I saw these on eBay & thought they look great for those people who cant
build their own glass house, they are built of replaceable corflu material
so they insulate quite well i believe, not the same as the good old home
made cold frame but they look really good value for money, have roof
ventilation trolley size door way & aluminium frame.

Steven et al,

And have you noticed that there is an automatic
bid placed by the vendor after every single bid,
adding $5 to the price just bid? click on the
"Show Automatic Bids" to the top right of the
listing..... it's an eye opener. I'm guessing
that this is legal ebay-wise, but looks dodgy as
heck to me. <grin> No way you can place a bid
without being outbid (this was mentioned by
someone else recently, not sure whether on this
list or not... might have been another one).

The greenhouse looks great, but I wonder what it
is actually supposed to be worth? I'd think
about it, but with that automatic bidding system
I'm just not interested in doing so.

Cheers.
