    I've got a TFT monitor for sale on ebay, and never really thought of how im going to get it to the buyer, providing it sells. I have considered someone like ParcelForce with a 48 hour delivery. How would I go about arranging this? Would they come to my house to collect it? Or do I have to take it to a depot or something?</p>

    Clueless, absolutely clueless (seestars) always taken things to the post office in the past, but this is probably too big for that.</p>

    Well, I did initially put £12.50 down (just a figure I plucked from mid-air) then I went onto ParcelFarce website and keyed in some rough details - it came back with a quote of £15. So i've now upped it to £16.50.

    15 quid and insurance.
    Wrap the entire monitor in bubble wrap. then pack the box with old card newspaper etc.
    If it breaks and you have to claim from parcel force they will argue it wasnt packed right

    I have set a reserve price of £50, but I was looking for nearer £70. If you do want it though, if you can collect it, you can have it for £50 straight up, and i'll remove it from ebay.
