Don't post that much on here I know but I thought I'd just point everyone in the direction of this ebay add. I buy a lot of stuff from ebay and sell quite a bit too so you get a feel for ads on there but this just doesn't smell right so I thought I'd share it in case anyone recognises the kit. The seller claims they bought the job lot from a "car boot".... Perfect cover story pattern for stolen kit.

I think its genuine . There is no reference to " contact me off ebay for a deal " type of stuff . Paypall as well . Could be wrong but does not smell as bad as the chippers and processors from the top of Scotland !

The seller looks legitimate but who sells this amount of kit at a car boot?? If your in the game usually you know some one to pass on or sell too instead of taking to a bootsale plus bootsales are normally March-October around here.

it may very well be genuine but i question as to where the boot seller got it from.

 

That's assuming they actually got it from a car boot. It's always an easy cop out to say, "well there was this bloke at a completely untraceable car boot who was selling it so I bought it, even though I've got no idea what most of it does"

 

Just smelt a bit suspect to me.

I had a hilux full of fencing tools stolen from a field once, I was in the tractor on the other side of the field and didn't see who cleaned me out but some of the tools turned up for sale in a local pub (pre gumtree/ebay days) and it was a sickening feeling, we all work hard for our tools and it's just a small(ish) group of people who ruin it for everyone.
