Bargains. Let us know.

[S-Kippy]

Well....my Hardy Conquest turned up today. In perfect nick and spins like a top. Came in its neoprene pouch but without the extra handles/counterweights.....not that I'm that bothered as I'm happy with how its been set up anyway....though not with the nasty yellow braid it had been loaded with which was very swiftly consigned to the bin.

I'm not overenthused with its looks ( bit too modernistic for a traditional old git like me) but I cant honestly fault it in terms of performance.....albeit the proof of the pudding will be bankside. It was a very good price so I think I did ok there courtesy of an excellent spot by Brother Steve.

Still waiting for mine. Glad they aren't too good to be true.

How did your day go Ralph?

My bag arrived on Tuesday while I was out fishing. It came by Parcel Force timed next day delivery! The delivery MUST have cost more than the £3.50 I paid for the bag. This has to be the best value for money item I have ever bought! As promised here are some pictures of it. I would have posted them earlier but I have not been able to get on the site for a couple of days...

First, the bag. It was a bit crunched up but it will soon sort itself out once it gets some stuff in it.

Inside it is fully lined and has several pockets.

Here is why I bought it, a fully waterproof bottom section.

As for the fishing, it was terrible! I will post on the HDYGO thread later.

Ralph.

Who was it that brought this gem of a bargain to our attention?.........ah yes it was me!

Mine still hasn't arrived after five days, Fishing Republic assure me its on the way even though it's not been marked as despatched on EBay and I don't have a tracking number either. I desperately need it to put all the lures in I've bought this week.mg:

Never mind John, I can send you my tracking number if you like :wink:

All joking aside, it just goes to show how much attention is being paid to our orders. I am sure my bag should have been sent on an economy service and someone made a mistake, this time, in my favour. It is all a bit slap-dash and hit and miss. The pricing of this bag must have been a mistake but as they advertised it on eBay, they had to honour it. I bet there are a few words being said in the back-rooms of Fishing Republic... or maybe nobody has noticed any of it, and that might just be the problem.

Time will tell, but I wonder which one of the multiple retailers of tackle will be the first in the pub with the likes of Toys 'r' Us and Maplin?

Spoke to FR this week, the price wasn't a mistake!

PS have you received my email Ralph? It included some useful info.

Maybe they were not going to admit to it... but I am a bit of a cynic.

Do you mean the one about the other place in Kent? If so, yes, I was just about to reply, but as you say it sounds good. That has done it now the rest of the gang will want to know what we are talking about mg:

Yes I did, unfortunately the Airity 11' feeder rod I'm tempted to bid on ends today!

I had an Ebay update saying mine was on its way. I hope its true as it will be a bargain if it does materialise.
The thing is that when these bargains crop up they make good buys for the AGM raffles.

The Polaroid sunglasses are back in aldi this Thursday, various styles at £3.99 each.

My £3.50 carp holdall arrived this morning. Seems very good quality. The money included postage.
I can't help feel someone made a mistake with the pricing. Good luck to Fishing Republic for honouring the sale if it was a mistake.
I just hope no one got into trouble if it was a mistake.

Good luck too to s63 for giving the heads up. Got any more bargains??:wh
