear end !

Belly Thanks a million Mate, hope all is OK.

If it does not work out for Belly, let me know.
I could possibly get off a train at Redfern and walk there.

Appreciate the offer Ozcoins but Belly has it all under control.:good:

$50 a day lol! Sounds pretty unreasonable. Is it a full set?

The seller may have deliberately hidden the pickup information. He may not be happy when someone arrives to pick up the item. Be careful.-John

Silver Set Matt, Florin,Shilling, Sixpence & Threepence & yes i agree that it seemed very unreasonable to charge $50 a day storage for a 4 coin set.

I was thinking that that is how they make heaps of extra $$$.

It might also just be that someone has mucked them around in the past and they are just trying to stop it happening again.

Thats very possible too Ozcoins,i can imagine that in such a business they would encounter all types of bull.... excuses for why someone has'nt collected their goods.

If i remember correctly i think the sale was for unclaimed items,so they were recouping their storage costs or something along those lines.

Can't charge for late pickup. Against eBay rules.

I don't think it was Ebay.

Hi Shane, It was'nt an ebay purchase, it was an online auction in Sydney.
