They were African tool sellers mate, can remember names and they hardly spoke English, they buy direct from the thieves. eBay account was removed a few days later. Id wager 80% of accounts on eBay selling used tools are similar set ups. unfortunately people still buy off them and leave good feedback. That's why I only buy new tools now from HB or Skyland

I had two expensive jackets for the mountain rescue team go missing in transit. Fancy waterproofs, team logo on them. No loss to us, the manufacturer sent them again. 

One of the missing jackets turned up on Ebay 2 years later. He was asking for retail price, 500 quid. Offered the guy what it would cost us, a little over half that, said it'd probably be the best offer he'd get, and certainly the most ethical. He declined and blocked me.

 

So now there's one or two Walthers out there prancing around in our rescue team jackets. Maybe they removed the patches and logos. Who knows?
