The 'Bargains' thread
« on: January 03, 2016, 01:00:50 pm »
This thread shall henceforth be where we put the links to the 'F*ck me what were they thinking' for sale ads I'm sure we all see and laugh at!

Mainly because I've just seen this 'bargain' local to me...

A - This has been built by someone at some point, they didn't do a Blue clutched DC04 did they? (does look quite smart)
B - £30!?!?

That's the silver/turquoise DC07 All Floors footplate. It doesn't look so obvious in the photos but I bet close up the turquoise looks quite different to the DC04 light blue

What Russ said.  :icon_nod:

We have built those in the past though - they are passable.

I'd pay £8-10 MAX for that! Crevice tool is from an 05, ugly cable and plug too.

I would only pay that much for a nice mint DC25 with all tools and clean
