Unbelievable FleaBAY Ad ....

[Icarus39]

Check out this joker selling a liferaft on ebay .... make sure you read the description and note the price

Thats some bargain!
Do the mice come with it?

 

[electrosys]

I've heard of rats leaving a sinking ship before now, but never mice !

 

[samwise]

Would anyone in their right mind buy this? The seller must be having a laugh. I would think his 100 per cent satisfaction record must be under threat.

 

[Tommyrot]

Looks expensive for a paddling pool.

 

[tom_sail]

I wonder if he'll let me take it for a test drive?

 

[Malish]

Note that there is no offer to re-pack it!
I suppose it could be worse - the mice could have nibbled through the floor and tubes as well.....

 

[snowleopard]

I notice the top tube is soggy. Is this the one the scrotes let off in the Lakes last week?

Would anyone in their right mind buy this?

Someone somewhere will have a use for it, but not as a working liferaft and not at that price.

Water container, paddling pool, dog-rinsing pond, kids' play-tent, ball-pool, source of gasket rubber, training aid, set-dressing, etc etc etc. But a tenth of that price at most.

If you're daft enough to take that as your 'last, best hope of survival', you probably deserve each other.

Even better FleaBAY ad ...

Here's an even better FleaBay ad .... I emailed the seller and offered to pay his diesel if he could break it up in to rubble and deliver for a new driveway foundation. Quite reasonable I thought

Nothing that a few weekends work wouldn't fix

I love the fact that it's Right hand drive.

I thought they were designed like that
Hey wait a minute .... it's the same seller .. our friend with the mouse nibbled liferaft ! Maybe there's a deal to be had for buying the 2

Why not buy the holed, keel less Bav, and the empty Ferro hull, transplant the mast and interior of the Bav to the Ferro hull, and you have a perfect boat

Cracking idea Dave, the perfect combination between modern cruising interior and a sleek RORC racing concrete hull.

Better still, I found this beauty which could be used as a liveaboard with the mere addition of a matress (it only had a small fire). Could be a good base for the Bav/Ferro project ! Lovely stained glass cabinet doors as the buyer points out

Nope that was in a cylindrical canister.

That's been on Ebay for at least 18 months, maybe a lot more.
Yours might have been the best offer so far!

Well it's probably a better bet than the holy Bav or the empty shell I suppose. Is it just me, or is it completely lacking any side windows in that wheelhouse? Obviously designed for mobo drivers looking straight ahead at all times.
