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

At best, maybe one of these looks like it might have some life in it, one has lost vacuum and 2 look like they've been used, probably to the point of failure....

At least the seller was reasonably honest saying they were "very used" etc.
Still, why wouldn't one just take them to a recycle bin? Can't be worth selling them

If someone offered say £5 -10 they got them selves a good deal as the far left one looks alright, just chuck the other 3 and youve got yourself a good 18w for a bargain init
