Kevin,  I'm not too sure what your point is.    Was it bad the price dropped by 150 ytl ?  :-)      I'd have been more peed off if the price had gone up ;-)

If that is your only experience of the shop and that's your "bad experience" , all I can say is I've bought a lot more from them over a number of years and they have bent over backwards to be helpful.   The odd item which has gone faulty was repaired / replaced with no quibble whatsoever.

what I am saying is maybe the 1st price the assistant was trying it on, if that is so it is my bad experience & it is not the 1st time I havebeen in the shop but it was my 1st attempt to buy from Bekir.I went there due to good reports for him on the forum but an experience like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth if it was an attempt to fleece me by the assistant & not Bekir.Maybe Bekir would like to comment on this.

It is not unreasonable to accept that Bekir (as the shop owner) can quote you a better price than one of the assistants. That's why I said deal with Bekir directly.

I do now want to spend an absolute fortune on completing the fit out on my new part furnished apartment in Ovacik, any tips. I need everything from beds to knife and forks. Thanks.

We went round a few places for the main furniture and they varied in price and quality. We wanted it to last and decided not to compromise on quality just because of the price and paid a little bit more for well made wardrobes, settees, chairs, tables and beds that would fit exactly were we wanted (we chose the style,size and colours.
White goods we got from bekirs(erun spot)and beko(opposite side of road)
Small electrical appliances from bekirs
Sun lounges from bekirs
Patio and balcony furniture from migros( maybe in april/may)
Kitchen gadjets, household equipement from migros
Cutlery/plates, tea towels etc from asda and took over
sun lounger/ patio seat covers shop going up the hill to ovacik.

There is also a handy household shop on the way up to ovacik which the locals use and you could save a bit there.

Hope this helps

I will see Bekir himself next time I pass his shop.

I have now replaced all the original Turkish bought sheets etc with stuff bought in the UK. Turkish cotton is all very nice, but is a "dog" to iron & looks dreadful if it's not ironed
