Il Grifone Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Sorry I'm not with you both, has this guy got some kind of a reputation thingy going|? Yes for exorbitant prices (and often for cr@p). Cartmel is another one. EDIT. Sorry I see I've been beaten to it (again).

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted October 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2012 Not that I ever any faith in the phrase "Professionally Weathered" but this really is pushing it............. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2323f17ef1 Perhaps they should be asked "by whom?". Then that might give credence to the term 'professionally..." If I had paid money to a professional for work like that, I'd want my money back. This is good light weathering done by CK of this parish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 27, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Everybody's having a go at poor old Gostude (&Cartmel)! I just think he/she is a very shrewed businessman who makes a living selling piles of tat collectables to those who are gullible looking for them. It's capitalism after all. He's probably reading RMWeb and laughing all the way to the bank Keith Edited October 27, 2012 by melmerby 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penrhos1920 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I can't believe the price a pair of Andersley JSA Covered Telescopic hoods have just gone for. This one was £51: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Andersley-JSA-Covered-Telescopic-Steel-Carrying-Wagon-Kit-New-Unopened-/321006343129?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=qDIZ0bqiOnIz5C%2FySdG8BIoOPBQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc and the second one went for £50. Now that's what I call madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably reading RMWeb and laughing all the way to the bank Keith I have to agree with you, I am sure he easily manages to pay his mortgage each month on the proceeds of the sales.

He's probably reading RMWeb and laughing all the way to the bank Keith Gostude has often had things I'd like, but at prices I won't pay, so he gets me as a 'watcher' but never a bidder. He does seem to sell them though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
