We've managed to get a 12mth old Bradcot Classic awning with Easy Alloy poles on ebay for £200!  Just need to arrange a courier to ship it from Hertfordshire.

I can't believe how lucky we're being at the moment - got a better than expected price for our van, bought our new one lots cheaper than expected, sold our own 12mth old Bradcot for a good price & now got a new one really cheap!

Think I'll buy a lottery ticket this weekend

Sounds good Vanessa

Could you not go and collect it though? Surely it would cost as much for a courier as it would for fuel in the car? Or am I way off tangent?

well done Vanessa, do you fancy doing me a row on the lottery?

We're looking for a Bradcot Classic or Active with the easy alloy poles too but not having much look finding the size we need (990cms).

I use parcel2go or payperparcel. They will carry up to 32kgs for under a tenner. I always go for the economy 2-3 day delivery and it the parcel always arrives the next day regardless.

Perhaps me only wanting a blue awning isnt helping my search.

Thanks everyone.

I've gone on 'anyvan' delivery auction site where couriers bid for the job.  Had one enquiry already.

Tigermouse - it's 200 miles away & I worked out it'd cost about £55 in fuel plus take a whole day to collect ourselves so as long as the price isn't much more we'll keep the day to ourselves & let someone else bring it.  Quotes so far are £60+ so I'll give it a bit longer before I choose one...

Savanne - We just sold a 990 Bradcot but it was the Concept Plus & a bit of a monster to put up.  I was also adament we were having a blue one again & not too old.  We've kept our Bradcot tall annexe & inner (only been used for a week) so needed an Active, Concept or Classic for it to fit.

Hi,

Try GB couriers in dunstable bedfordshire, they might go into hertfordshire depending on were.

 I think i have a Bradcot classic 990, it was bought for our last van an amara 533/4. Steel poles not alloy. I was gutted that it didnt fit ourpegasus due to the extra height of the van. I had to buy another classic If you are interested let me know.

Wow - £25!  And there was me thinking I'd got a bargain...

Maybe we should have our own Car Boot sales where we can get together to sell or swap any kit we don't need/use any more.
