You know when you have a percieved "hole" in your Spydie collection and it looks like it will never reach fruition? :(

For what must be years now, I have been looking for a number of models. including a C04 Executive PE and a C25GP. They just don't seem to turn up.

However, Ebay did it again! The first was the Executive. It's a SE and not a PE, but I can live with that! :) It was sold as used and that is an apt description! Don't know if I will attempt a refurb, but I have one! :cool:

The C25GP has also been as ellusive. I like G10, I like it a lot, but then the original C25's are even harder to find! Guess who came to the rescue? Ebay! Not the G10, but an original! :eek: OK, not PE but SE. Again, I can live with that :cool:

The best bit? Won both at a shade over 40 dollars each! That's 22 pounds! UK retail for a Cricket is almost double that! :eek:

Yep, beggers can't be choosers, but I can live with that!! :D :D

God bless,

Simon.

Congrats Simon! Nice to landing a couple bargains, nicer yet when they fill holes in your collection. Gives me hope for the ones that have been eluding me.

I'm pleased that you managed to get your "hole" filled! :eek:

Now that you have found those knives........what is the next one? Trust me my friend it never ends ;)

Regards, Ken

Oh Ken! You sure got that right! :D

There are a couple of current production models in the pipeline, but as for "elusive" ones, the C25GP still! But that is much further down the list now! Jot Singh Khalsa :cool: but again, this isn't going to be an easy search!!

Good to "hear" from you Ken! :D

God bless,

Simon.
