to keep MC's back covered you can PM me rather than post on forum

I'm 99% certain mine came from him, they are untested but are well made and very, very heavy so I'm expecting them to take the trucks weight without problems.
-
let me know if you find out - I'd be interested as well.
Let me know if you bid - don't want to run each other up

I understand why you've added this, but is it really necessary? Admins, maybe you may like to comment, but I think it's going too far.
Would the feedback not be beneficial to all members of MC? If they are good bits of kit then fine, but if they are cr@p then let everyone know.

he has a few on and seems to be selling them most of the time so am going to chance £20

Yep, just checked, mine are from him. Untested as i say but i fail to see how they could be any heavier made, you wouldn't be able to carry them!

I added above as dont want to drop MC in the poo.
Basicly I wouldnt want to take the chance of having someone post a less than complimentary coment about an item that can not be responded to be the seller.
If the items do prove to be rubbish then I would feed this back in the forums.
But its like the fact that I can not mention a 4x4 dealers who I recently had ongoing trouble with and eventualy had to go as far as starting a court claim against them. Because the claim was setled out of court I can not post there company name etc as could be classed as defimation and not only would MC be held liable but I would be open to being sued as well.
Hope this answers your question

You may be lucky to get it for £20 but looking at the past sales only one has gone for that price.
All the rest have gone for between 20 and 30 pounds except one that went for £42 :shock:
Also just remember the £12 p&p to be added.
There is also a seller in Teeside selling them http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4567708690&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BID
also £13 p&p to be added.
If anyone has bought and tested some I would also be interested but we must be careful not to bid against each other and end up paying £42 :wink:

Can't comment on those ones but I got a set from someone else on the same auction site, 38mm the same, they work well but as with all waffles you have to accept they won't last for long if used over rocks! having said that they performed well over the rock section at Tixover last weekend with my mates 90

When i said those ones I meant "keithbareham"
Mine were from "landladders"
-
I've got a set, very handy, £42 all in :D bargin.
-
Got a couple of sets, a short set for the lightweight, works well, and yes they will chew a bit on rocks, but wear and tear is what you get
Another set longer I got was mainly for loading and unloading out of the back of the motor the wifes electric runabout, but can double for use with the disco as well, these are thicker and longer, but look strong enough to do the job :wink:
-
I got a set of the 50mm thick ones about a year ago off eBay and I think I paid about £32 + postage for them on a second chance offer after I bid on about 6 sets.
As there are always plenty on there just pick the price you want to pay and keep bidding. You'll get a set at the right price in the end. :wink:

Oh yes. Mine are 50mm.

got mine from same said seller, i've had no probs with them and i've used them no end of times for various things, just watch the textured side though its a bit nasty on bare knuckles :D

Hi
I think that he is from Sudbury Suffolk, and if so yes I have them and they are very much the same as you would find for sale at Billing and alike.
He has said that he supplied a lot to them, so they would be I suppose.
Give him a call his number is on E-B-Y-

I bought a pair of 38mm thick ones off ebay and it was money very well spent. I'm not sure if I'd want to try and lift a pair of 50mm thick ones when they've been used in clay though. The ones I have are a struggle when they're full of mud!!
-
I bought a pair of these off the very same chap, only got them about a month ago so haven't been used in anger yet, mores the pity. Though I was down the beach the other day and as ther was no wind and a handy concrete lip by the carpark, I decided I'd weight test them. Took the weight of my 110 no prob.
Service from this guy was also good, arrived two days after I paid for them, all in all well chuffed. Now I just need to find something off road which I need to bridge. :lol:
Oh, I think I paid 34 squid including p'np.
-
i have bought a set of 38mm ones and driven over them at 20 miles per hour
i have had them 6 months and used and abused them in the mud
as for bridging ladders i cannot comment as i havnt had cause to do that yet
but i will not hesitate

He's been selling these on ebay for a while
I've lost a few bids myself but he seems regular so try them
-
Well I won the ladders
£9 (not inc P&P)
yes thats £9
Bargin of the week I think.
-
I was going to bid on those as well, but forgot.
You got a good buy.
I hope he sells some more, as I would realy like a set.

Your right is £19 still think I did well though

I've had a set from this guy I think, I know I've bid before now anyway. They are ok but you get what you pay for, I'm not too keen on the way they bend if you're bridging a gap. Ramps they are not. That said on soft poo they are good, if you use them before you sink. When Turtle and I got stuck they proved most useful as a Hi-Lift base, you cannpt climb out of a hole on them. I've bought 3 sets now as it's cheaper than one set of the 50mm type, which have a different surface anyway.
Put it like this, if you thought twice and decided not to, at that price, you'll kick yourself one day..........

Maybe we should ask for a bulk discount and "club together".
