    Ill give £50,000 for 10%, I'm sure 'Raysalis' or his/her mate can stump up the rest. Have we a deal? ;)

    OOooh I don't know - can I have a minute to think about it? Raysalis will probably want 10% as well, and that's more than I was prepared to give away

    i selected the "£50 - £60" option, as i've just splashed out on a new laptop charger for my 3 year old macbook pro...

    seem to be less then £30 from the uk and £18 from Asia via ebay, both include p&p. You must have been desperate, or I've done the wrong ebay search:confused:
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)

    but, the problem with ebay, is the quality.... how many fake products are around, and is the charger actually a real official one.

    i have bought things that have been "brand name" and when it's arrived, it's been a fake..

    also, i wanted brand new, which again ebay might not be the best place...

    hmmm... I suppose so... but I'm sure Raysalis and I have more inventions awaiting us down the steps, so you'd better be quick!

    All you'll find down the steps is Evan Davies I'm afraid

    I accidentally dropped my Dell charger on the floor recently, so had to get a new one. I ended up paying £30ish for a genuine new one from a website.

    Probably have eventually got it cheaper off ebay or something but I had university essays to complete that week so needed to straight away.

    Definitely wouldn't pay over £40 for a glorified battery charger!
