Dan.gerous 2,696 #1 Posted July 2, 2020 Was browsing eBay the other day and came across these nice wheels with brand new tyres from a commando 8. Threw the minimum bid on, sorted out potential couriers then sat back waiting for the price to go crazy. Nobody else bid, and now they are mine for less than the tyres would cost - result! 4 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,274 #4 Posted July 2, 2020 Well done sir!!! 6 hours ago, Pollack Pete said: Nice.I guess there's still a bargain once in a while in today's crazy world. Couple weeks ago I was perusing the fleabays for (I can't remember now) and I found a DeWalt drill bit set for about 10.50 plus freight. ($25 set) I set my max at about 17 or 18 figuring if I get it great, if not no worries... No one else bid so I got em for 17 or so shipping included. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan.gerous 2,696 #15 Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Luckily I managed to change the pictures on Facebook before anybody noticed. I also managed to not let our 72 year old farm hand see it before changing back. He would have been merciless! Edited July 17, 2020 by Dan.gerous 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
