    The item has arrived, for which many thanks.

    Initial reaction is ambivalence.

    That's how it was for me, until I made up my mind that the odd pleasant bit
    wasn't worth wading through all the crap for.

  7. It wasn't *that* good. The engine was excellent and it was 100% complete
    but all the cosmetics needed attention.

    Odd, thobut. I stuck it up initially with a £399 SP and no reserve. No
    bids. The second week, with a £299 SPO and no reserve, it made nearly
    £500.

    That sounds worryingly Nigelesque, you know. I hope you're talking about
    beer...
