Doncha just love ...

Post by slparry »

.. ebay :)

OEM front brake pads for my K12GT are an eye watering £70 so £140 for the two sets needed.

A while back I got a rear pair from ebay for £20 (instead of £60) ..... and over the weekend got a complete OEM front set .. at 99p cos no one else bid on them ...RESULT :)

Nice result!! I've had quite a few things I've nicked for 99p. Got 3 new Velux roof window blinds last year for 99p each, exact size and colour we were about to order from Velux for nearly £300 :shock:
Collected them on my way back from work and almost felt embarrassed paying the guy three quid...............but not for very long :D

There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity
