£180 Off a Stainess Steel 13.5KW Patio Heater....Only £69.99!!!

I have ordered 2 of these and they are fantastic......I honestly dont think I could get another deal like this........Let me know what you think

It would make an excellent Xmas present for someone....espcially if they think you spent around £200 on them ;)

    Excellent price, but I'm asuming these would be very expensive (not to mention 'un-green') to run?
    I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!
  • This company has been selling stuff on ebay for a while. They make up "The Was" and "RRP" prices. However their feedback is good so you should be ok.

    RRP is always something to regard with great suspicion. Be very careful before you let it persuade you that you are in for a bargain. It is the route to knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing.

    Clasics: yes, very expensive and un-green to run. I'd only give one as a Christmas present to someone I didn't like.:D

    13.5kw!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is terrible - what a waste of energy and damage to the environment. I know we could all do more but this is the equivilent of having an 8 litre engine to drive 200 yds. Its a direct waste of resources - they should be taxed

    I think the OP is just trying to make people aware of the price of the heater if you wish to purchase, not how friendly they are to the environment which should/could be taken off line or onto another thread.

    The trouble is that then no-one will be warned off a purchase because they do not appreciate the consequences. All too easily in this forum people rush out to buy things just because they are discounted, without thinking properly about them. Buying this is not really a moneysaving idea!

    I agree with you, but all I was saying is the OP isn't advertsing it as a moneysaving idea, just a piece of garden furniture at a good price.
    It is up to people reading this thread to consider the implications of running the heater and its effect to the environment etc....
