We have been selling on E-bay since 2004. Because we are too lazy to get up at 5am on a Sunday moring to take our unwanted goodies to a boot sale we felt E-bay was a far more civilised way of parting with things we did'nt need anymore.

On the plus side this was larger than I expected, and it does look good from a distance. If you are prepared to put in some effort it is salvageable. This is made from MDF and coated in a haphazard application of white paint which is very thin in places. Mine arrived with a mis-shapen roof which I was able to bend back in to place, there was also a bash to the base where the bare MDF showed through. The decorative pieces at an angle at the top are held in by very thin staples and come away easily when pressed. My husband was able to glue and nail the supports back, and we gave it two good coats of Cuprinol to weather-proof it. Probably should have returned it for a refund, but I do like the design, it just needs to be better quality. Not sure how the MDF will survive a British winter, probably best to hang in a sheltered spot.

Easy to install, good quality bird deterrent. We bought it to go on top of our swing set and it has been very effective. The birds aren't so happy, and have now taken up the sport of dropping on the car instead, but at least the kids can play without getting covered in poop.
