As a matter of interest, does anyone know where you can buy them and how much they go for?

you can pick one up thats need restoring for around £500.00, however if you want one that has been blasted & primed & ready to paint then you are looking at £650.00.
If you want one already done (off the shelf) its about £800.00-£1000.00
The downside to this is the transport,costs & equipment involved.
Some people who sell them for a living will charge around £1.50 - £2.50 per mile for delivery.
I purchased one for my sister & wish to god i looked up at the work involved getting it to her place in Richmond from Portsmouth.
Thess things were made out of cast iron & my transit van that i hired struggled with the load, me and my mate were like laurel & hardy (aka the piano scene) trying to shift the thing with the help of their neighbours. once back in Richmond we could not get it out of the van & had to tie a rope around the box with the other end attached to a car & pull slowly.
As for getting it through the gate to the back garden, well thats another story altogether (needless to say it did not fit through until we did some strategic knocking down of bricks)
What a farce, but worth it now though, i got her a postbox for her birthday aswell (one of the wall mounted ones) about £300.00
Or you can get a pillar box for around £900.00, but bear in mind that they are buried about 2 1/2ft into the ground so are about 61/2 ft tall.

There's a plasce in Cobridge up by the old Focus that sells them. Baskefields is the place, they had about a dozen of 'em when I was there last. Some were in good nic, others were a bit worse for wear, windows missing/smashed. They all would need repainting tho' I think. I think they were priced around the £450 to £499 mark. All sorts of stuff in there. Hope this helps.

Woot! I knew the old Oatie wouldn't let me down. Thanks for all your replies. I'm in Sydney and was with a bunch of work colleagues who spotted one in a furniture store (but not for sale). It was an original but I also made the comment that it didn't have the authentic smell of piss (forgot about the brocks bangers). I knew that there would be loads kicking around the second hand scene. I wonder how many you could get in a 40 foot container |

There used to be one in a back yard up the top of Colin Road in Trent Vegas, on the corner of Trent Valley Road ...... Might be a bastard to get over the fence, but it would save you a few hundred squid  |

word of advice for future postings tho mate - when you put "May you die an untimely death" then all you can expect back is abuse. End.

there used to be one in someones front garden on beaconsfield drive in blurton. my mate reckons that on his way home from school one night, he had a wank in it. he's stupid enough, but why would anyone want to do that?
tijuanabrass - is this the motive for your enquiry?

Well actually, somebody wanted to put one in the foyer of their office in Sydney but I'm sure if your mate felt the urge and he was in the neighbourhood... |
