More Madness on Fleabay

[Beerhunter]

I sent him a message saying it wasn't really considered a rare item and I got not one but two messages back filled with hate!! Xmas is coming, must be desperate.

It's funny but all the people that I deal with face-to-face are really nice. ebay seems to bring out the worst in some people.

Did he/she tell you that you don't know what you are talking about? Which seems to be standard response - amongst the bile.

Up to sixteen

Just tried to add to my watch list but looks like it's been removed, maybe he got reported.

Help me here...are we speaking of a #4 bayonet? A rusty one at that? 79 Pound Sterling? Documented to have been Capt Peter Laidler's?

[Peter Laidler]

Not mine Jim........... I put a superb completely overhauled, bead blasted, phosphated etc etc NO32 Mk2/1 with all NEW L1A1 optics and drums/turret parts and did a nice little spiel about it - as you do, only to find some turkey continually coming back saying that I really ought to get some proper sound advice before I start hyping it up to be something that it wasn't! Well, you can but try. And being polite, even in a barbed way costs nowt as my dad used tp say Like calling someone you don't like SIR....., but spelled CUR!

Or suggest he's a genuine humus being...

Hahahahahahah! I think he doesn't like me, (sad face). He sent me this:

"well I know its worth about a tenner if lucky but sometimes you get lucky , plus it's to wind up all you "experts" which has obviously hit a raw nerve . feedback comments mmmm".

Says it all really.

[chosenman]

Feel free to bombard peppapiglet with interesting and exciting questions regards his rare Lee Enfield attachment. Hahahahahahah! He's a legend.

Actually, as far as I know, ebay doesn't have any rules against listing bayonets. There are hundreds of them on the site! Even No. 4 spikes are plentiful. This lister could easily have found the going price by searching for other ones.

The expensive ones are the No. 7's. Also cruciform No. 4 Mk. I's.

[Peter Laidler]

In the UK we're not allowed to put them on that auction site. Which begs the Q, what are MK1's worth in the UK or US - generally speaking? The real irony is that the worst bayonet ever in terms of mechanical reliability was the No7........., now worth the most (if it is of course!)

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Ninteen and counting. Perhaps potential bidders will notice the others listed cheap.
