And thats assuming you also have a vehicle to move it and the seller doesnt dick you around at all.

Yeah, getting fucked about by sellers was also one of the worst parts. I’ve arranged to collect stuff before, then gotten a message saying they’ve sold it to someone else.

Having sold stuff on marketplaces myself, if you agree to something then stick with it, even if you get a better offer.

You could always rent a truck for a few hours. Though that does raise the effective coat you paid for it, but not by much.

Wait till you rent the truck, turn up at their house to collect the item and they tell you they just sold it. But you can have your deposit back...
