Useful warning notes - or not...

Found this little lot on the 'bay,http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-11-WO...s=63&clkid=4949314180684120184#ht_1166wt_1425

Very amused by the final two comments on the auction

"AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN BUY FOR ONE LUCKY BUYER !!!!!

NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDER 36 MONTHS DUE TO SMALL PARTS"

Could be a bargain but at nearly £35 an item not that convinced it's much of a bargain. But for the life of me I can't see any small parts in that lot. Nevertheless I wouldn't like my toddler to play with them...

Those chisels are made from HSS, a comparatively recent innovation (though I stand to be corrected here) in turning tools. My guess is that they're no more than 10 years old...hardly 'vintage' - Rob

Did you see how much that plane made that someone posted about on here £800+ :shock: and it wasnt even electric :wink: :lol:

I think the seller is a comedian...both in terms of description and optimism.

I hope he gets what he's asking (though I doubt it)....it's fun to see a little light humour in otherwise mundane postings.
