agentpineapple · Post by **agentpineapple** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 10:01 pm

as the title suggests,after reading about lloyds recent bargain, i was wondering what have been your best bargain. thru ebay/the forum/ gumtree.....
i think mine was, 3 pieces of bodywork, tail fairing/moriwaki style bellypan and a slightly worse for wear undertray.
bought for Â£57.50 including postage.
i reckon they could have fetched the best part of a Â£100 sold via auction instead of buy it now, there loss is my gain i suppose, having been shafted twice for Â£100 each time on ebay, i deserved a little bit of luck......

so who else has nabbed a bargain?

The best bargain I ever got, though at the time I thought I'd been shafted, was for a Apple Mac sonnet processor upgrade for Â£300 through ebay.

Bought it plugged it in and it didn't work, asked the guy for refund but he was young & stoopid and ignored me, so got my money refunded through paypal protection. Then with a bit of research found that the manufacturer offered a warranty so shipped the knackered processor back to the States for a new working one effectively for the price of P&P - this was an option the original seller had overlooked to my advantage.

i had that with a old p4 (when they were new lol)
the clip that clips the cpu on the heatsink had come away and i rang to see if they could send me a new clip....
i was bothered that the processor may have got too hot so they sent me a new processor, heatsink / cooler (one of them ice jobbies it was), fans, heat paste etc, the lot, no questions asked and didnt even want the old ones back!!!

to be honest, i bought a full big bore titanium exhaust earlier this year and i'm very happy with it, it cost me Â£295 tho, but it weighs f-all.
the only thing i wish was that it was high level, but you can't have everything............

undamaged petrol tank for Â£10 from a breaker

he was so gutted when I picked it up that I bought a load of other little odds and sods out of guilt

Also my little monkey bike 250miles on it, less than 2 years old and had lived in a motorhome - Â£450 and just as much fun to ride as the Storm

Probably the SP2 engine I just bought for Â£77 delivered.

Wonder if they'll actually go through with it?

Just a frame, forks, some wheels, and a few bolts needed and I'll have one for less than Â£200, which was my budget, this side of Christmas.
