It has been mentioned couple of days back....

Good start price but unfortunately it can't be snapped up on an auction - would need to be a BIN for that.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of watchers and a fair few bids on it by the time it finishes.

Bet it goes for a lot more than that!

Well, there will be now.

[Brent]

Well, there will be now.

Yes, someone posted it on here a couple of days ago as well, so there'll be twice as many watchers now I would bet it was far from unnoticed even before the first time it was posted on here.

Very little with a decent start price gets through to a finish on eBay without being noticed anyway.

[Brent]

Well, I stand corrected !

Someone got a MASSIVE bargain!

Well done if it was someone on here

[Vince1963]

Well!!!, it went for the start price of £250.... Great bargain, Glad i wasn't selling mine and it went for that price, I'd be gutted..

[lukebl]

I stand corrected too! So maybe bargains CAN be had on EBay after all.

Can't believe I missed that I'm buying a motor drive for my Sw 150 and that's gonna be £100 I would have just upgraded and bought that :-(

[Vince1963]

Hard luck Mikey32shaw... I know exactly what you mean, I bought my duel axis motors for mine, I put the link up here as soon as i saw it, thought it would help someone on here. I felt sorry for the guy selling it, I bet he was disappointed

That was very cheap. I think eBay prices have been down for a while. I know a few high quality items I have sold have got nowhere near my target price despite careful listing & having the auction end at the best possible time of 20.30 on a Sunday.

Maybe all the talk of terrible weather on here and other forums is putting would be beginners off?

I know that if I was just starting out now I'd probably just buy some bins and see what the weather was like a year or so down the line before committing to bigger expenditure.

No sense to Ebay, I was bidding on a as new EQ5 mount which went up to new price.

Bought my EQ5 off FLO instead.

Then I could have waited, but getting outbid every time just wastes possible viewing time, at some point you have to buy the gear or miss clear skies.

Fortunately the EQ5 mount is a long term purchase.

I am as surprised as you are at the price of that Ebay auction, a real bargain.
