This Devil has taken me Over

I have say that it amazes me when peeps pay more for an Ebay item than they would pay through a normal retail outlet - I guess bidding fever replaces a few brain cells. I missed out on an Airsail Auster kit earlier this year - my bid of £65 was topped by £2 - felt a bit miffed but I wouldn't have gone much further and I'll never know what the winner was prepared to pay.....

I have bought quite a lot off ebay and gain a lot of pleasure restoring a engine/model with a little bit of TLC.
 
I do set myself a limit and often put in a silly offer which sometime works.  Get amused by those who pay more than you can buy at the LMS and also those that set a minimum value at about the retail value for a second hand item and wonder why they get no bids
 
Recently bought a Banchee for £10, with motor, which is an absolute bargain.  Unfortunately as I do not have all the electrics its going to add about £90 to cost, although charger etc are a once off purchase.  Really looking forward to getting this flying

My guess,  £64.32. 
 
Yes I know it's a rather precise and odd figure,  but that's also the way I bid on eBay!  I'd never bid £10 for something,  but I'd make it something like £10.11 - so I'd beat the other bidder who only £10,  or indeed the other person who has a similar idea to me and bids £10.01.  Sometimes works!
