Bought this off ebay

Just purchased 10sq/mtr 4x4 twill off ebay, guys got good feedback so ill see what its like. For the UK i dont think its a bad price and next day delivery. This was buy it now but some of his other carbon has been going for £10 per sq/mtr.

Good on ya!:smiley:
Gotta love Ebay. Well, sometimes anyway.

He’s a real good bloke. I bought some various styles/weights from him.
Good prices (for us in Australia).
Shipping cost was a killer though. For $450 worth of carbon I paid $300 air freight! But I got it in good time with no damage as it was well packaged.
If he gets some wider stuff in, I’d definitely buy from him again.

Good to hear that jake, thanks

not a bad price at all :slight_smile: ive got a fair bit left but ive got a feeling it wont last me long now :slight_smile:

I normally get mine from http://www.carrreinforcements.com/ but this just seemed a very good price for 4 x 4 twill

Baz

did it arrive?

Being sent Monday, ill let you know what its like, i have some from carr reinforcements for comparison.

Well the 4 x 4 twill arrived today in perfect condition and well packaged, a few days ago i ordered some more 2 x 2 off him at the slightly cheaper price of £14.00 per sq/mtr. The 4 x 4 was £15.00 sq/mtr.
I looked on a few sites today and the price here in good ol blighty ranges from £30 to £40 sq/mtr, god it`s gone up in price since i got my last lot. So ebay man came good with me carbon.
I know you guys on the other side of the pond must laugh at what we have to pay, what you pay $1 for we have to pay £1.

Good god ive got the bargain of the century, i didnt realise how much the price had increased. Just checking a few sites 100 sq/mtrs, 200gm 2 x 2 twill just under £3000.00 + Vat @ 17.5%. Ok if i go to Carrreinforcements the weavers itll be cheaper but im guessing not by much.

I dunno man…a yard here (your meter) is 45 on average. Thats easily 20 or more pounds…

I keep getting the idea in my head a pound is equal to $1.60-70 USD

A pound is 16 oz.'s…:rolleyes:

have you made any parts from the 4/4 twill? ive got a sample here i got from fibreglast years ago and it looks fantastic as a dry cloth but ive never seen in laminated…
