Before bidding on eBay for what looks very attractive:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13874&item=6100961373&rd=1

They checked out Axminster's same product:
http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=421004

Then they wouldn't have been the one's that gets born every minute.

Cheers,
Barry

Mad isn't it. When the auction was first mentioned on here, I said I couldn't believe he had quoted the retail in his auction description. Even giving the £71 price, its gone that close, and the shipping is bound to add even more. Still think it would be over retail if he hadn't mentioned the Axminster price in the description.

I actually clicked through on the link this time, and I see what you mean - he must be quoting an old axminster price. Oh well, may be they're like Stanleys, the old ones are the best and all that.
