    Well I heard they were hard, strong and with the caps quite shiny. Who doesn't like hard, strong and shiny :)

    Apparently people in the US and UK can ship stuff to the export centre and then the buyer sorts out shipping from there. Or at least that is what I understand about it. Hence the question, I am quite confused

Surely it is illegal for a seller to offer international shipping and then after you win the item, they turn around and say they don't

    Commercial site or Ebay?

    Could be because of ebays new international thing, which you had to opt out of, if they didn't realise then they'd be offering international without realising.

    I haven't paid yet and I won't until they sort out the shipping thing. I guess if they cancel the order, so that I don't pay anything I will let the item pass... It was on ebay. OK so they can cancel the order then?

    No! You can't just go cold turkey on ebay. You won't cope and will end up binge bidding. Cut down gradually ...with support from your friends and family.

    Guessing it isn't really worth it then. Still these speedos are so accurate that it will say 150 when you are really doing way less :P

    It is. I thought we were talking km/h :) The mph values are on the inside. So my clubman speedo goes up to 140km/h or 90mph

Looking at some of the really rusty projects on here, I realise that "scrapped" cars over here can really be saved

    Yeah that is not fun. An open office space should have a good vibe otherwise what's the point

    Possibly cause it hasn't come back again. Hmm one of those weird mini things I guess

    any suggestions?

    dive in with you max bid right at the last seconds, risky and I've left it to late before. bidding as you go just pushes the price up as someone will see it and increase their bid and so on
    Jan 22 2015 10:17 PM
  • Vinay-RS's Photo
    Vinay-RS
    ah, yeah I kind of bidded to my max value early and then it sort of skyrocketed at the end

    I don't know. A mate of mine bought a fancy 100mm speedwell rev counter from the UK. How much do they cost on average?

    should be able to get a good second hand one though for less

    Vinay-RS
    yeah that is a bit pricey... plus when you add shipping and 40% for customs and VAT it becomes unreasonable. Guessing ebay might be a better bet
