won by someone with 8 feedback who's been in since 9 grand. Smells of shill bidding gone wrong.

Wonder what he bought the workshop contents for.

why so suspicious? I sold my canal boat for £23k and the buyer was a first time bidder with no feedback, gotta start somewhere;)

I just missed out.
Never mind i'm going to Lidl tomorrow they've got spanners for £1.99.

im not into snap on
but if i was i would still buy my gear as i needed it
to buy that lot is just a look at me i can afford it
because lets be honest you add to your tools because you are stuck on the last job
so buying all that achieves nothing but shiny shiny because you would never know what you really had

I'd guess someone buying that lot is going to split it up and turn a profit on it

I got a few bits of snap-on but i think its over rated and over priced, most of my stuff is old britool,kingdick,kamasa,draper and halfords and never had a problem

Exactly the same brands in my toolbox & Elora

A spanner is a spanner and all will last a lifetime unless they have moving parts like a ratchet. Then you can buy quality or lifetime replacement like Halfords -
EDIT big error here the Halfords guarantee does not cover moving parts so ratchets not covered, must take a look next time in Halfords to see if this clause is mentioned on the instore notices otherwise it would be unenforceable.
as long as you photocopy and keep the receipt !!! because their receipts fade to blank after 2 years and they won't replace without a reciept even though it says Halfords on the handle! I wonder if I might be able to challenge that with written complaints/threats of legal action hmmm :think: I got quite a few broken things from Halfords.

Can you imagine the fees. Ugh...

Final value fee would have been £34.78
Free listing fee as it started at 99p

No Paypal fees as cash on collection (Paypal would have been £1324.25 though!)

But you can't refuse a paypal payment

wakes up this morning to a message:-

hi my friend,

I am the winning bidder

can you ship items to my church in Lagos where we will fix tractors to help the poor. I will send you a bankers draft or transfer by western union for £40,000 to cover the shipping
