Looking to buy full or 3/4 set

Post by kings taxes »

I'm on the lookout to buy a full set, 3/4 set or just a set of drones and regs asap. Finding it difficult to locate a set so thought I'd post and ask any sellers or anyone who knows of sets for sale to inform me. Thanks

Do you have a preference on pitch? Concert set or flat set?

ah, silly me, I should have said I am ideally looking for a concert D set (that said I will happily consider flat sets too)

Too true PJ, but buying from outside the EU has a downside - 20% plus mark up due to import taxes and VAT - this is charged on the total cost of the pipes, plus shipping and insurance. Then the post office charges you £12 on top of all that for collecting the tax.

You do realize that a pretty high percentage of the sets on uilleannobsession are located in the EU, don't you?
