    Default Millbank bags

    Hi,
    I recently located a batch of 8 millbank bags that I was able to bargain down to £8 each including delivery. These I have sold but have located another 10 from another source for about the same price.
    If enough people are interested I am happy to get these and post out for £10 to cover postage and fuel etc.

    These are the real thing and not a copy made from recycled tent canvas. I have seen them sell for up to £20 on evilbay recently but would rather offer them up on this forum.

    Whadaya think?

    There is enough interest for me to have ordered the bags. Hopefully I shall receive them early next week.

    Drop me a PM and I'll send you payment details.
    Thanks.

    It's a very bad idea to put email addresses in an open forum like that -- especially if they're used for financial transactions.

    I'll get the cheque off to you then. Thanks for doing this.

    All gone now.
    There seems to be a lot of demand for these and am happy to get some more if there is still interest.

    If you're selling them on at cost can I ask where you find them?

    I have 1 left. It is dated 1945 and used, there is a lot of staining from being folded and carried in a waterbottle pouch but I have tested it and it works fine. Same deal, £10 plus 70p for paypal fees.
