    I bet there is. It doesn't say that it's £25 + VAT either, so it may be added after the initial checkout.
    Can I help?
  • Nope , no postage .

    Check the homepage where it`s £29.37 all inclusive http://www.valutech.co.uk/default.asp/pages/p.8969/ecombuilder.html

    Hello I know that it was returned and refurbished goods, but are they still worth buying? What if they break down in 4 months time when the warranty runs out? I would like to but a cheap portable dvd player and this has answered my prayers...but I'm just worried that it wouln'd last that long though....

    I'm glad to stand corrected. Looks like great value!

    I posted about cheap dvd players from Valutech before Christmas, and we bought 4 for Christmas for the children, they have been brilliant, an end to arguments in the car! Though we won't let them use the remote controls in the car, otherwise they'd be changing each others settings constantly.

    We have had no problems, and Valutech were really fast with their delivery. The four that we received had no obvious faults or scratches that we could see, apparently refurbished also includes items that are returned as they were bought in error, or someone changed their mind, as well as items that actually had a problem. Several friends also purchased these for Christmas, and out of about 20 units, only one had a light scratch and this polished out with a duster and a light rub!

    So I can thoroughly recommend this company. :D

    Can these be played through a car adaptor? Either with an attachment included or not included... ?

    Any idea on battery life?

    Ours didn't include a car adaptor kit, but we just use our own adaptor that converts the rear lighter socket plug into a normal 3 pin plug, into this we plug a 4 way surge adaptor, and then all four children can plug and play!

    No idea on battery life, but the people at Valutech are really helpful if you ring them up.

    I take it you don't drive a Mini! Be a bit careful of the current going through that circuit though - I'd check what else hangs on the same fuse.

  • we have one of these brought for 35 quid last year and no problems with it.

    Thanks.
