    I was in Peach on Saturday picking up my Kemper, no more 2017 R8’s to be had now :(
    There will be a cherry one in GG Epsom today, I think.

    They've both sold if you're talking about Hyperben's.

    Oh ok: I’d noticed a couple of listings whilst idly browsing at the weekend. Guess with the desirability and prices they’ll be snapped up in a jiffy.

    The one on eBay is now for 3k BIN... maybe a case of fee-free listings run out but I can’t see that going anywhere anytime soon

    That was mine. Went for £2499. Loads of interest but it did have a rather special top.

    Yes £1 listing and about £80 PayPal fees. I also offered free courier so received about £2380 in total which I’m quite happy with.

    Or he's made £2380. Glass half full and all that. @hyperben do you mind me asking what caused you to sell your R8s off so quickly? Just didn't bond with them?

    This is correct. And I also didn’t bond with them that much. I’m happy because I’m not that bothered about losing £119 as it enabled me to get the R9s I wanted. If I waited much longer I would’ve missed out on them. I got the R9s for less than £3499 so saved there. Swings and roundabouts. To get my money back I’d have to of asked £2599ish. Who’s going to buy at that price? Also wanted to sell the R8s before an influx of them on the classifieds/eBay. It would’ve been better for me if the R9 sale happened first.

    Not sure what it is, but Lenny Kravitz was playing a tasty-looking LP at Hyde Park. (Apols for potential thread derail)

    I did manage to knock them down a few weeks ago but didn’t get one from them in the end. I know others who’ve tried to knock them down since and they wouldn’t budge though
