Someone just got a bargain...

I guess it was because the seller did not want to post...

That's what you get for not finding a couple of nice boxes... the majority of people hate picking stuff up. They'd rather it arrived on their doorstep.

</me rubs weary eyes> is that a GVP Impact HD8+ i am seeing in the picture ?, because you had better insert 300 curse swear words on my behalf if that was a 530

[edit] If i still lived in the UK, I Would have carjacked some 80 year old and driven up there from Portsmouth to get it.

Not sure if Peter was referring to himself in the original post, but as he says 'someone got a bargain'. Good luck to them.

No - It wasnt me !! - I'm gutted too - it was an item that I was watching.

When I checked my ended items that I was watching I saw it - thing is I'm sure that you can organise couriers to pay cash on delivery and bring these items back to you... not sure of cost from Kent though... anyone on his doorstep would be rubbing there hands...

I bet that hard drive is relisted in a day or so... by the new owner...

That is certainly not an a530. A530s have 40 MHz written on the front with big letters. And the front seal is cream color, not grey. Thats a impact series II gvp hd+8. Still, great bargain.
