Btw rightly or wrongly discussions about price should be kept to PM mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0353203 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 apologies if i have offended anyone. I had no idea what it was worth so just followed a no reserve auction on eBay for one pretty much the same and it sold for £70 plus postage. Before you all tell me where to stick it, I will put it there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not sell straight away at this price but left long enough it would go. I have heard of someone buying one for £90 which is just crazy but there you go.

The Burpster Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The mods and admins debated this at length recently and decided to credit the BC population with sufficient intelligence to work it out that it meant all parts of the description including price - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS73 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Check this thread, I think it's fair, the bridges I pointed out funnily enough sold pretty quickly after I posted, £40 each or so, but now they're gone it's back to normal £100 new.
