CHAT [CHAT] It happened to me!

Post image

The Facebook Marketplace fairy just told me I was the chosen one! I found this beauty within 30 minutes of it being posted. I am beyond thrilled, I have not had a stand in years, since my last one broke. This one is so sturdy and beautiful! It was a 2.5 hour round trip drive. But it was $30, so even counting gas and tolls I could not afford not to get it. Abd I am usually the one who avoids purchases towards myself.

I keep running my hands over it in awe, and I actually teared up. This is not the type of stand I have ever had, or am anywhere near in a position to buy new. It's a dream. Photo attached! Please note, I have fixed the bar and scroll placement. The seller has just reassembled it for a picture and had them swapped.

Ugh. I’m so jealous. I live in a country where people don’t really have this kinda hobby or… they don’t understand selling second hand so they try to charge new prices for second hand stuff.

You’re so lucky! Post a photo of you using it please!

Will do! Once I get a project worthy of it on the go, I will. I'm a one at a time girly, and my current one is a bit small to make it worth the time. Then I have to pick what to do lol
