RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted January 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes it seems like a def change in their strategy. Most item are BIN or Make Offer at high prices. Annoyingly you can't tell what price offer was accepted on those items that sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be laziness. the sought of 'Oh, I've taken one pic, and they look the same so I can't be bothered to take anymore' However, if you check each one (yes, I know..........) you will find that the second and third items are actually a pair of trainers and a parka!

Keith As far as I remember all the HA vans that I've been in were yellow on the inside, so I'd say this is not an original BR van. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatB Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Most HA vans seem to have gone to fleet users, BR, BT, GPO and British Gas being the main ones I remember. The interior looks more like it might have started out as gas board blue rather than BR yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
