Has anybody had any experience with this-

Or it is there any reason to spend the extra tenner on this one
http://www.discounted-carpet-underla...k/gripper.html (I can get it for
~£30 off eBay)?

Looking to use it with a cheap carpet with no underlay in a flat that I am
about to put on the market, so just looking for tidy edging ...

We used these, and they were absolutely fine - I really can't think what
I'd change about them.

Not sure that 8 quid is going to break the bank if you are selling a
flat, but I dont know of any reason not to buy the cheaper one.

On another note - Have you noticed how much more luxurious an expensive
underlay can make a cheap carpet feel. I use carpet at £3 a sq.yd. with
Cloud 9 Cumulus underlay, (around £40/45 for 18 sq.yds on ebay). It
feels a million dollars compared with either cheap, or no, underlay,
will give buyers a much better perception of the flat, and will either
get you more money for the flat, or a quicker sale.

Cheap underlay will probably be effective in the short term -
certainly a lot better than none at all.

And it'll help stop that bump around the edge of the room where the
gripper strip is under the carpet. If I saw that in a flat I was
thinking of buying I'd thing cheap, nasty and what other corners have
been cut that haven't spotted or worse can't see.
