I know it's postage *and packing*, but ParcelForce 48 (the cheapest) is like £9.99. Hell, next day by noon is only £13.99. What the hell is he spending the other £15 on? Quote

tauzero Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Dammit, went ten minutes ago. I could definitely have been tempted at that price. Quote

Add wrapping it, wrapping paper, the cost of taking it to the post office, and a few bob for his time. From what he says in the auction, he'd be amenable to other arrangements anyway. Quote
budget bassist Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 damn! that's stupidly cheap! i would have been very tempted to buy that and sell it on for a profit.. Quote
