The auction was terminated by me as I think the pictures should show the damage to the netting more accurately! I have already taken new pictures however uploading them to a existing auction would prove too time consuming (there are 50 new pictures that I need to add). It was therefore decided the easiest thing to do would be to stop the auction and restart it. Please see the relist link on the top of this auction when I get to relisting it (within a few minutes of this one being ended). Sorry I had to do this but would rather the buyer see the damage clearly and know what they are getting ahead of time, thank you. Also please Note: Although the netting has numerous holes and breaks the lace is still strong! I tugged on it in numerous places and there is no rotting to it. Tugging on the netting did not produce any new damage.*****************PLEASE READ: TOO MANY BIDDERS ARE BIDDING WITHOUT READING! **LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS?
