I don't think he's left the country yet, he was still trying to sell his surfboards last week.

Quote
I'd just sell the ropes on but there's no way I can recoup the money I gave him by selling on the ropes I now have

Why not? Your link lists the new price of the 8.4mm as only £10 less than the 9.4mm.

So he is just ignoring me then?

Would you pay £200 for a pair of 3 year old used half ropes? You can buy new, dry treated ones for that money.

He'd replied yes when I asked if he was selling these, which helpfully come in the same colours as the ropes I now have.
Yes, I do feel like an idiot and the old adage "if it's too good to be true..." still holds.

Pretty much the conclusion my mate came to with regards to the other gear that was for sale.

And if I'd known exactly what I was getting I wouldn't have bothered either.

Thanks Jasper  :-[ :slap:
