The trouble with Amtex, certainly via GSF is that some of them have been sat around for years, and I do mean YEARS.
I've bought sets before now that have been totally flat from the outset.
Others have been about half flat.
Ok, they are cheap from GSF, but cheap spheres that are already stuffed or half stuffed is not as good as expensive but actually having pressure.

I wasn't aware GSF owned Amtex TBH.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

I don't think they do but they are the main distributor for UK!

the 1st set (eBay ones) I tried had had the dates scratched off them, but one of them just about read 1999 so they were both basically flat but as I say these ones are brand new this month so they are both superb a lovely nice smooth motion up and down at the back. Well worth £22.50!

That must be sufficient evidence of deliberate dishonesty for ebay to judge in your favour?

yeah its all sorted out now, to be honest the guys (partsfx) were very good about it they said they were selling liquidated stock so had no idea of the original source and I was refunded the same day so its all good.
