    Klear with a diamond studded top!!!

    I presume it has the said top, as a bottle of 'Original' Klear has just gone through on ebay for £36.50!!!!

    What sort of person gets sucked in by this?

    Cheers,

    Ron

          Market forces, the rarer it gets the higher the price will go :moneybags:

          If someone is happy to pay that amount for it then good for them, and the seller is obviously happy to sell it, who loses?

          What's the point in worrying about it?

                Maybe but why would it bother anyone else? Maybe the guy is making an investment, he could sell it next year for £50 :wink:

                  I wish :sad:

                  I have 3/4 of a bottle left and there's no way I'd pay silly money for more but I wouldn't sell mine for a measly 35 quid:wink:, hopefully it should last me for another 5 or 6 years by which time I'll have found something equally as good (not that rubbish new version)

                    I've seen little 50ml bottles of it from model supplier websites for £3.50 + P&P. Considering the 750ml bottles of pledge (and in their day, Klear) were selling for less than that, someone is taking the weewee!!

                    I'm about halfway through my 2nd bottle of Klear I bought for supermarket prices (actually Wilko mail order) and I also have pledge now. Some time ago I dipped one part of an F-86 canopy in one, the other part in the other and they came out identical. Plus pledge smells great!

                    As far as I can see, pledge does the job... I just hope it stays around.

                      I've never owned a bottle of the original stuff and certainly wouldn't pay those sort of prices, so I can't compare the two, but the new Pledge works fine for me.

                        I'm not worrying about it......I really couldn't care less if people are daft enough to pay silly money for things, I just posted this thread for a giggle.

                        Far from the new stuff being "Rubbish", I find it works well and does the job just fine.

                          Well I have half a bottle I gave to my wife for the hardwood floors hate the stuff . Think I will retrieve & when you get to half full Andy we will join forces & sell the stuff for !!???...

                          Steve (Stona) you are a chemist, I believe, can you not analyze the stuff & with all the expertise here market it in small bottles as some exotic price.

                              Laurie - I believe if the "product" is patented / legally protected in some way (i.e. the Brand Name) then this would legally work, assuming he wasn't selling it as the same thing. If the "formula" is protected then there would be legal issues....

                              This is my understanding of the rules.....
