I bought one from a different buyer for £350.00 plus £6.19 p&p. I have been told by the seller waiting for stock which will be in Friday. I bought it over the weekend. I have contacted the seller many times and would not get a reply until yesterday.  To me it seems like a scam and am really concerned.  Now I am also gutted to find out a more genuine seller is selling them for £285!

I  want my money back from the place I bought it. Then will buy from the seller posted here. But i am worried I wont get my money back .

Good Evening

Best cordless drill ever in my humble opinion at an amazing price. I'd buy one if I didn't already own one.

If you need a cordless you won't get a better deal I'm sure.

Just got one to, thanks for the heads up

Dear FOG,

My name is mac and I'm a recovering Festool addict.  Well not really.

I have to fess up; I have just bought one of them.  Thanks for the heads up guys.
I truly hope nobody gets into trouble for this, I'd hate somebody to loose their job over this.  If it means I don't get the drill for £285 plus postage, then I'd rather that than somebody get sacked.

I'm curious to find out how this has happened.  Has anybody made a best offer?  Asking for a further discount seems poor form to me.

joiner1970 - where did you find the model number from?  I can't see it anywhere - webpage, eBay invoice, nothing?

We shall see.

Thanks again, Merry Christmas to us I guess?

I messaged tts when I first spotted the item on eBay. Funny thing is I remember I only went on the net this afternoon to register my new multimaster, that turned up today. Before I knew it I found this on eBay, I think it came up because I have tts as a favorite seller on eBay.

Glad I could help.

Do not want to put a damper on the excitement, however down here there is a set on the official Festool AUS site for $A419 BUT no battery or charger.

And according to a money converter I just used, $A419 = £224.15.

Just be sure to check you are getting charger and batts.

Yes, it's the full set, with Jacob's chuck, centrotec chuck, RA adapter, charger, and 2x 4.2Ah batteries.

It's such a great deal I've even been tempted to get one myself, even though I already have one... [blink]

Edit: They're now all gone (unless they put some more on). They've sold 53 of them! Guess they've got to do something to pay for their office Christmas party!!! [tongue]

Me & jonny will be waiting for our festool freebies to come rolling in for all this publicity we've given their eBay page

Yeah - just had a look at the item details (available once the deal's finished) and they've sold 25 since I put this post up!!!

Also, it's interesting to see what offers they've accepted & rejected. Cheapest accepted offer was £230.00!!! But then yesterday & today they've rejected offers of £275.

Sorry Steve I meant to pm you before it went public lol

Hope you got one

I didn't need another one either, but managed to grab the last one! In my defence though, it's for someone else.

;D

I really hope not, but I can't help thinking that someone at TTS has slipped up here... [blink]

If I am wrong [see #26] and this really is the bargain of the year but unfortunately due to someone's clerical error, [size=14pt]then I hope Festool UK sentences them to transportation to the Colonies, ie Festool Australia!  [smile]

Could this mean festool selling off all stock in order to make way for a new and improved version of the PDC?

 

[Nippychippy]

There might be two more my bank did a fraud check on my account  and I couldn't process  it for ten minutes then when I finally got one it was saying I had to pay for for two more  [eek] [scared] I  haven't got  the money for two more oh god technology is shit  some times

 

[E30Mark]

I tried making a 'best offer' but then it came back with someone will be in touch in the next 48hours. So I then I thought sod waiting 48 hours I'll buy one now. Too late!!  all gone, I missed out  [sad]

Could be, but if so it's a new way of doing so. Festool UK have never done this before with inventory before a new version, at least to my knowledge.

I highly doubt there's a new version of it - these things have long development cycles, and if there was a revised version in the pipeline I doubt they would have bothered re-branding this Protool model as Festool (which only happened a year ago) - they'd have just waited for the new one.
