The advert says... "This is the ideal present for the hard core military and/or garden art collector who has everything"

You sure don't have one of these yet.

It would look great in your yard!

Despite the fuzzy plate you can read "Drums, Barrow WD MkII"

Someone ruined a perfectly good 44 gallon drum cart to make this "must have" pile of rust that "tilts as the ORIGINAL gun MIGHT have done".

Brilliant, I NEED one.

Now where did I put that ice pick........

Steady there fellas. Last summer one of our own salvaged two 25pdrs that were posted for sale similarly. They were listed as Garden Art too. At least the artist did not vandalize anything especially important or valuable for his expression.

Didn't notice the data plate... kinda hope he's not hacked up the barrow to make that... last barrow I had which was complete with a drum of cable, I sold for £750 gbp.

Default junk cannon relisted

Hi All,

I see the Garden Art Cannon is relisted and down to $499.00 starting bid on Ebay.

He says he will now keep it if he doesn't get any bids. Hope he has a good place for it in his front yard!

Maybe if 200 people are watching it on Ebay and he gets no bids for it he might get the message.

Cheers,

Wayne, Nice garden art but.....

...... WA Firearms Permits pending, I assume, while 25 'experts' from the WA Police Firearms Section debate if you are indeed allowed to have anything like that in the Post-Howard Firearms-less era???

Many a true word said in jest Mike.
All it would take is a single complaint to the right bureaucrat and you would get the full display including media beat up.
Anyone a member of a motorcycle club?

Nor only did somebody buy it, but if you look at the bid history, they put a second higher bid on it to protect from snipers.
