so your not a little bit concerned if hes doing it to someone else he hasnt already done it to you?

have you been introduced to the custys?

is the prices correct?

have you called him to ask him about it? report to police?

if he does sell it to someone else too, your going to have a nightmare

Just a thought...

It's not an old ad that he's forgotten to cancell is it?

The time waster could be a guy prior to your purchase.

that round has been for sale since january the 8th 3 different adverts.

i passed on this round, as he hadnt cleaned it himself. and the paperwork was 2 sheets of hand written addresses with no names.


He told me you bought the Northampton piece, and a few on the outskirts of Kettering. Not the Kettering round.

window rounds are notoriously a bit dodgy when it comes to buying and selling.  


unfortunately there are people who will try and rip you off.i would never buy a round off these guys who have not got established rounds(5 years or more)and i certainly WOULDNT PART WITH ANY MONEY until ive knocked on all the houses on his customer list and introduced myself and/or worked the round with him.

i bought a very small round in 1993 off a guy i trusted and worked with(2 days work!!)then went canvassing like crazy for 6 months then recommendations and word of mouth as been my most consistent way of adding more customers over the years.


tread very carefully lads!!
