Ignore that, I was wrong.

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

sorry im not the seller and i would never sell my stilts
1 i love them tooo much
2 i have no springs and i mean no springs just the frames atm

the seller seems ok no negative feedback but they are going quite high you might as well just put the bit more towards it and buy from pro-jump and get the grantee

Yup, you asked my advice on them. They seem ok. The bocks genuine but don't pay too much for them. It looks like they might end up selling at a high price. There will be a point as lynch says where it is better to buy new and get the warranty.

Whoops. Quite a coincidence that there's another Lynch!

With the £15 postage they're not far off this website's price already.
As long as Pro-Jump still has free postage. You better check though
since my last post prooved I'm not on fire today. =p Sorry.

Glad to be of assistance,welcome to the forum Jamie,Hope you get your bocks soon. Its worthwhile keeping an eye on Ebay I bought Sammy's Pro jumps for £75 Only used about twice, did have a small amount of blood on them,but other than that perfect, Just be careful there are a lot of dodgy ones. dont forget to get some wrist guards a well.

One of us are usually always about ready to Bock. If you let us know when your free and we will sort out arranging a meet in Maidstone for you. It's actually one of our regular meeting spots. Probably our favourite currently.
