These are complete with mattresses (fire resistant and EU British standard approved).
We are asking: €120,00 per set (the beds, ladder, safety rail and the two mattresses).

A Land Rover Discovery (2 series) 2.5 Diesel, 1996, in dark blue.
Good condition, never used off-road and well looked after.
It has a roof rack, stereo c.d., twin sunroofs, towbar, and has had (including us) two owners.
It was bought for €12,000, we are asking €4,500 (we want a quick sale).

Both vehicles are Italian registered, left hand drive and have their revision (MOT) in place. In both cases, the buyer is responsible for name/ownership change and road tax.

Building for sale
We also have a large timber and steel building for sale.
This has an area of 128 square metres, it is 4 metres high on one side and 3.5 mts high on the other (sloping roof), and is beautiful (it was used as our meditation and martial arts hall). It was built in a modular fashion and is simply dis-assembled and moved. It is complete with an insulated aluminium roof (with guttering) and is completely insulated. It has a timber flooring, and the walls (exterior and interior) are in tongue and groove.

Now, I am not complaining, I don’t request anything is done by mods and I do wish Nicky all the very best of luck for the future but…….

Someone please explain how one person ‘biging up’ their area of Italy and listing all the good things there could be interpreted as advertising but nothing is said about this?

[Penny]

I've asked a fews times to see if IM would resurrect the "for sale board" but no response.

There used to be one many years ago and it is hardly taking revenue away from the magazine but would be very useful.

Perhaps one of the Mod.s would like to put the question to IM? Do they have more clout?

[Moxie]

Please Please Please can we have a 'legal' for sale section?
We beg you Big Guns

[Angie and Robert]

Oh, so what, why not give Nicky a chance, I have met her and she is a lovely woman, and they are returning to the UK under sad circumstances, it never occured to me to think of this as advertising, just trying to make the best of things, can we not be more generous, think about it it could be anyone of us one day.

I also agree. Let's have a for sale section, for all of us whether we're lovely or not!
A rigorously policed weeding out of dastardly shopkeepers, car boot type folk and businesses who should be paying to advertise would obviously be necessary. It would be in all of our interests for this to happen. I'm sure that we're all very aware that it's thanks to advertising revenue that Italy Mag has this forum available for us to enjoy and learn from.
Please Mr and Mrs Moderator. I wanna sell stuff without being called lovely.

I wish a separate thread had been started.

Russ, you've been a member for years. You surely remember when most of the posts were advertorials or were signed off with "Agriturismo palle luxury retreat, swimming pool, jacuzzi, nice place for a relaxing holiday" etc. It was all of that that sent me away from the forum and the lack of it that brought me back.

[Russ]

Same reason as before
