Do an ebay search for this

180481979298

It has ended and didn't get any bites. It began at £350. Too dear for an unknown quantity if you ask me.

It has not been re-listed. You could contact the seller and make an offer then you can see it before parting with any money. The pictures are not good, if the seller had cleaned it they may have got a better response.

I would start at £250 and see how it goes.

It is in Slough, J2 M40.

Hi

Yes i have sent the seller an email but he/she has not replied and it has now been relisted, i think this is the third time it has been relisted.

I just think its rude he hasnt bothered to reply.

Thanks for the help though guys i appreciate it.

 

[Richard D]

Yup, I've been watching that one each time that it's been listed. I think that we've now established that £350 is too much! I might pay that much for something that includes little or no travel, though.

 

[MickCheese]

It's a shame that the seller has not fathomed out that £350 is too much.

If they took better pictures and cleaned it up it would look so much better.

Apparently £336 is about the right price. I wonder if Mr. Perpetual Re-lister will get the message?

 

[big soft moose]

I dont think 350 is all that bad - i paid a bit less for eds saw but not much , but then again a saw bought from ed is a known quantity which might not be true of one from a radomn stranger on ebay.

btw on top of ebay is worth keeping an eye on dealers like tewksbury saw - i missed out on a 419 from them shortly before i bought eds.

 

[Richard D]

It looks like the "right" price was £360. I was napping at the ending time. Oh well, back to trawling e-bay and waiting for the next one.

 

[MickCheese]

£350 was about right but I thought too much to start and it needed better presentation, but I was wrong it went for £360 so his perseverance paid off.

I think he may have got more with a slightly lower starting price and better presentation.

Not much use to anyone south of the Highlands, but there is a brand new Kity 619 (a bigger version of the 419) for sale at the quarterly machinery auction in Inverurie tomorrow! It's single phase, and looks perfect, even has the instructions taped to it.
There's some other quite useful kit there, in case anyone is near enough to get to Inverurie for 9:0am. But please don't bid against the guy in the green hat for the Axy dust extractor

For interest, the Kity made £650, which sounded not to bad to me. Needn't have worried about staying to bid on the DE - the first bid was more than Axy's retail price, and it finally went for about £60 more than that. Even the vendor was slightly embarrassed.

 

[Richard D]

I'm watching another 419 auction now. The auction end time is a touch inconvenient, and the location is typically just that little bit further from me than I actually want to travel, but I'll have to wait and see.

 

[would not]

I had to travel up to Glasgow for mine from Staffordshire but I got if for £325 but got a few jigs and two blades with it and it was in very good condition.

if you wanted something a bit bigger there is a very nice startrite on ebay in willenhall west midlands

Richard D you have a PM

[Richard D]

Thanks loads, Steve. I'll check it out.

BSM - I *seriously* considered it. Especially as it went for what looked to me to be a low price for something like that. Just two drawbacks - firstly it was a 3-phase machine, which I could work around, but it would be an inconvenience. Secondly - and more importantly - it was just too big! I've very little free space in my garage as it is - the car has to live there most of the time, so any machinery has to be stored at the back and wheeled forward when I want to use it. The 419 is nice and small, and I can find space for it; that Startrite was too big *and* too immobile. Still, someone got a decent bit of kit out of that auction.

text book error - if cars werent meant to live outside they wouldnt be waterproof that idea was floated here as we have towo cars and only parking for one, but i put my foot down and have now created second car parking on what was the front lawn.

 

[Richard D]

Maybe, but it's something my insurance company rather expects (it's a rather nickable car I drive). Plus of course as it's garaged I can get in and out in the pouring rain and stay dry, and never have to chip ice off the windscreen. On balance, I rather prefer garaging it every night.

Of course we're only having this discussion because of a bone-headed planning officer; I'd *wanted* to build a double garage, but they said "no". Since then, they've said "yes" to at least two other double garages within 100 yards. I hate planning officers.

The space behind the garage in my garden is occupied by two small sheds. As soon as I decide that one of them is no longer required (or has rotted away; it's going to be a close-run thing as to which happens first), the surviving shed will be moved and a small outdoor workshop put up in it's place.

.

even if you had a two car garage there still woulnt be enough space - theres never "enough" space in a workshop

that said you could probably get PP to extend your garage now that neighbours have set a precedent , and a two car garage makes a great 'shop - particularly if you leave the car outside

 

[Richard D]

Nah - it's pretty much impossible to extend now - firstly because they turn down applications for PP for new-build properties pretty much as a matter of course, and secondly it'd ruin the lines of the house to add something on the front or back. And going sideways would require me to buy my neighbours' garden. Neighbours who have spent the morning hammering nails into *my* wall, as it happens. Th will be grief if they've compromised my DPC (which is entirely possible, given that the properties are on slightly different levels).

But you're right about workshop space. I look at Norm's and turn green with envy.

...it's a rather nickable car I drive...

If it's a Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin, Benters or a Rolls...fair enough, keep it in a centrally heated garage and give it a cuddle before you go to bed :lol:
