On the photo's do we update as we go along or do a grand unveiling at the end to keep suspense.

entirely up to you - lets not have too many rules if we can!

20th Sept to 20th October has been mentioned as the timeframe, that seems reasonable to me.

I reckon progress shots will keep the thread moving nicely, and then the money shot!

I think you should only submit photos of everything.  That way you can't give other people ideas.

My idea is anything is fine as long as you can evidence so something that starts at  99P on eBay is fine just screen shot your winning offer bid with your purchase.

It's got to be an item new or old in a condition you could use and must be same size etc as your normally use so RH gloves, pads SH bat etc

Sorry if my comments isn't 100% clear.

if you are actually buying the items - then there are no restrictions - i.e. what Soulman says above

if you are playing the virtual game (i.e. pretending to spend £100 - rather than actually spending £100) then you are limited to fixed price items as you can't guess what price you might have got something in an eBay style auction. I hope that makes sense.

I'm game for this. Unsure whether I'm going to be able to do it properly or virtually. It all depends on what technological purchases I make in the meantime...

I think the ebay bargains thread might be quieter during this month!!  :D

They may have been clear, was just skimming while pretending to work and got confused, thanks for clearing that up.

Would the winner be whoever had the most kit, or who had sourced the best quality kit?

The winner should be the one that can buy the most pints with the change after they've bought all their kit

Was also thinking postage costs would not be included in your £100 budget as postage costs are high now a days and could easily take 25% of total budget if you bought items separately and from different places.
