Looking at a mill on ebay today, idly threw in a £500 bid and matched first place.

Then the bidder I was tied with withdrew his bid :confused:

Then he bid £490 :confused:

Hello, thought I, he's playing mind games. So I upped my bid to £750 so now he hasn't got a clue where I am

It's going to go for a lot more than that so this is all rather academic. I doubt I will get my new mill until this recession really starts to bite :D
bet you were getting worried... but in the end it went for a very reasonable £2,260 (but was £1500 with <1min to go).

Picked up a good set of engineers parallels 10 pairs x1/8" for £15 on eBay, a bargain I think.

Have decided to buy MT3 collets and a few other bits... (6" vice, some endmills, etc.), priced up from RDG they come to just over £250... any suggestions where else to check pricing?
