Hi guys.

 

I think they are genuine, but something is wrong.

 

He has sold these and other items at under cost price. This is not the first time we have seen the likes of this on ebay in the last 2 months.

 

Be careful, me and some manufactures are trying to work out how this is happening but ebay are being useless at helping.

If they are being sold at less than trade cost price there are 2 obvious ways this can be the case

 

They are nicked and he has a shops worth of haul to get rid of

 

They are legitimate and he buys up bankrupt and repossessed stock from the many legal sources for this type of stuff and has paid peanuts for them so can undercut everybody else and probably make more profit at the same time

 

There was a programme last week on channel 4 about a guy who buys bankrupt stock and normally pays about ten percent of its value then shifts it on quick to someone else quickly for a small profit, they normally then take there time selling for a good profit

Agreed on 2 options, the first one yes.

 

But not the second one in this case, as we know all the suppliers that have had these and all are still OK.

 

There is another that is being looked at at the moment.

Looks like this guy has been selling quite a bit of gear on ebay & all looks new?

I would say he either has a mate working somewhere that lifts it and sells for a few £ pocket money or its been stolen by other means.

We all like a bargain but I would be asking how he had so much stuff, go through his feedback and see:sneaky2:

Dodgy :sneaky2:

 

I maybe wrong :lol:

Gift horse and mouth spring to mind. Are the Chinese copying these now as well as saws ? Why is this in the chainsaw section ? :D
