buyer beware

I went looking on kijiji for patio door curtains yesterday. I may have mentioned that our simple paint job turned into a gut-half-the-house reno project, so if I can find curtains for a little less cash, that'd be great.



Found a pair that I thought might be a possibility. Only slightly used, in a non-smoking, no-pets home. There was a very thorough description, including the Ikea brand name, and a picture. Price - $30. Not bad, right?



Except when I looked on the Ikea website, those very same curtains - new, mind you - were $29.95.
