Also i forgot to get back to you about that de Stijl spine. I'm going to leave it if you don't mind, I don't think it's worth spending money on it to be honest! Still got it in the cupboard but it's still half complete.  :(

I agree. Make it as new and keep on display in your shop. Never see any decent dc04 de stijls any more.

I hope there van was more packed than that! Long way to come from oireland, pick you guys up, dahn sarf and over to France! I could fit more than that in the back of my car  :coffee:

No, that wasn't the over the water stuff. That was the last few of 40 odd machines we sent the same bloke over to Liverpool to get off a chap this morning.

Where do you source them mvacs? I'm only after a couple to add to my collection.  I've always got my eye open for a dyson but never have any luck. And as for ebay well people are just getting greedy!!! can't seem to get a bargain local to me anymore. :(

People tend to ring us up with job lots; often more than we can handle or take (low on floorspace). Some come from store trade ins and avenues of that nature. House clearance blokes and scrap men drop the odd one in, we get the odd PX. That we have to give strong money for them incentivises people I guess. Gotta pay more if you want more.

I'm after the ones that need a good clean up, even the battered ones are over priced on ebay.

eBay has to be overpriced due to their crippling fees.

Shipping them isn't cheap either, packaging costs us about a fiver each. And now we send with UPS as everyone else seems to smash them up on the way. Why we very seldom sell machines on Fleabay unless they happen to be niche or special interest ones.

We just put some Airblades on there. Boy do the eBay/Paypal fees on those mount up.......
