Generally if something is in good condition then a fair price is around 1/3rd of retail cost, so i'd say about £150. Unfortunately there does seem to be a lot of dim wits who will pay a lot more than things are really worth because they think they are getting a bargain and this drives the prices up, it could go for as much as £250 if someone decides the 150 quids worth of bits and bobs and the filter are a bargain extra.

yes tru, ill ofer £150, see what he says,i am not really in the position to offer more anyway and its not like i need it. thanks CFC xx

yeh i'd say around £150 to i'd imagin its the rio 240 so it's defo worth £150 maybe £200

 

[shelaghfishface]

thanks Jen, im waiting on him to reply , lol he will probably just delete the offer.. but then at least i know where i stand

 

[shelaghfishface]

he mailed me back to say he wants a minimumn of £250.. and i dont think any amount of charm is going to work on him

Hi, if your charm doesn't work try skullduggery

I'd get a couple of my mates to offer even less than your original offer then, if no one gets near his expected lowest bid then yours might become acceptable to him

Ok......I've just put my neck on the line No one will ever do business with me again
