I don't need chicken wire but just wanted to share my sympathies.... and a small giggle  ;D
(This is why I've never yet attempted an auction)

Hope you find lots of buyers!

I would have but have just bought a 50m roll from Robertsons at Milnathort yesterday for £49.50 ::)  I might end up needing more but by the time I drove to Forfar it'd be more expensive than getting another from the local merchant, sorry ::)

Had to giggle at the auction experience, I used to go to all the roups and ended up with a few things I hadn't known I was bidding for, but not at that scale :o  things like trays of plantpots, rolls of electric fence tape etc..

usually when they are selling pallets of wire you get the option to buy the lot or just one or any number of rolls      why buy the lot if you are not needing them    good luck  :o

hi princespiggy well dont know where to start!!!!!!!.The rolls are new and wrapped i forgot to mention that, but thought i had made it clear on the price and the reason for the reduction in price! so to sell 4 rolls at£37,50 and get my wife to deliver them to you from her work in aberdeen is not helping but taking me for a FOOL which i am not  so thanks but no thanks im already out of pocket!!!!!

i offered u £150 for 4 rolls and to pick them up 25 miles away from us.
i can buy 50m chicken wire for £35 each, from our farm shop 5 miles from here.
slightly feisty attitude scottyboy, i wasnt trying to insult you. i was trying to be nice, i wont bother in future.
