Just bought this off facebook tonight.

Have been looking for one for a while ( Howard Miller) but they don't come up too often here in New Zealand and to buy a new one with the way freight from the USA is at the moment it would be a no go as the price and the logistics would kill any deal.

The price I paid for this is very cheap, just the other week one sold locally for 4 times the price!

The seller assures me it is in perfect like new condition and talking to them on the phone I beleive them, so off on a 5 hour drive each way to pick it up tomorrow.

We have one but Mrs Spruce doesn’t allow it wound because she says the tick is too noisy

Tell her that in that case, you will have no choice but to spend a great deal of time on Tik-Tok. 😁

I found several deal on face and OfferUp. Always local buys for me, trying to stay off ebay. Usually overpriced, tax, at times expensive shipping and last who knows what you’ll get. Oh yes always the possibility that it gets destroyed. Nice clock, I have to build a mantel one, for a woodworking class project.

Update on this picked it up today, I am blown away it looks brand new, my sellers photos don't do it justice at all.
I will take some photos after I get it all set up tomorrow.

The dial is gorgeous as they usually are! Does it play several chimes ?

Bought this a couple of days ago Xiaomi Mi365 Pro and have been researching the various upgrades available ( this has had a few major ones already)
Goes very well and was extra cheap, only one year old and came with 2 charges. Seller photos of the scooter.

Some further major upgrades I will do are these aftermarket high quality front and rear suspension mods to make a great scooter success story even more user friendly.

Currently its go no suspension and a solid tyre upgrade to eliminate punctures that occur on the stock pneumatic tires but with my double knee operation at the beginning of the year I don't want the extra jarring so a major refit required which will make it street and off road friendly 😁

I've been a long time Giant guy, but for whatever reason, Canyon has my interest.

Some may have noticed my post hoping for some help re a failing keyboard, decided to purchase a new one and yes it performs perfectly but what I can't believe is how soft the keys are, obviously my jumbo fingers have taken there toll.

Soft and gentle in the future 😀

Just carry it on its side to get around sharp corners.
