[old_picker]

this is the second time this one has been listed on ebay. 1st time it closed wthout a bid. Seller said he was going for a higher price [ebay was $500] on the tradingpoach. Obviously didn't work coz its back on ebay opening at $399.

I have one, it is a PIG! DO NOT BUY! The frame flexes, the aluminium table flexes, the alloy wheels flex and their tyres are #####, the guide sytem flexes and the crappy trunnions flex as well...... the whole thing has always seemed to be made of licorice..... FRESH licorice! DO NOT BUY!!!! AVOID!!!!

That doesnt look like a BAS model?
They have a curved shape to the doors.

Harry, I can definitely assure you that it is... an indication of its' worth is that as a new unit it cost over $1500 ten years plus ago and is now on ebay at an opening price of only $399.
