'Exit' Box....????

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Wouldn't even pay £18 for it. I'd rather keep my real exit signs than buy this wooden box with a 6w link light inside and a legend saying "Exit your life".

Yea, I mean, I could understand if it was like £20-30 to cover the cost of the parts and a little something for him, but it's a poorly made wooden box, with a cheap link light in it and it's THAT much!?!?

Apparently he already sold 4! Maybe I should start selling link lights inside wooden boxes.

And yet I've made an entire range of fittings, all well made from quality components and ZERO interest. Funny old place eBay....

That's a hell of a lot of money for what it is.
