Here's the reply, which I find, quite frankly, entirely pathetic:

And it's now £183.11 - you can get 15 bags of coal for that ffs! It's probably gone up either because their computerised system has interpreted your enquiry as interest, or it is responding to the number of people who have looked at it because of this thread.

And it's now £183.11 - you can get 15 bags of coal for that ffs! Up to £309 a couple of hours ago. Sent them a message asking whether there is something special about it that has not been described. Maybe in a gold plated binder. No reply as of yet.

Maybe in a gold plated binder. No reply as of yet. Yes, £309.95 now. I wonder if a non-banned member could start a thread about this fascinating canal companion in the other place, to see how much further we can drive the price up?
