Just picked one up off ebay for £29 + £10 postage..

If it works.. good deal?

It was definitely an impulse buy.

Sounds OK to me - in fact if I'd not been on holiday I might have been bidding against you for it!

As it was, on 19th I was out getting less wet than on 18th or 20th - but hey, Lake District in February, what did we expect? ;-)

Last time I saw a PCI shoebox for the Octane they were still going for around $100 but that was six years ago.
