Looks like Wham already got first dibs.

I wouldn't say that; Wham's only offering to pay 200 pounds, but the owner won't budge past 600.

Does anyone know a good place online for weapons (not motors)?

Looking back at all your comments, heres whats happened on FRA:

Iron Awe still hasent been sold (I two was rooting for BB in that fight) and i no longer have £200

SMIDSY was sold some time back and went to new owners

Mostly all robots have been sold.

Sorry guys!

Lets just say my house hold objects are not damaging against decently armoured opponents.

101 cost 1 pound and 1 penny to build!

Come on now, you don't really believe he built that robot from scratch for less than the cost of a candybar, do you? He just scavenged most of the parts from Robodoc, his old bot, which incidentally, cost him 1000 pounds.

With motors like that, COID can be a reality.
