A little bit of information would be nice..

I do a lot of vintage shopping. Running around great flea markets and antique shops is like my favourite things to do. When buying a new house in the country side I have gone all in on up-cycling and great deals.

Our new guest bathroom for one has been built with tiles from an amazing outlet shop with an insane selection of exclusive tiles for seriously good money. And when building a guest house for renting long lasting timeless materials are key.

I also do a lot online shopping. Before I quit Facebook I had picked up a lot of items via their Marketplace. These days I go through the national online market place to find certain items. Mostly for the garden.

Finding the perfect things for ones house is a little bit like finding the perfect house in the first place. But when looking for stuff there is a huge hurdle. A hurdle created by the people selling and or giving things away.

The for free scam.

No measurements i.e. seem to be the standard when looking for fence material or bar tables. No joke! If I am looking for fence online I already know where and how to use it right?

So knowing the height and length of the pieces of cast iron fence bits for sure is more interesting than to know how many fence poles are coming with the bunch.

Another thing, which happened as late as today, is people giving away things for free. Or so they pretend.

Cause after placing an initial add stating the item is for free. The for free part rapidly changes when people start showing interest. At that point I am sensing not only me but a lot of other people also lost interest in both the item and the seller.
