Been away for the weekend but it's still listed as being delivered by the 30th August!

Tomorrow I will search the garden to see if the Delivery Man has left it under the lilac tree ... :thumb:

... just like the Stork left my cousin John all those years ago! :whistle:

Ah well, it was worth a punt and it hasn't cost me anything; so time to move on and be happy with my current mill. :thumb:
 
Gonna give it another week. God loves a tryer.

Anybody got any cost effective home built mill plans?
 
You could just buy a corona mill knock off for 20 quid and attach a drill to it (I havent though cuz I'm a masochist)

To be fair I haven't even done am AG yet but thought I'd have a pint at this when I seen it. It must take a fair bit of going crushing a whack of grain in that by hand!
 
Back to reality with the best bit of kit I've ever knocked together!

An old FV, a bit of wood, a Corona knock-off mill and a Lidl Hammer Drill that had done nothing useful for two years!

It mills 5kg of malt in about 10 minutes and not a drop of sweat in sight! :thumb:

Oh well the dream is over, I just had a refund from Amazon as it doesn't look like my grain mill is going to turn up, I now have £ 9.99 burning a hole in my pocket
My guess is the scam is post items cheap on Amazon and hope not everyone bothers to get a refund



Or take the money and run, Amazon end up refunding the "dreamers " and passing on the costs to everyone who uses Amazon for genuine transactions.
It's like the spam emails for penis enlargement/ money scams etc, it only takes a few people out of hundreds of thousands to bite to cause grief for everyone else.
 
Ha, yes that too. Amazon isn't necessarily squeaky clean in itself. It could also be more pro-active in spotting/stopping these frauds, so possibly this may help motivation to do so.

But between the almost wilful suspension of disbelief by some plus the more calculating buyers knowing the loss wouldn't be theirs, the number of people who bite at these obviously fraudulent sales can only encourage more of them, and in the long run increase prices for everyone. The fraudsters are the only ones who really benefit from it, even if there appears to be no personal loss in the short term.
 
I suppose we can close this thread and declare you were all subject to a con man/woman
...or taking advantage of a very, very slim chance that the sale was legitimate or a sellers error, using the of protection of Amazon. A mill to gain, with nothing to lose.

Refund back in my account today.
