This is down the road from me, I was thinking of making an offer, anyone know this make and what it's worth
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Streamline-Pro-44ft-Glass-Fibre-Window-Cleaning-Pole-Brush-8-Section/112432021432?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D43781%26meid%3D2b3ed998e10c4a9ea172ce3e9bcebb05%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D222538931730

Not the best choice it will be heavy and quite whippy they arnt very popular now with carbon poles being far superior, depending how much you will use it have a look on Gardiner pole systems site at the slx pole range it will be more expensive but a far superior pole and easier to use
-
Thanks for the reply, it would only be for occasional use on conservatory roofs not for 8 hrs a day use.
Is it not worth an offer? he wants £180 I wAs thinking of making an offer of £130. How much would a 40ft SLX. Pole cost?

Mike, have a look here
http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/pole-specifications.html A 50ft reach carbon pole,610 quid plus vat, a 45 ft 435 plus vat. I have had the clx 27,part carbon, part fibreglass, and even at that height, its quite difficult to control, the fibreglass one will be REALLY heavy, especially at full extension. The carbon poles are lighter, and more rigid, the glass fibre pole will wobble around considerably and as last poster says, quite whippy. However if you're only going to use say once a week, its worth a punt, try him at £100 first, then up it to 120, if he won't bite, you can always remove some of the bottom sections, if you don't need them, to make it a bit lighter.

Rich I just made him an offer of £110 but he refused it :-\
I might leave it a few days, he's asking for offers, if he doesn't get any more interest he might be more responsive. I could buy a gardiner and the little use it would get it would last a lifetime but its just forking out £600+ For something that would be nice to have but not totally necessary as I have a 40ft pole already (but it's a bit worse for wear)
-
It's worth jack Martin as who in their right minds would buy a fiberglass pole. Let alone a 44ft one???
-
If you only want it for connie roofs, a Gardiners CLX 18' is only £108 plus VAT.

Looking at Gardiners camera sale section and then adding a pole on is a different price from the window cleaning pole. Not sure if they are selling them (bare pole) without the number one section.

Mike - defy not worth a lot - maybe £50 just for the privilege of taking it away - its no good for conny roofs - too heavy and it will bow something terrible so the shaft will hit the roof panels - as said buy a clx
always chancers out there - seen a gutter vac that id quite like to buy but the seller thinks its worth £800 ( its six years old ! )
funny thing is its now been on sale for a good 7 months.... ( brand new are £650 )
