I did think the original price might have put off many potential customers!

I’d guess that once the battery started not to hold charge then the whole machine would have been forgotten about in the shed and eventually disposed off. There’ll be several of them in the bottom of landfill tips across the country!

If you want to add photo links to a post then there is an option in the reply box – it’s the button in the bar above where you type that is labelled ‘img’. This will enable you to put in a direct link to images on photobucket etc. When you press the ‘img’ button a pop-up window appears and it will ask for the image location (www.example.com/image1.jpg etc) and then the pop-up window also asks for a description of the image.

The link needed from Photobucket is the ‘Direct’ image source beginning with “http://i”.
