Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

What's the problem with the 785s? I've got some of those, although I haven't used them yet.

Don’t know if updated, many found to have calliper leaks.

Both mine did, my wife’s been fine - I swapped for the £13 calliper Shimano do and no issues in 2 years now!

I know this is ebay but if this is right its a good deal.
Makita Impact Driver - £30

Cheapest I can find online is £60 for body only. This one mentions '...with 1 x 3Ah Battery Charger & Mak Case'

I ordered one. I'll let you know if I get ripped off.

From China, fake maybe? Either way you may need to pay import tax and fees at around £15.

I'm leaning more towards grey market than fake but who knows. Even with import duties its not a bad deal, plus the chance that I won't have to pay them (bought plenty of items before and only mobile phones and bike wheels have been stopped).

Either way I was looking for a cheap tool so would've ended up with something similar if not. As long as it works. Plus ebay's buyer protection is pretty good.

Thanks for the link, ordered one so yeah we'll see when it arrives I suppose!

Ordered too, been doing a raft of home improvements lately and have seen the paid help using these frequently so was looking for one; fingers crossed and cheers for heads up

Same reason I've lusted after them. Tradies bloody love them.

Also purchased. For £30 it's gotta be worth a punt. I've had a new drill on my wishlist for a while, and had been planning to spend a decent bit more on a less good drill. Thanks for the link!

You know it's not a drill right?

I had not realised that, nope ....

Whoops! Thanks for the heads up - I'll admit I did have to google what the difference was. I definitely want a drill driver for the flexibility. I'll keep looking!

Seller hasn't had any activity in a year, then in the past month there is a surge of buyers (all with feedback count <10) for this 29.99 stuff...

Superstar

Let's hope you don't need to send them back because their customer service is terrible.

As I say not too concerned as eBay buyer protection pretty good.

Superstar or PX? /trollface

I got them to send me out a new headset after claiming they sent the wrong one, I think I may have ordered the wrong one, made them send it next day so I could ride with a promise to send the other back, that never happened.

I have one of these and they’re very handy. Ad detail indicates pre-owned in contrast to pics that give the impression of new.
Would be very tempted if genuine.

Really? Can't see where it mentions that. Can you highlight it please?

shimano rp9 shoes are -50% at rutland cycling, lots of sizes left

Mine are still working fine.

In the review section although that might be referring to a different item.

Thanks. I think thats the same item but from a different seller. Its essentially someone else saying they like the product.

Dispatch has occured, guess yours and the few others on here have received notification too - will it be be a straightforward transaction or an epic saga involving plot twists and unlikely outcomes galore akin to the one and only MarcosCavendish 'this bike is mine' thread?

Looks decidedly like this Makita grinder I tried to buy about 6 months ago. Tracking showed it being put on a plane in China but it never seemed to land in the UK.

@Sam_w bought a Makita circular saw from the same seller I think and t was the same story.

I had to phone Paypal to get a refund but they processed it quickly enough once I did.

Infact its the same seller innit?

Yeah yous are all getting hee haw.
