Seems kind of pricey to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I think the start price is low enough - I generally put a buy it now just in case anyone is in a desperate rush. That's the joy of ebay - things tend to find their own value depending on demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the joy of ebay - things tend to find their own value depending on demand. I didn't realize it's a listing belonging to a member here. I was actually trying to orient myself on what they should fetch, rather than being critical. I wound up buying a few as a fluke and wasn't sure what to do with them (import them to US or try to barter them away while they are still in UK). When I bought them, I was bidding on something else, but mistakenly put the wrong lot # and... became the proud owner of never seen, but overpriced boiling vessels!!

Starfire Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I don't know about your Fox, but the Saracen doesn't have enough electrical power for a BV, and the Saladin uses a different one to just about every other AFV (round one).

It isn't - but I know who has listed it and I am sure that they are as in the dark as the rest of us regarding what they might or might not be worth! I have fond memories of BVs - ranging from the pitch battle we had with the beancounters to retain them in the production model DROPS trucks to the life-saving Moray Firth Boiled Eggs (even our small landing craft, the LCVP, had a BV).
