Issue 301
May 2012

 
 

 

The Zebedee List is a comprehensive list of secondhand balloons and other items for sale for balloonists. It is published monthly and can be obtained either in paper format or here on its web site.

Whilst a fair number of bottom ends etc are selling at the moment, only 2 envelopes - a 77 and 300 have been reported as sold during April. New for May are a complete 77, another 77 envelope, complete 90 and complete 120. Also included are another bottom end, nice Cameron Mk4 Super burner and in Zebedee’s tabulated ads, a Cameron Shadow single burner, 2 Cameron baskets and additional LBL & Sky baskets. Remember we have Cameron, Sky, LBL & T&C burners suitable for matching burners to all these baskets...

The UK weather has turned wet & windy almost every day for over 3 weeks with many fields waterlogged and very little (if any) chance to fly... Crazily we are officially still in ‘drought’ conditions - could only be in the UK!

The promised increase in UK postal charges is now in effect - see Zebedee’s Box for the increases on our mail order items. Books and ‘thin’ (< 25mm) items that qualify as letter / large letter see little change but larger items which can only be sent as ‘packets’ are affected much more, as the weight ‘steps’ have been condensed so that the post is now the same on for example 1 Cameron dust cover as 10 .... If in doubt, drop us an email. Also on the subject of post, if you currently receive a List by post and don’t need it, please let us know and we will delete you from our snail mail list.

The next event to be attended by us is the British Balloon Museum & Library Inflation Day on 19th May at Pidley, Cambs (see www.britishballoonmuseum.org.uk) We already have a number of deliveries to make that weekend - and the van is not yet full...!

Another Round of Scams!

You have been warned...

An increasing number of our advertisers are again being targeted by the "Classified Ad Scam". One individual from overseas - 'she' apparently lives in several countries (!) - has contacted a number of our advertisers with offers to purchase equipment unseen. The fraud is revealed when it becomes apparent that they will send a cheque for more than the agreed price with the instruction to refund the excess by Western Union.

Our advice is to treat with suspicion any interest from a buyer who doesn't even want to look at the item for sale...
