eBay Purchase - Pub Car Park Collection

[DRD]

I have bought some fancy crockery on ebay.

Seller has 100 plus feedback and 100 per cent positive, member over 15 years.

The seller wants to meet at a pub car park. Says downsizing/ moving home.

Collection only makes sense given the risk of damage. But a pub car park ?

Is this all a bit iffy ?

Pub car park = ok
Pub toilets = no!

Probably doesn’t want some eBay loony tune knowing where he lives

I thought for a moment you collected pub car-parks

Still, not the strangest collection I have heard of

As long as you’re not taking a lot of cash, heard of cash car sales where there’s no car except the one full of burly robbers.

I used to meet people in the pub car park because i could see it from my house and then walk back to mine with the buyers for actual collection unless the item was small enough to just carry over.

I've done a few eBay -marketplace deals in car parks, lay-bys, service stations myself never for a huge amount of money though so never really bothered me but I was always there early to get a lay of the land if it was somewhere I didn't know well.

Likewise - I've done this, my house is down a series of steep, narrow, maze like lanes and has no parking at all outside unless you block the road - but a 5 minute drive up the hill is a nice wide pub carpark which is easy to find, so for local pickups I meet people there.

**** me. This forum is like a group for Doggers.

Is it a countryside thing? It would never even cross my mind to do any type of deal based in a pub car park. There again off the top of my head I can’t think of any pubs that I could go to that would even have a car park.

Even drug dealers in London deliver.

Thanks for the wisdom.

Turned out to be a lovely couple. All kosher.

One of those moments that repairs your faith in ebay.

Really not disproving my dogging theory

I have bought pinballs from lay-bys before....
Some people simply dont want strangers in their homes and to be honest I do not these days.
I get them to come to the workshop.

Definitely sound like doggers, for future reference....

If they flash their headlights, that's an invitation to watch

If they flash the headlights and beep the horn, your welcome to join in

If the car alarm is going off, that's attempted vehicle theft, wondering over and getting your old chap out is not advisable

Not worth dying for some crockery David, next time get there an hour early and case the joint like a pro.

Just about the say the same thing, plenty of pinball deals done at a motorway services at 5am...
