gday mate, i bought the pot at a south african store/cafe  in hawthorn rd caulfield (i found it by googling south african shops in melbourne or something similar)

it was a best duty brand and it cost $100, which i thought was a good deal

Yup!
But the under bidder did not think it was that expensive.
A genuine SA Falkirk, been looking for one for ages.
I thought SBB might have been bidding.
