80ft? Looks like a 30-40 at most to me.
Ionic brush obviously.
Certainly looks like Brodex clamps.

£2500 not inc VAT for the Swift 80ft. Wonder what reserve is set at? Think someone's trying to pull a fast one!!

It's not a nearly new pole, Ionics have used transverse clamps for at least two years maybe more as far as I'm aware!

To be honest, I wouldn't even accept it for free, it'll be a nightmare to use for various reasons!

I think the pic is of an old 45ft ish carbon brodex. Still a false description though.

Had a message back about the pole, bit aggressive I reckon? He said he will take £1150 if I want it!!

Dear evielolasmummy,

hello mate listen it an ionic pole dont no wat ur mate was looking at look on the photos now on ebay then ask ur friend, i do find it a bit insulting that your friend has insinuated that it isnt and ive lied about it, if it wasnt it would just be up as a water fed pole.
grab a bargain!

not suprised he was a bit aggressive, unless you are genuinely interested in buying the pole (doesn't sound like you are) then what business is it of yours or anyone else on this heavily biased forum ?

nobody in their right mind is going to fork money out on that pole without first seeing it and researching prices, if they do then thats their own stupid fault.

People still bid on it a hell of a lot more than its worth.
