Always get a serial number (photographed on machine unless you can see it in person) and cross reference with manufacturer/TER/Arbsafe etc. Also find out where the buyer bought it from, and ring them. If it is genuine none of this will be a problem to a legitimate seller - if they are not forthcoming with this info just walk away.

 

If you buy a stolen machine you are

 

1 - driving the market for stolen goods.

2 - going to struggle to buy parts/get proper dealer support if the machine breaks.

3 - likely to lose your new purchase with no recourse if/when it is discovered to be stolen (you might as well burn your money now and save yourself the grief/tainted reputation).

 

There are lots of legitimate chippers for sale - if you aren't convinced by one just walk away and save yourself the hassle.
