Aargh! Gained a kilo!

[Mark Parrott]

Had a look at my scales. Because the top plate has broken away from the base, there is no electrical contact between the top & bottom. I tried holding it down, but no luck. I think a new set of scales is in order.

I have a set of these - don't forget also that you can claim back VAT on these sorts of things - I wrote a post about reclaiming VAT from Amazon, will dig it out.

Mine are the bigger bbrother/sister to those @Northerner . These: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Omron-BF51...1472481627&sr=8-1&keywords=omron+scales+bf511


@Mark Parrott : I know you like a deal, so these might be worth a punt? You never know, bearing in mind where I think you are, you might even be able to save another £9 by picking them up, and save the seller the hassle of boxing them up?

I might be inclined to make him an offer right now, in the hope he might close the auction early. There's just overer a day to go and no bids thus far.

Bargain!

Thanks, AndBreathe. Looks amazing! I've contacted him with an offer, just waiting for reply.🙂

Fingers crossed for you. I have them on watch, just out of curiosity, but I promise I won't bid at the last minute!

Do you use a sniper programme, like Ezsniper? It works pretty well. 🙂

I clicked on the link fully expecting one of these:

I was convinced your text was just there to lure AndBreathe into a false sense of security. Teehee

 

[AndBreathe]

Well? Well? Did you win that one @Mark Parrott ? If you did that was a stonking price! I think the last Used ones I saw go on eBay went for over £30.

I want to know too!

 

[Mark Parrott]

No, I missed it. I was out today & didn't get home until 7pm & forgot all about it. It went for £17.02. I offered them £20 & asked if I could pick them up but got no reply.

 

[Martin Canty]

There still is Marsbartoastie's set of scales....

Shame he didn't respond.

Ezsniper bids at the last second for you. You put in your max bid, but it only bids what it needs to. It bids in the dying seconds, so is invisible to the seller or anyone else.

You load your eZsniper account with c$10 (US) and it costs something like 10c (US cents), per successful bid. No winning bid, no fee. You can go out and forget about it. I think they do an introductory offer.

Assuming you win the auction, you pay eBay in the usual way, and move onto the next thing.

I use Gixen. It does the same thing and is completely free to use.

 

[Mark Parrott]

I'll look into that. Thanks.🙂

@Mark Parrott - There are a couple of sets of Northerner's scales on at the moment, starting at £10.00. I can't recall the differences in models, but the Omron site is pretty good for features.
