I thought I had seen most things...BUT...

And no it isn't me and I don't know who it is!!

OOOpps probably doesn't show the link try searching Beekeeping hive hoffman frames national on Fleabay
 
can't ebay stop others from selling stuff like this? The potential for problems if the seller is unscrupulous theres no telling where those frames have been.
 
Plus if you are a newbee who doesn't use this forum you might think ...hmmm...BARGAIN!
 
How very dare you! Thats Muswells Skoda cabriolet

don't...skoda, never again, i bought a second hand 2003 Skoda Octavia estate 75k miles two years old...private sale..no come back

After about a year went over a spead bump in Tescos...engine bracket failed, smashed the clutch fly wheel, and track rods///£3000 to repair, i spend £5000 in two years, turned out it was clocked and a taxi cab from slough....never again..and Tescos claimed for damage to the spead bump....every little helps
 
Is it the one with 97.4% positive feed back?


Never did trust percentages.
 
I think he may be a bit optomistic, with the postage @ £9.00 they`re pretty much the same price as new ones.

Careful there buster. I may live in Northumberland now but I'm a Tyke born and bred:(
Tyke? Is that what you call a yorkshireman?
I thought it meant a little boy.
I'll have to run that past my Sedbergh born husband....... when he talks to his 87 year old father I can hardly understand a word they say but then I am from London.
Sorry, I know this is nothing about bees so I'll add bee-smillie
