If you ever find the extended Chris Rea Road to Hell - it was on 12" single but may have seen a CD single release - snap it up. Epic track.

I don't know if you've used Momox before, Mike, but if not I advise against holding your breath waiting for delivery. Sometimes I've ordered stuff and it's been lightening fast, but at other times it seemed to take an age. How they're faring after Brexit I do not know.

Momox and the similar sounding Dodax Estimate 1-2 weeks

Another good scam I've seen recently is to do with the lack of high-end graphics cards on the market, which Tim and I have been discussing in another thread. Several times I've come across eBay ads for slightly less than the current going price which, upon opening them, promise the purchaser a PHOTOGRAPH of said card. Not even a mounted photo, it's to be " delivered electronically." Now, they're very clearly labeled inside the ad but some not so clear in the title. It's there, but it might be in several words which are run together, e.g. NVIDIARTC3080PIC GRAPHICS CARD, or simllar. One, I seem to remember was something like nvidiartx3080jpgofcard. I wonder if many people do actually just hit the buy it now button in haste and regret the mistake at their leisure.

I picked up a new Amazon Fire 8 yesterday (it arrived this morning) as it's Prime Day for 48 hours. It turns out that because I apparently bought something a while back from a "small business" I'd accrued £10.00 credit to spend on Prime Day, so RRP: £99.99, reduced to £49.99, minus my tenner.
I bought it to replace the big heavy lump that passes for a very old Kindle, and it does the job perfectly. The cheapest (6" screen) kindle is £79.99
The Fire has 32 GB of mermory, and I've bunged a 256 GB Micro SD card in it as well.

I just thought I'd report back on the above. The Fire 8, which I paid £39.99 for thanks to Prime Day and a £10.00 "reward" token from Amazon is doing an absolutely brilliant job of replacing my aging Kindle.
It was a definite bargain, and if you're looking to replace your eReader some time in the future, keep an eye on the Fire 8 in case it goes on special offer again. Be aware that there are two versions though, one that comes with adverts, of for another tenner one like mine with no ads.

Long story short. Two weeks poncing around with a part for the Saab I eventually got what I needed - a tensioner pulley. Hooray ! Parts for Saabs are getting rarer so I breathed a sigh of relief Previously sent an idler pulley.
Out of interest I Googled to see how rare these parts are Spoilt for choice I paid £45 Ebay £12.99 - looks genuine, original Saab, seller good feedback and there are quite a few others
Check Google and Ebay before forking out for stuff

Just be careful for poor quality pattern parts. I have seen, for instance, wheel bearings at way lower than standard price. No doubt from a factory without the required manufacturing standards. Put your life at risk for saving a few Pounds? No thanks.
