Just gets better. Won a carpet cleaner on eBay. Arrived today in a soaked cardboard box and half of it missing. Luckily from a dealer not a private seller so got half a chance of getting it swapped for a complete one.

Didn't really win it, unless you paid zero for it and had it delivered for free.
Don't really understand why people think they win things on Ebay.

I'm with you on that one Sea Raider.
"I won this on ebay"
"No, you bought it from someone via ebay"Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
2012 RRS SDV6
2008 RRS TDV8
"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
It's a win if you view auctions as competitive and taking skill to bid on the right listing for the product you want, at the right time and judging the number and enthusiasm of other bidders; the other bidders have 'lost' the opportunity to purchase the item; if they have 'lost', the successful bidder must have 'won'!

You know “clean it up” means “quick, sell it before it starts to honk”.

You don't win in an auction, you just buy the item at a higher price than others were prepared to pay. One might more realistically say the seller has won, not you.
S'funny how people get suckered by marketing blurb. In this case it's eBay's blurb.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

it was bad enough the shower playing up ... nearly steam-cleaned my dangly bits last Thursday. Then freeze-dried them on Friday.
ordered the parts and went to fit them today.
the jack-of-all-trades family friend who retiled the bathroom a few years back managed to create a hole in the tile too ing small to get the cartridge out and fit a new one ...
and once I'd drilled enough holes to widen the hole in the tile, found he'd "handily" filled the void with silicon.
should have sussed it wasn't a good choice of tradesman when he delighted in telling us it had taken 3 years to sort out the leaks in the shower he'd put in at home.
