Yeah, have to be careful on ebay... ''ECONOMY GRADE'' kind of lets it slip lol............when ever people say they purchased something to use for themselves but now they need to sell ASAP, it always makes me wary on ebay - because it usually translates into one of two things: 1) I got these dead cheap (probably from another ebayer) and now I want to sell them on fast 2) I got these / this item cheap and, surprise surprise, you get what you pay for, this is a load of sh*te and now I want to sell them on fast with no come-backs! Bit negative I know.... could be genuine, but why do they feel the need to repeat the words 'economy grade' 3 times AND mention about colour differences? | ||||||||||

I had a tiler in my shop 3 wks ago who tried to work with 60 x 40 Trav bought on internet, they were too thin to work with and broke just picking them up,luckily they accepted them back,but this may not always be the case.These photos dont exactly show much detail do they!!  | ||

I bought a pallet of 34m of unfilled chiselled edge opus Travertine from a stone seller on ebay..........in the last stages of fitting it in my own place.........not had any problems at all with it. After a disasterous first delivery (Driver dropped it of the back of his wagon) the second delivery was A1......not 1 broken tile as yet......and it is loverly stone  http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...vertine011.jpg | ||||||||||
