OK, this happens to me about every other purchase. I have been waiting for a mkIII battery to show up on the sell forum for about a month and a half. I put two ad's in the buy forum..... I check the sell forum at least 10 times a day on here and FM, I wait and wait but nothing. I break down and order a new one...The day it arrives and I take it out of the box and give her a charge one shows up for sale in the forum....arrrrrggghh :confused:
I told my wife today "wife, I says....you watch, the brown truck delivered the battery today, one will show up on the forum tonight" She laughs and says, "you're just paranoid".....Ummm, nope, it's in the forum right stinking now.

Cheers all, just thought I'd share my tribulation with those who might understand...

not to add salt to the wound but its the opposite for me.. i was eyeing primes a few months back and since i wasnt in a hurry i watched the B&S (in another forum of my country) closely for several weeks. i got the 24L and 135L within a span of two months and saved alot of money!
