It went a bit like this really Pedro. Listed them on here, Maggotdrowning and Talkangling as a pair. Had a little interest but nothing solid. After a week I split them and knocked a ton off the price over both poles. It was at that point I got more interest but again nothing solid. So I then stuck them both on ebay. I used http://ecal.altervista.org/en/fee_calcu ... bay.co.uk/ to get an idea of the fees I would pay. I listed the MT5 at a starting bid of 440 and the 88 at 600 starting bid. Within 2 days they both had 50 odd watchers.

Comically a couple of days after them being listed I had a chap from Stafford phone me about the 88. He had seen the advert on Maggotdrowning and was dead keen. That same day he came and collected it at the asking price.
Whilst this was going on I had been in regular contact with a chap on Talkangling and he was keen on the 88 also. Unfortunately he missed out on it because of the other guy swooping in and turned his attention to the MT5 which he collected tonight. I just pulled both the auctions off ebay then and left it at that.

If you are still looking to sell your 88 Pedro I think there will still be interest on the forums, you just have to push it a little. I know while you were looking for a little more money than me yours does have a lot more spares. Get some pictures up and a good description and keep bumping the threads. If you get stuck or want a little help drop me a PM.

I now have to choose whether to get a Torny pro or Airity.....its not an easy choice Image
