Do your Christmas shopping on a budget with Local Bargain Finder
Ignore the rather utilitarian design on localbargainfinder.co.uk – what’s behind the site is surprisingly powerful. It’s a set of custom eBay searches that allow you to find auctions near your geographical location, as well as check for negative feedback on bidders and check commonly misspelled variants of your search items.
The service is designed mainly for big bulky stuff, like fridges etc, that are a pain to ship across the country, but there’s plenty of money-saving applications here for Christmas, too. I can tell you right now that someone I know might be getting a Retro TV stand (pictured) or a Silver Ford Focus bonnet in their stocking this year. It’s amazing how much stuff is listed as ‘Pickup only’. If you find any bargains then don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments.
