Bargain Alert Thread

[slarge]

Exposure are selling off a load of 2nds and stuff - some good bargains to be had (Flash for £16)

Can you tell me more about this light? It looks interesting but there isn't enough detail on the listing for me. It says "Powered by either a disposable or rechargeable CR123 battery" does this mean that you have to buy the battery separately? Do you have to charge the battery out of the light?

Yes it’s the older version that has a separate cr123 battery. These are normally camera batteries and either rechargeable or disposable. I did think (as I didn’t check) that I was getting the usb rechargeable version but it isn’t that!! Exposure have stopped listing these now as I think they are selling rechargeable only lights. Not quite sure which is better for the environment though

Backpackinglight.se has got gate wood capes up for £128 , if you buy make sure you change the currency on the website so PayPal don’t charge for exchange rate, posted the same this time last year and between us we bought nearly all his stock

Click the menu button reg it should have a drop down for language and the bottom one for currency, you know you want one after stroking mine

[RIP]

Ta!

Yes I did enjoy stroking yours after you'd erected it in the woods that night just for my pleasure .

So a gatewood cape (or dechutes if you're 7ft) is the way forward then. Is that your final answer please Reg... If you're getting one then I want one too

Shaf I’ve just had a barrage of text messages of Reg saying it’s all my fault why he’s had to dip into his pension pot again

Aye, there goes that new cardigan he had been saving for since 1987.....

Apparently it’s quite well known around his way that he still has his communion money

Serves him right... Almost convinced me I needed a Ghost Whisperer for half price (which was super cheap to be fair) but I resisted and my scratty Rab (owned by someone on the forum now but on long term loan to me until its death) lives on... It's only 50% heavier but at least it's long term testing going on with it (how long before it dies)...

Too many brackets, I know. English was never my atrong point! Reg, I hope you manage to get the momey together for the sweater...

Stobbit missus!

I'll have you know I get my cardies from Oxfam. They often leave the rejected ones outside the back door.

That's a strange beast. Am I right in thinking it's a poncho that turns into a tarp-tent?

You did...

but I resisted

bad luck .

Nah, other way round .

I can't believe I've just paid good money for a shelter with a big hole in it.

I'm a dead man when Mrs Perrin gets home.

[RIP]

I want one too

It's easy. Just press that button. Landslide did it by mistake (*). Actually, I say "paid good money" but I haven't paid anything!

Right that's me doing beans on toast for the next month.

(*) that's right isn't it Chris?

Half of them have gone already - they should be giving us Boners Discount! (Or some commission for MaM).

Oh good grief, of course I need a blasted pole now as well don't I. I've got thousands of the bloody things already but I'll bet none fit - how long does it have to be peeps?

No reg you just ask Stu for a extender
Same happened last year Reg , I got the email asked Stu a few questions then bought one , put it in this thread next thing he’s sold out , think Mike got the last one at that price last year

[Bearlegged]

Looks like SMD recommend ~125cm.

[Cheeky Monkey]

Lets hope his stockcontrol is better than some UK sites (I'm looking at you PX/OO) otherwise there's going to be some disgruntled folks on here. Imagine if only half of those ordering received them.

[RIP]

Ta chaps. Still can't believe I've bought a shelter with a door. I'll never live it down. Not bought any gear for ages, and don't want anything, so it's all down to a moment of (Ma)Madness.

[RIP]

Imagine if only half of those ordering received them.

Hence why I didn't pay for it .

Nope. 125cm is for the Lunar. Cape's a different beast, you need around 115cm with a tip to fit into the harness eyelet at the top.

Stock control last year was bang on everybody got one , Mike had to wait a little longer as they’d lost his order

Apart from the down jacket right? Which you didn't need when we were discussing...
