No - I want it for myself. But it’s really too far for me.

No it’s just cheap for what it is!
If I bid could your boys pick it up for me?

It’s an auction - how do you know it’ll be cheap?

The standard answer to this is buy a Honda instead

Come on! We've got to make some sport out of it, it's lockdown and there's nothing else to do! what number is a bargain to you?

The price is creeping up https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mountfield-S ... 890.l49292
I'll guess it will go for £140 - just because it's a nice round doubling of the amount it was when I first looked at Mik's link

Don’t post the link again - it’s just @Rich B bidding it up to frustrate me 
It’s a discontinued model, and £140 would still be a very good price, but I’ve just been offered a brand new one for £270 so if the price heads towards £140 I’d probably opt for a brand spanker instead. Who knows how well it was run in, or whether they have warmed it up properly before tackling long grass during its 10month life

eBay auctions always end up surprisingly high in my experience! Under 4 hours and still cheap!

It’s already gone over £140, so won’t bother bidding.

Over £150 now - I reckon £184 finish.

Sold for £215. Probably shouldn't have posted it Mik, I'm sure someone on here still got a bargain

£215
I’ve just ordered the new one for £270 instead.... not quite a 600LT but that’s my big ICE purchase for the year so far.

I remember a few years ago looking for a specific lens for my DSLR and wanted to save a few quid. Kept eyeing ebay but consistently the lenses were going for only about £5-10 under the price of a brand spanker. Very strange.I think I might go EV for our next mower.
