Lucky Finds!!
« on: June 13, 2014, 12:08:40 PM »
OK I have been after a Bagster for a while after having them on my last two Blackbirds.  Thinking about spending that amount of money, and other FARKLES taking priority, I have had to on the wish list as one of those things to do.  Trawling through 'fleabay' the other day, as you do, and came across a bag and cover (yes both pieces) out of Sydney that was advertised for a meager sum of money, and thought I'll give it a try to see if I can grab it. 

As usual there was somebody testing the waters with small bids every now and then, presumably hoping I wasn't that keen on it.  Well today I have been the lucky winner of a black (bike is wineberry :dred11 - so no dramas there) Bagster tank cover AND expandable bag in near new condition apparently (looks good in photos) for just over $100!!  Definitely worth a lot more than that for sure & NO it's not for sale or giveaway! 

Can't remember the last time something like this went my way - so when was your last decent score of luck and what was it?

Just last week, needed a new toner cartridge for the Laserjet, RRP $114.
Friend said he could pull in some favors and get one for $70
Thought I'd check e-bay.
1 on there for $10 - no other bidders.
Thought I was happy when I picked it up but then the seller goes, "hey you want these other 5 as well"?
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Feels great when you're happy with the deal, and one like this is a steal!!

I don't think any of you could beat this deal. Bought my ST1100 for $300  :thumbs. No, didn't leave any 0s off the cost. Of course it didn't look like this when I bought it. Spent about $2000 and 18mths part time restoring it to this standard.

Goes like the clappers (as my Policeman's Ball Ticket will testify) :'(

Best bargin I ever got. Usually others that win them.

Hobs I think you're right buddy.  Nobody is gonna beat that bargain.  Getting such a STeal on a STellar machine is fantaSTic.   :-++
