Wow! What a bargain. You jammy s…….. |
| Angel Barracks | 15 May 2010 7:39 a.m. PST |
I am pleased and annoyed, I would love a desk like that. |

Normally I hate shopping with my wife -- sales in particular. But . . . that desk is better than the best thing! Way to go! mjc |
| mweaver | 15 May 2010 8:38 a.m. PST |
That's a really handsome desk. Not a bad price, either! |

What angelbarracks said. Although to be honest, I don't think we could fit it anywhere in the house anymore… I just hate to shop. But did you find a nice birthday present for your wife? |
| Gallowglass | 15 May 2010 9:10 a.m. PST |
Outstanding find. Jammy bastard ;-) |
| olicana | 15 May 2010 9:19 a.m. PST |
Hi Neotacha, No, the jewelry had gone for wholesale. I did pick up a couple of designer pens – £150.00 GBP worth for £60.00 GBP cash. That's both dads sorted for Christmas! |

Every time you sit at that desk, you'll glance down at it, and this happy thought will pop in your head: "This beauty cost me just ten pounds!" And anything you do at it will therefore be so much the better— even if you're doing taxes. Well, maybe not that…

only a tenner? that looks cheap as chips to me… :) |
| wyeayeman | 15 May 2010 10:07 a.m. PST |
is it still on? and where! |
| ashill | 15 May 2010 10:24 a.m. PST |
If it doesn't work out for painting you can ebay it and get way more than you paid. I'd give you £20.00 GBP for it – I know, I know ROFLOL! |

too nice for a paint desk … |

He shoots, he scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicely done James. |

Pretty impressive haul! Rick |
| ordinarybass | 15 May 2010 1:37 p.m. PST |
That is gorgeous. Suddenly the Ikea surface I paint at doesn't seem so nice… Looks like the desks really are keener on the other side of the pond. |
| galvinm | 15 May 2010 1:49 p.m. PST |
No way, not for 10? you lucky son of a gun. |
| Regrebnelle | 15 May 2010 1:55 p.m. PST |
That is a Score with a big capital "S". Almost too nice for painting. I think I would get distracted just sitting back and admiring that. Mark |
| Andrew May1 | 15 May 2010 2:12 p.m. PST |
Nice one! As a Yorkshireman that tenner must have been tough to part with!  |
| Fat Wally | 15 May 2010 2:26 p.m. PST |
Bargain. With luck like that you should do the lottery chum. |
| Spectacle | 15 May 2010 5:05 p.m. PST |
Lovely desk, would have been a bargain at 10 times what you paid for it! :) |
| Mulopwepaul | 15 May 2010 5:13 p.m. PST |
Well played, old sock, well played… |

Good stuff and great find! My wife used to like poking aroubnd the second hand stores and came back once all excited to say she'd found a great desk for me. Not nearly as nice as Olicana's find, but still very nice and solid and fairly old, too.

Did you try to haggle him down from 10? A true Yorkshireman would! Incidentally my wife said how come I never come home with something nice when I go out for glue – I usually come home with more lead. |
| Skeptic | 15 May 2010 8:48 p.m. PST |
Nice one! How did you get it home? |
| bandit86 | 15 May 2010 9:44 p.m. PST |
Very nice…but did you get the glue? :) |
| olicana | 16 May 2010 2:33 a.m. PST |
Hi Skeptic, I don't drive. So being a true Yorkshireman, I dismantled it in the shop and carried it home! Fortunately the shop is only 500 yards from where I live. It took five trips. |

Cool score. My sister has my uncle's that I painted on for seveal years after he died.
too nice for a paint desk … The glass top is what makes it so neat. Dried up drips scrapr right off. |
 mmitchell | 16 May 2010 4:20 a.m. PST |
That is a SERIOUS score! Well done, man. Well done! |
| Syrinx0 | 16 May 2010 6:01 p.m. PST |
Nice find. I think you owe your wife a pint for making you go in. |
