ubereglu Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've just popped into the Omlet online shop and typed in, "reconditioned eglu" into the search bar. I'm now looking through the items, just out of interest and you can buy on there loads of weird stuff. Some of it is drinkers and things, but I managed to find a brown rabbit eglu on there without a run. I was wondering if all that stuff should be there....

Egluntyne Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 It is old stock that they haven't shifted. Very rarely a reconditioned cube comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Ah, that explains it then. If anyone wants a duck eglu or a brown rabbit eglu then now's your time! I wonder if there's a yellow one??? (I'd love one of those!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I told them weeks ago that these things appear when you search for recon eglu - the girl on the phone asked me to talk her through how I'd found them as she couldn't. She said she would get them removed but they're still there......or maybe they're reintroducing yellow and brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMO Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I was told (by an original yellow egglu owner)they stopped making the yellow egglu as the colour attracts maggot flies?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 An urban myth Amo. I have a yellow eglu and it is an object of great beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 There was a discussion about this on the forum a couple of summers go, and I remember a general consensus being reached that yellow attracts more flies - Mel remarked that her elegant hi-viz jacket that she needs for work is often covered in the blighters! I'm not sure whether or not that was the reason for Omlet dropping the colour... next time I speak to Johannes, I will try to remember to ask him. I loved the yellow ones too.

Jules. Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 http://www.omlet.co.uk/basket/basket.php look what I have pretended to buy! What's an Eglu repair at £0.00 & an Eglu cube return at £0.00? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 They must be some sort of no charge item on the ordering system that has (for some reason) got onto the site too. Try emailing james@omlet.co.uk to see if he can remove it - just send him a link to this post/thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'm not really buying.... The pink cube sounds good, though, & my Eglu lid is all scratched where cats have sat on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 My orange eglu lid is somewhat scratched and has some stains that won't come out - even with pressure washing. I reckon that they ought to have a recycling deal - you can 'recycle' your eglu lid for a new one at a slightly reduced price. I wonder whether they are actually able to be recycled.... perhaps not, because I think that the coloured plastic starts life as a powder.

The Dogmother Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've emailed James about this - as this is the 2nd or 3rd time that we've had a thread on the same subject. Edit, just had this reply from James: Hi Clare, Thanks for letting me know about this. We have lots of old products in our product database which you can make appear on the website if you enter the correct product id. I am just changing the code to stop this happening. Thanks for your help, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
