E85 Boot Liner - worth having?

A Boot liner for the E85 has come up but I'm not sure I'd really use it. I don't tend to store dirty or leaky things in the boot, but it could be good insurance for whenever I need to (it could be stored in the garage until needed, I suppose).
Owner wants $30NZD (£15) for it.
Worthwhile accessory, or just more junk cluttering up the garage??

One was going for £30 on the forum last year (pic is in the thread):

I have one and leave it in all the time. I think I paid £30 for mine and is a great item to have just in case you have something dirty to put in boot
 
Sounds like I’m going to have to buy one of these. Sounds like it would look better than the tarpaulin I have been using for years! :oops:
 
I’ve got one and keep it in the boot all the time. It’s For the money I think you’d be silly not to get it.
 
Cheers everyone - I think I'll put a bid in (didn't realise the $30 wasn't a 'buy now' price, but hopefully no one else will jump in).
 
I only use boot liners in my cars that are going to carry my dog. I don't think my dog would be very happy if I were to put in the boot of my Z.
 
I keep an old beach towel in the boot neatly folded when not in use when I do use it mainly when I visit race tracks I lay it out flat with the excess hanging over the bumper after putting camera kit waterproof clothing and boots I lay the excess back over my kit and then I use the excess hanging over the bumper while removing the kit this protects the bumper and when its covered in mud and leaves I can remove and wash.
 
Update: I won the auction (no other bidders) and picked up the liner today. It has some paint (like overspray or a bit of splatter) on it, which I was fully aware of when bidding, but now I'm wondering if anyone knows a good way to remove said paint, without damaging the boot liner. It's not huge blobs or splatter, but visible enough to want rid of it/them.
Any suggestions on (safe) paint removal?
Will post pics if it would help.
Cheers

I'd be worried thinners or turps etc would be too risky on the rubber boot liner. Then again, I could always try on the reverse side and see if any damage occurs.

Edit: IPA seems to get a lot of hits online for suggestions to fix this, and I have some in the garage so might give that a try first.
