I too love fleabay.

I just bought an MPG ( one of these ), a four axis version form a guy in deepest darkest Hong Kong. He seemed personable enough, always replied to my many questions promptly but always started his replies with "my good friend". Now where I come from, when someone refers to you as "friend" like that, doesn't always mean they are your friend and quite possibly you are in for a duffing so I was a little apprehensive. After much mulling, I clicked the "buy it now" button and sent my money off, fully expecting never to see it or my MPG alive again. Four days later a parcel arrives from Hong Kong, marked as "present" so as not to attract the feds, tee hee, and inside was my MPG and a little note saying that, sorry, they had run out of four axis and had sent a six axis one instead (selling on the bay for 60 quid more than I paid)and they hoped I would not be dissapointed. Dissapointed? Moi?

I learned two things.

1 NEVER judge a book by its cover

2 I can get things from halfway around the world faster than I can get them from the UK and at sensible prices. They don't ignore you and service seems to be pretty high up on their list of priorities. (MD take note)

End of rant. (feel better now)

Oh yes and the MPG is built like a brick outhouse, very high quality but my God the instructions are written in Chinglish, anyone know what a "Patulous" is because I have to be careful to wire it in so the original sculpt is in no way anti-interferetiaiai.

PS, Irving I am not in any way whatsoever jealous of you getting those vices
