    Ebay bargain

    My lawnmower died on Sunday, so baulked at the £200 plus for a half decent petrol lawnmower.

    Took a look on Ebay, found a local nearly new self propelled lawnmower for just £50, only used 4 times due to the chap moving to a house with no lawn.

    What is the best bargain you have had?

      The hooker said it was the best time she'd ever had and gave me the money back*

        I got a fully functional 2 channel analogue oscilloscope for £30.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            This is a really sad thread!

            However, as I'm here anyway, best bargain ever was a full set of hardly used Le Creuset pans for £30, because the lady who had them didn't like the colour (and I suspect didn't know what they were really worth). I still grin when I see the individual items advertised for £80 plus.

            It's not changed me though.

              I had left the shotgun polishing shop to pick up my gun, it was really cold so was wearing a balaclava and headed of to the bank to ask about my ISA. Must have been 10000 customer or something as they handed me a bag of free cash.

                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                    a job lot of yellow stock bricks (Buyer collects)

                    advertised as 500 for £50 ended up as 2-3000 which were worth about £3000.

                    Has changed my garden nicely.
