why dont you get someone to draw it up the way you want it and get it made, prob alot cheaper and a one off

Ah really! it's frustrating I know!.. I was in the same boat up until last week and eventually found one I loved on gumtree for a bargain price of £100!! I then saw the exact one on eBay which finished tonight for £175 so that makes me feel good!!

Have you tried gumtree? ..I know it's full of strange things and weird people but may be worth a shot?

Here's mine .. my salon is gradually coming together now xx

I got mine off eBay £500 brand new they make them to order. Xx

 

[JoJo1980]

Haha that will keep your junior busy with the polish! Very pretty though
I just looked on gumtree but nada :cry:
I want something fairly big. I saw one on ebay last week and it was perfect, then got outbid by £10!!! ARGH!!
Ah, on with the eternal search :irked:

Ha.. God so true!
Oohh nightmare.. Do you put in your maximum bid you would be prepared to pay? Rather than inputting a higher bid each time you are outbid? That way eBay can bid on your behalf and anyone who bids last minute will be automatically out bid by you!! And that still doesn't mean that you will pay the price you enter as your maximum limit.. Xxx

i dont do this anymore as i was getting caught out,
i dont declare my bid at all until the last 4 secs now, so i watch it and when the timer is counting down(remember and reload your page) i submit my highest bid that im prepared to pay. (set it all up so all you need to do is confirm bid) i always win now and never pay as much as my highest bid, as ppl dont know your interested and the bids dont go up every 2mins

sorry so crap at explaining

 

[JoJo1980]

I did, but would have gone an extra tenner if pushed.. gutted.

if you want it wood i would contact a joiner or maybe try colleges,

Are there any good carpenters in your area? A carpenter might be able to make exactly what you want and it might not be as expensive as you think?

 

[JoJo1980]

oooh good idea! thanks guys xx

I know exactly what you mean as I too do this! I input my maximum bid just as it's about to end.. Not as close as 4 secs though ad I have had times where I haven't been quick enough and missed out all together!! X
