Don’t know why this didn’t work but original post is
Hi guys currently trying to sell the above and wandering if I have prices set to high as I know I can lower prices and I am ok to do that but don’t want to lose out on too much money due to me wanting to save up for house deposit so every little helps

Got these from a friend who doesn’t want/need them so thought why not see who needs them as I don’t either (thought I did but decided I have enough storage as it is)

Looking to get rid of 2 of these as I don’t use them and might as well get rid and curious how much could I get for them as pricing is all dependant on config and what’s in em etc so thought would ask and see and gage interest
