HS Explorer

Midnight · 16th June 2006, 23:53

I am interested in getting an HS Explorer but the second-hand market is a bit quiet (Which is a very good sign) so can anyone tell me who is the UK / Irish dealer for them or do you have to go to a US dealer?

Hi Guys,

Sorry to open up this one again but I had my eye on one in ebay and as I do not work at a terminal I was easily "sniped" with only a couple of minutes to go by a tenner!!! If only the bidding closed in the evening!!

Do I have to set up as an importer to get them over this side of the pond or something? Or do I have to take a trip to the states???!!

Regards
Midnight

Sorry mate - was a pukka bid tho, not an artificial sniper - I left it late as I thought there would be a late rally and was surprised at the lack of resistance.

Give Patrick at Oxycheq a call. He's the distributor for the Hydrospace Engineering products, and a great guy to deal with.

Did I mention he likes RBs,

I've been using it for about 3 years; excellent. Basic version (all you need) is US$14.95 and a bargain at that.

I have to admit I 'snipe' as it were but only ever do it by hand.

I usually decide what I am going to pay for something then wait till 15 secs before and bid that amount.

I am sure it saved me a packet of the years - the last thing I bought was a boat for the bottom of the garden!

No need to apologise mate.... No harm no foul. That is what auctions are about.

Got chased by a fake email today though telling me it was not really sold and did I want to send 500 by wire and get it any way. Luckily Mick F was on-hand to stop me making a tit of myself!!!
