There are some dents on the frame, but it does not have the slightest negative effect on use.

It looks like it got damaged when somebody used the top tube as a giant lever to snap the lock off …

£12,000 for a Lada (reduced from £14,000). That's about 6 times what they cost new.

True - don't think fibreglass can rust. When I was doing my apprenticeship, a fella there had one, we called them plastic piggies back then.
I guess the subframe could rust, easy to tell, go round a corner in a rakish manner, and when it's tipped over you can give a thorough inspection.

Lidl recently had some Parkside bluetooth ear defenders for £35. Decent quality for the money, apparently. All sold out in my local store though
I can buy them on ebay though... for a £100

Surely 'bluetooth ear defenders' are headphones?

Some of them were even fitted with a 140mph speedometer!

£19.50 to just see them, or an extra £25.50 to talk them before/after the gig as well!

well... headphones aren't designed to block out the sound of noisy power tools, hence 'defenders'.

I did see those in Lidl and wondered the same. Over-ear headphones are designed to have a good seal and now most have noise-cancelling tech. So how are ear defenders with speakers in, not headphones?! I suspect marketing
