Correct, but there is one more.

A refund.

If anyone remembers the old Woden wood vice I bought a few months ago, you'll remember it was missing the cam lock tooth bit. I emailed the seller and asked if it turns up give me a shout, I need it. He said he'd look, but I wasn't so hopeful.

Roll on yesterday morning when I got a message saying he can't find it, would you like a full refund - and you keep the vice! Free things are always good

Had a similar result with this counter pulley for an ml7. Going to be used with the ml3. Turned up and was barely spinning. Disassembly showed a scored shaft and paint all over the bearings. Not to mention a dubious paint job. Paid £70 notes. Over the odds on a buy it now. I complained to the seller and asked for £35 back to cover new bearings and my time repairing. Got a full refund and he said to keep the item. Apologized and explained his mother was Ill in hospital and everything was up in the air and hadnt had time to check goods over. No choice but to leave him good feedback for sterling after sales service.

Been auction hunting again. It was supposed to be a garage clearance but there were very little tools there! I managed to buy this stuff.

Approx 45 assorted slot drills/milling cutters from 4mm to 12mm. Some are chipped but most are ok. Also some taps, drills & a curious tool. All for just £8!

A wanner grease gun, very expensive new, this one just £4!
A record no 202 pipe cutter, £6! Anyone know a source for new cutters at a reasonable price, this one is well worn?

Would it be too rude to ask how much you paid? Tell me to mind my own business if you like, I'll not take umbrage.

I bought one of these brand new back in 1969. I had stuff stolen from my garage a few years later and this was the only thing they left behind. Still got it and in perfect working order. I might have the instructions somewhere if you want a copy.
