Then it went for £157 when a new one is only £164 when machine mart are doing the vat free offer. What is the point!!!

I'm not bitter but you've got to wonder what people are on! Good for the seller though!

I can often find things cheaper elsewhere now. If it's car parts often my local breakers yards or auto factors have it cheaper.

Same on the liquidation auctions too. Ive bid on a few things early and theyve ended up at really silly prices especially as its always untested. Only time Ive won anything was on complete punts and it still wasnt what Id call a bargain.
Whats really daft is that its now a better bet that youll find new stuff at bargain prices on there (quality be damned!).

Its the same with books, I remember bidding on a book that went for more than its sold on Amazon!
I guess people get sucked into the bidding and wanting to win. Still, it doesn't take long to do some research before bidding.

On your original engine hoist auction ....have you looked at the £110 ones? I got one a couple of years ago and it's not a bad bit of kit?

Was bidding on a rough looking second hand spot welder locally. The kind you can buy new from machine mart when they have a vat free evening for £429
Bidding went up to £390
I know which I'd rather have... Oh and I know I'll get most of the money back when I come to sell it!!!
