5 or 6 years ago I wanted a paper feeder for an A1 plotter. They were about £300 new. Searched the part number on ebay and came up with one from an office clearance. Brand new in the wrapper with a starting price of 99p. Nobody else bid. Well, who would? I think postage was ten quid.

Cambelt kit for a Vauxhall Astra. Local garage wanted £95 +vat for the part , even telling me which company made it. Had a look on FleaBay and got exactly the same cambelt kit, by the same manufacturer for only £32 + a fiver delivery, saving £57 on the garages price.

I bought an electric snake for blocked pipes, it was advertised as broken. I put a new lead on it, total price including postage with the new lead was £57. New it wood of cost £400-500. It paid for itself on the first job I used it on.

That was 3 years ago.

Hey Andy- I bought a similar thing 'Electric Eel'. Nothing electric about it though- just a coil on a drum with a few attachments-- but it sure does clear the drains -50 metre I think
Only used it 3 times in last 5years I reckon. Time I sold it on.

Also- I bought a Kango KS26 -- cutter 110v--needs a big type Transformer to run it though. I paid £300 for it. Ideal for cutting out bricks at lower level to do a PROPER DPC replacement . Designed though- for cutting out blockwork indoors without all the crap a Still saw chucks out .
Time I sold that too. Cant see me using it again.

I bought a £500 borescope for £75, the dumb bird hadn't a clue what it was and listed it as a boersoipe so it failed miserably in search results, it was in some 'diy other' section.

You can get real bargains searching for incorrectly spelt items.
