Its Tuesday and tonight's the night I pick up my cabinet!!!

My step dad and I travelled to Luton with every intention of collecting the cabinet that I had won on E-Bay. However after a slight detour and a trip all around Luton trying to locate the collection point, we telephoned Denzel (the E-Bay Seller) and we met whilst driving along a road in Luton.

When we arrived at his "lockup" I was amazed at the number of machines he had.. There must have been about 20 machines crammed into a two small rooms.

When I was shown my prize purchase, my jaw dropped! - It was massive! There was absolutely no way that it would ever fit in the vehicle for delivering back to my house.  My first thought was, "bugger - now I'm gonna have to pay a courier to collect it", this would have meant two things..
1) Yet another delay until I can start
2) An increase in cost.

Now, those of you who have purchased goods from E-Bay will know that all sales are final, however in this case the seller was very reasonable and simply offered to sell me an alternative cabinet. Top-bloke!

After about half an hour of going through his other stock, I finally settled upon the cabinet. It was slightly damaged (as you can see in the picture below) and he was reluctant to sell it to me because of this - I assured him that it was okay and the deal was done.

So Dave (my step dad) and I lugged the cabinet into the vehicle and shot back to Peterborough.  Eventually got through my gate at about 11:30pm.  Fortunately it was pitch black - so my wife couldn't see exactly what I had bought! :)
