September 19, 2006 :: Score!
Ah, the joys of eBay....
My shiny new door, waiting for me to pick it up...
Here's the auction text for the door...
Brand New Beautiful Beveled glass with brass accented interior/exterior "36" door. Ready for light sanding, staining or painting. Ready for hardware, knobs or lever door openers. Purchased from Lowe's brand new 300.00 but will not fit into my HOME. Local pick-up. No deliveries. No shipments as this thing is HEAVY solid oak and interior core material. Not just for a front or back door. Will look terrific in an entrance to the master bedroom bath or den. Questions encouraged. Good luck!!
My winning bid?
$27.00
I love eBay.
At the same time, I kinda feel bad for the seller. I mean, this WAS a $300 door. Yes, I needed the door, and yes, I couldn't really afford more than $30 for it right now...still, I'm one of those people who feel bad when I get a good deal at someone else's expense. I know a lot of people wouldn't feel that way, but I do. Can't help it.
To the seller, if you're reading this, you don't know HOW much I appreciate being able to get a nice door like this for such a great price. As you can see, if you've read any of my other entries, money is a little tight at the moment. So, thank you.
