I bought a Radio Controlled new Seiko Wall clock on e-bay for £14.00 a couple of years ago. The same clock was £56 at Argos same model number.

I don't think the business seller was making a loss.

Are you sure that it's a genuine Seiko though, not a Chinese copy?
Lots of fakes out there.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It keeps perfect time purchased when we moved back home after the fire in July 2018.

Laverdaroo:
Is it a 4 wheel drive Seiko and can it handle the jumps well on rough terrain? ;)

Laverda Dave:
Here you go Ted, here's a post I put on a couple of days ago. You won't go wrong with a pair of TEC's for the money.
Cheap shocks are really not worth the money, most look awful after six months and are like pogo sticks when the going is anything but smooth:

His contact details are David Hunt, 01932 786030 (evenings and weekends or leave a message).He is the southern rep for TEC.
Last time I was at Kempton Park I noticed he had a single set for the 400 and another set for the 500 (with the half chrome shrouds). If you need a set get in quick!

I've used TEC shocks on my standard 750k2 and 500k2 and they are good quality. I've had the 750s on for about 7 years and damping is just starting to go - and considering the cost thats not bad. I  have Hagon's on my CR750 Rep and they are better for a sportier application but not as comfortable. TEC look standard.
Bought the set for the 500 and they sent the longer 750 units and as it was just before Christmas (and I wanted to move the build on over Christmas), I rang them up the morning they were closing down for the holiday break, they sent a set out next day delivery and said 'just send the 750 set back after Christmas' great service I thought.
