Twenty quid? You've been ripped off mate. Silverback bought one for £15 in the cash converters in High Wycombe. Ha ha! I wonder what mug flogged it to 'em for that!

I've just ordered a bunch of "time". I just hope it will make it to me before I run out :sulkoff:

Cash Converters? Would that be something like a pawn shop?

Kind of, they do pawnbroking but they have other services as well.

The ones I've been generally overprice their goods and don't offer much for the goods they buy. Their loans have horrendous interest rates, they charge too much for cashing cheques. I think they are a rip off and I seldom look inside.

I have to admit I fell for the wind up. At least I won't have to be jealous of your good fortune now.

 

[weaver]

Thanks Rebel! Sounds pretty much like most of the pawn shops here. I look sometimes and have found some great deals on machine shop and measuring tools when they don't know what they have.

i went in for some bags of air for the works compressor, but none.
also some spot welds, they were out of stock.



being a mechanic, i have great fun winding the new wee apprentices up lol.

best one is spark plug gaps, always fall for it.

 

[mikesknives]

It's fairly obvious this is a wind up because if there was a Woodlore in CC it'd be about £750.

 

[dommyracer]

You reckon they'd know the value of a Woodlore knife? I've bought stuff from CC and sold it for a profit on ebay on quite a few occasions.

Round my way we like to call it Crack Convertors.

Do they sell non stick glue

 

[Jedadiah]

Yes, non-stick glue is what i used to manufacture my mosaic pins from filopian tubing, also purchased at that fine establishment for the very reasonable sum of £****. I also got a handful of magic beans there, though they cost me my Bose stereo and first born, but they told me it was worth it!

This thread makes me chuckle

I thought of you (plural) while reading the latest issue of Geographical as there's an article
in there about mountain climbing and the guy was talking about those skyhook things.

And by the way a 'long stand' is the one on the left...

As an ex-chef i have actually had someone fall for the "long stand" i couldn't believe it!

I did get a work experience person to go to the local butchers and ask for "5 pounds of chicken lips"
