Hi Derek,

Well I'm back from Canada, not been around for awhile computer crashed and burnt, have a much faster computer now  it's great.

The reason for the post.

Derek have you seen this

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Furphy-12-Camp-Oven_W0QQitemZ220290277615QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220290277615&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ebayphotohosting

sorry don't know how to do the little link thing.

Cheers
Kate

Hi Kate and welcome back.

I hope the trip all went well for you.

That Furphy is one of the new Chinese ones.  The sad thing is that on eBay they are selling for more than what they cost to buy new.

Sad really.

Hey, look forward to seeing some photos from the trip.


Derek

Current bid AU $172.50

I just bought mine from Aussie Dsposals Toowoomba for heaps less than this!
Maybe I should buy more and start an eBay shop?

Derek.
Are you certain that is a Chinese Furphy, the lid handle certainly does not look like an Oriental one.
All the new Furphy's I have seen in stores have the typical "dump end" style of handle casting, that one appears to be quite symetrical.

By crikey Mikel, I think you are right.  

I need to look a bit more closer.  If that's the case then this is a pre 90's Furphy before they started putting the year of manufacture on the lid.


Derek

Derek I emailed the guy selling it, and asked him how old it was, he could not tell me, so may be he picked it up second hand. the way these have been going it should hit the $ 400 plus to rich for me  ;D

Well some one got a gret buy if that is a genuiny furfhh at 212.50 :o

Good buy, Last one went for $328.

Did you see the big girl on there?
Skip

Same as the one on the front of my website.

That lid looks like it has never had coals on it.

Has anyone noticed the 20" Furphy on eBay?
looks from the lid it is a '94, in good nick with a starting bid $280. (3 1/2 days to go)
Pick up only from Wagga.

Looks like one bloke is willing to go $450 at least..

Actually annoys me when they post your emails.

;D ;D

Skip

Now was that you that made the $450 offer Skip...

My money is on you Skip.. ;)

Aart

Thanks for the link Aart, looks to have a bit of rust on the lid when you enlarge the photo, or could be grease staining

I,m no expert,but that lid looks alot like my billmans.
cheers George

I thought the same thing George!

Mick.

Buyer beware on this listing, the seller added the following information:
And I quote:

"We have the right to cancel this auction or remove this add as it is listed elsewhere."

What a load of crap!!!!!!!! This bloke is just playing everyone against each other to hock the price up of this oven, people should not be allowed to get away with this. He listed the item for auction it should be left to stand I reckon. Basically he will pull the auction if he doesn't get what he wants for it which you can do anytime up until 1 hour of the auction ending. I think I might question ebay about this loophole that I have seen people use time and time again and I don't believe its fair to the people who make the bids on the items it's just a waste of time.
Just my thoughts,
Astro.

Ditto Astro.  Ask Ebay.

I know that kind of statement would not be valid in N. American Ebay.

Go for it.

8-)

Also unusual that it was not listed in the normal CO catagory.
I only stumbled on it by accident.
Perhaps he doesnt want to sell at all, merely dipping his toe in the water.
Or getting a cheap valuation.
Cynical, arn't I!

mikel

I know I'll be giving it a good nudge. If he removes it you don't pay.

Jono

GORN!!! sook, I had me bank loan out and everything :'( :'(

Jono

You wear wright Astro, he did not even wait until the last hour to pull it, should have finished at around 7.30 perth time, very strange if you don't want to sell some think don't list it. jono i will keep looking at camping stores one day i may find one for you mate  ;)

Good onya Nelson, I sent a Q to em asking where else it is listed. Surprise Surprise No Reply!

I usually ask them not to show my eMail as it tips off other bidders, doesn't always work though.
