Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Damn, now youve pointed that out I've completely gone off the idea of resurecting this one!

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Here’s an Elford that doesn’t look like it’s been used as a speed bump for a tank driving experience.
Not sure if it’s been spotted and posted before.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Now sold for £2000 despite the asking price of £2500. I emailed the guy telling him I was very interested and coudl we have a call to discuss and didn't even get an email back or an opportunity to offer closer to, or indeed the full asking price. I guess he was after a quick sale, but really, why throw away £500 for the sake of one quick phone call!glow-worm wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 8:24 pm Here’s an Elford that doesn’t look like it’s been used as a speed bump for a tank driving experience.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Rare things going quick and nobody needing timewaster. Seller with fair price just need money not an oportunity to offer or discuss. I am always surprised how much diskus about 30 euro + tracking so i loose my encourage and trow away the parts and save time and money.ChrisR wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 4:53 pm Now sold for £2000 despite the asking price of £2500.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
I agree. A genuine seller and possibly overwhelmed with the response happy to get a fair price (to him). It's always sorento lose out though when your involved.spirit r wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 4:21 pmRare things going quick and nobody needing timewaster.

I had a similar experience when selling a kayak...
Chin up Chris. Perhaps it happened for a reason.

I'm embarrassed to admit I've thrown away parts after having my time wasted too many times.spirit r wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 4:21 pmRare things going quick and nobody needing timewaster.

Sometimes its just not worth the hassle to sell.
