I've been bidding on a F&L as mines a few years old now. I've set myself a limit which is about what I paid for the last one and people keep out bidding me by about 50%. What's wrong with these people???

I just logged in to see what the brollys were bid up to this evening and for some reason my phone is displaying the bids in dollars not sterling.
Wonder what exchange rate cyprinus are offering. :-)

Yesterday it went for 155 pounds and it looks like it's going that direction today too.

I still can't work out why I'm getting the auctions shown in dollars.

Got one in the auction too for 140. I hope the quality is there, but took a gamble.

Hi guys,
Today I took delivery of my Fast and Light Mk3. I must be honest. I took a gamble as you read so much different views.
To say that I am happy and impressed, would be an understatement.
I have a piece of Aquatexx (Union Jack) and this fabric is about as thick, but the Cyprinus outer layer (ripstop) feels a bit harder/less pliable. Edit: I just measured the Union Jack Aquatexx and when folded double (2 layers) it's 0,4 mm thick. The Cyprinus fabric is folded double 0,3 mm thick. I must say that I once stood by an Aqua Fast and Light and this feels just the same, but can't compare them side by side.
It comes with a pole to erect, a screw cap for keeping the umbrella erect, nice pegs, 4 rather cheap feeling storm poles (going to replace then with better ones including a quick release connection as the magnetic ones come out quickly). The groundsheet is okay, not heavy duty like Trakker and Aqua. I won't be using it, so that's okay by me. The bag it comes in is very heavy duty and better than my Nash Titan T1 came in.
I have just put it up in the garden and sprayed it heavily with a garden hose and it's waterproof (just as it should be).
I have made a load of pictures. Is anyone interested?
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase!
P. S. It beats the Advanta Discovery DPM CCX Low Rider brolly in every area I had before this (and returned).
