Saw that one too.
All I have to decide now is do I really need a 10" Furphy, or should I just try to get a better price for the seller?
Decisions, decisions!!
Nah, fellers, you can fight this one out between you. After all its only going to hold half a dozen Galahs'. Barely a feed for a couple of blokes with a decent thirst.
(praps at those prices its time to think about unloading some of my old junk)

mikel, before you make any rash decisions can I have a bit of a trawl over your discards, I'll take'em off your hands free of charge. Just call me big hearted, pd

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Geez. Pd. You mention "rash" decisions.
Wish you hadn't, brought back a recollection of a very "itchy" episode from a few (like, quite a few) years ago.

We (couple of fishing mates) went fishing out the back of Wyangala dam, water was good, we were quite amazed to see a flock of pelicans sort of camped in the corner where we often fished (and caught them too)
Well, the fishing was a bit slow, but we were getting enough catties to keep us amused until one of the mates said, geez, something seems to be biting me. Then it wasn't too long before we were all feeling "bitten". Bloody hell, those bites were the dreaded "pelican itch", a louse that lives on them but also attracted to humans too. Tiny microscopic little buggers that I think carbolic soap would have trouble with.
That infestation cut the fishing trip off before it barely got going, talk about you scratch my back and I scratch yours. Huh

The "rashes" I do enjoy though, are those thick bacon ones, cooked half crispy with a fried egg "sunnyside up" on a thick slice of camp fire toast. Tongue

Now what were we talking about????? mmmm. the junk in my shed...mmmm. spose it seemed happy enough when I looked...mmmm. will think about it. Wink

cheers mikel

I hope all the big bidders are finished although I have already put my top bid on it which is far more than what's currently showing, not that I really want to spend that much. Grin

Fingers crossed. Embarrassed

You all are going to have to post what this little baby goes for.

Some of those prices are the 'back of beyond'.

Well the little 10 inch Furphy went for $305. I think I was lucky actually. A last minute tip-off suggested the base may not have been a Furphy. That may have proven true because I notice the same seller has a Furphy lid for sale on it's own so maybe they are mixing and matching.

Still it shows just how much people are prepared to pay for these things.

Even a greater challenge will be to have a full set (including 20') with matching year of manufacture.

I reckon the chances of that are about as likely as winning Lotto and Powerball on the same day oh and having Jennifer Hawkins accept your offer of a naughty weekend away. Dream on. pd

Just to raise a little question of you all.

If you saw that 'discrepancy', how come no one seems to have 'ask the seller a question'? I've ask sellers for more pictures so that I can see this or that, lots of times. & granted some have come to my e-mail account, not to the item site, still I've usually found out what I wanted or didn't want to know and it helped me make a decision.

Cool
