Electric Scooter, info on this.....

[Pretender]

I have picked up four electric scooters for a total of $2.50.
The last two I picked up look like the one in the photo below.

Does anyone know what brand they are? I found this photo but no other info.
It has " Mini Star" on the stickers but I cannot find anything under that or just Star Scooters.

Long shot but someone may have come across one before.

Thanks

$2.50... as in two dollars fifty? for 4 scooters?

[Pretender]

Yep, $2.50.
From the recycling area at the local tip. As they assume they don't work they get rid of them really cheaply. Three of the four work so far, they just needed minor work and charging. My kids love them.

In my lounge I have a black Pioneer remote stereo system with four speakers and a matching DVD. That cost me $7.00. 2 x Sony Handycams (vhsc tapes)both work, only one charger and one brand new battery for $5.00, VN Calais grille $1.00, whilst replying I am viewing my ADI 19" Monitor that was free (guy threw it out as it didn't work) paid $5.00 for the correct cable.
2 x Honda lawnmowers (both run perfectly after putting back together) $2.00 each. I could list probably another 50 items I have.
Sometimes when I need something but have little money I pick up a couple of items for say $10.00, fix them if they need it and sell them to Cash converters to get the amount I need.

Yes it is my favourite shop.

Damn sounds like I need to check out one of these places, sounds awesome but guess you gotta know what you're looking for.. sorry for hijacking, can't help ID the scooters at all :/

It is actually cheaper on the weekend rather than during the week now because the Council took over the weekly running.

I'll work out the scooter with a bit of trial and error.

I just thought of another bargain I picked up last week. We are having Christmas at our place this year and we thought one of those shade cover/gazebo things, or whatever they are called, would be a good idea but we didn't have $100 to spare. Went looking for some steel for some shelving and one was sitting there still in it's original sealed plastic bag. The bag was covered in dirt so I got it for $5.00, price tag on it was $89.95 on special.
It is set up in the back garden now.
