No bids with only 4 hours to go. The seller may have made the classic mistake of trying to start the bidding too high and thus get no bidders at all.

£50 seems OK. Not a steal but an astute buyer may secure for the base bid or say £52 in the last 10 secs in case there's a watcher who thinks that with no bids a last minute bid of £50 will secure.

Went for £52. It's worth bearing in mind that these will all be at least 12 years old now, possibly as much as 17.

After investing a lot of money in mine nearly 10 years ago I wouldnt like to think there is any doubt about mine....built in obsolescence?

We don't build in obsolescence but I can't speak for the component manufacturers! However, as I write to the best of my knowledge all the important bits are still available for all but the very earliest StopClocks (serial number 199 and under). My point was that any of these that come up are likely to have seen a lot of use and as such moving parts like switches and relays may require attention.

Richard,

I think it's a testament to the quality of RH Designs products that they are still functional and desireable after such a long period of time!

And although they do come up for sale now and again at auction, they tend to hold there value very well, all things considered.

I've still got one on my list by the way...
