Did someone here snag this?

I console myself with (1) there's no way I would've caught that within the 10 minutes it was online, and (2) the seller's feedback rating is significantly lower than my threshold for purchasing on eBay.

Get a Landie 101FC, you can fit a whole workshop in the back of one of them. Back when I used to get out into the wilds rather more often I came this || close to getting one once with the intent of converting it into a 'goes anywhere' camper van , still kind of regret that I didn't.



"Radio Body" version pictured. There were also soft top and field ambulance versions.

Maybe it was the reincarnation of the brown one I had when I lived alongside Hackney Downs.  Got stolen twice.  The second time, we went to the really disreputable area where it had been found, sans many parts, took one look and got out of there ASAP.  Called the insurance and told them to go get it - if they dared.

It's the Fiskars 24" x 36" version; $20 @ Wally World. These are nice in that the flip side has the same exact graph and scales printed on it, only the dark grey and light grey are inverted.   I caught mine on "we fucked up the inventory sale" for $8.00 last summer; somebody mixed it up in the online inventory with the SKU for the 12" x 18" version. When I was actually able to get mine for that price, I bought the other three they had; traded one to a friend for a $45 flight controller and ESCs and family claimed the other two.

A word of warning... just like the green ones, these things STINK. They reek of polymer and sulphur forever unless you lay them outside in the sun for a week (not exaggerating in the least bit here) before you bring them inside. Don't forget to flip it over sometime around Wednesday so the other side can pass outgas, BTW.  |O Seriously; the only thing I ever had on my bench that smelled worse was a 3D printer fire.   :scared:
