How Much ??

See if you can guess how much this sells for :




( I would have put this post in the "Bargains Elswwhere" section, but I think the "bargain" aspect would be debatable... )

£149 ?

£249

Well a brand new Euro pallet like that costs between £6-18 depending on spec (free if you go on the scrounge). The wheels are around £2-3 a piece. So £30 material costs worst case.

I'll bet it sells for £249 with satisfied customers in their docklands warehouse apartments

I can well imagine people paying £200 for one...

Do the inhabitants of Docklands luxury apartments often need to move old engines and gearboxes around their home then?

Just checked the website selling these, and to be fair the price has been reduced from £399

Good Guesses.

The answer is here Made.com


We were looking for a couple of pallet trucks and bits and pieces for a workshop. Now Google keeps throwing adverts for these at me. It looks just like the "home made" thing were getting rid of that we use for pushing bits of kit around on. We all laughed out loud when we saw the prices.

I quite accept that you have to pay a bit extra for something built by a craftsman with time, care and skill, but do chuckle at things like this where the price is defined by a marketing man based on fashion.

We're talking people who don't open their own bonnets!

If you ordered one by mail order, do you think it would come on a pallet?

Hmm...

I'd say £15,000 no offers - but, there's no mention of 'awsum breaks' (I can see an absence of these). Does appear to be an 'easy fix' and 'allmost complet, 99% dun'. No mention of the vendors keeping it if 'it dosent make enuff munny', I'm also unsure of how much it 'owes' the vendor. Probably registered as a Ford Dutton Westfield Pallet, tax exempt.

Doesn't have an unfeasibly high roll bar, so I guess it's more visually pleasing than some though.
