Came across this for sale on Ebay. I would'nt like them to clean my carpets. The equipment on offer is as weak as the van.

The listing reads earn £500+ per day (puzzi 100 & vax shampooer)
-
That's a brilliant van ...............I've been using one for about 4 years ( but with proper cleaning machines ) and it's popular with the biggest carpet cleaning franchise in the world.
-
A bit of joe polish in his advert ;D Like to sell himself and good on him..
-
Be interesting what the conversion to the van is, just looks like an empty van to me with a puzzi and vax in it ;D
Its a bit sad hes spent all that money and not done any research into what a proper carpet cleaning business is all about ???

Mpg must be fantastic, the payload (kg) 577 which is'nt too bad. Ok the van gets off, but can you run a professional carpet cleaning business with those machines? probly not.

Last month this person sold a similar van A Mobile Catering Van that they bought for their Mum to start a mobile catering business but only earning £450 a day
Unfortunate mum has ill health so could not start
If it is a member of the Forum you have my deepest symphony suffering so much bad luck ;D ;D ;D
-
As you can see from the pictures, the van is truly immaculate inside and out.
But I'd call the Police if I were him......looks like someone has pinched the engine :D

Hmmm maybe a get rich quick scheme.
-
He bought the van on 12th july for £899
-
Well he's made a good profit on this one...............SOLD for £2600
-
Wow, i cant believe that some truckmount set up's inc a better van sometimes fail to sell for £5k and yet a carry van and puzzi 100 make £2600! :o
-
Food for thought ...............
I was about to sell my little Suzuki Carry, maybe I should chuck in an old Puzzi and steam cleaner and see what it fetches................beats working that's for sure.
-
Tell me this is a joke, 26 bidders for what !
-
Oh my god. :o :o :o :o :o
What goes through peoples heads?
£2601 ???
-
Good sales patter.... hats off to the bloke.. Now we wait for some thick turd (The buyer) to ask which is better... A Vax or a TM.... ;D
Of course, we ALL know it's a Vax!!!! ;D
-
Or maybee the buyer will join the Forum
-
Looks like he only paid £899 for the van. He claims to have spend in excess of £4000 on this "project" That vax,puzzi & signage sure were expensive ;D
-
Or maybee the buyer will join the Forum
I joined about 6 months after I started up. I was given the link by the bloke I bought the oven cleaning kit from...
-
actually I thought I got a bit of a bargain...
-
thats not the right kind of gear to go and Professionally clean domestic carpets IMO and poss any cleaner on here with the right kind of set up
-
It just goes to show that offering less will definitely return you more... lol
-
I'm so glad I joined this forum...cos that could have been me!! :D
-
sorry luv, puzzi stays in the van you got the vax for the little silk rug ;D
-

Poor buggers not having much luck - Methinks he's too generous setting up businesses for his unreliable family. Perhaps he should make a living trading shabbily converted Super Carrys on eBay. Oh, hang on a minute..
-
I donot know about luck but looking at previous purchases she is one very sexy lady
called Jennifer Mercer Previous Ebay ID

Clinton lol

It's back ;D ;D

this time with a vax too, should shift it over 3 grand methinks ;D ;D
-
I love the bare faced cheek of the words "no timewasters please" at the bottom ofthe ad!
In that case stop trying to sell us a pile of over-marketed junk!!
-
He bought the van over a month ago for £700.
cheeky little bugger tho. and the people buying/placing bids are even worse!

I quite like this ;D ;D though the "engine" looks like it consists of an airhorn and some kind of pump and nothing else.
Got to laugh at the carpet cleaning van, the smallest van on earth "kitted out with all the equipment you need for a successful carpet cleaning business" and still think i could fit half my house in the back.
Some poor sod will parted with a few grand of there redundancy money or savings, but suppose itll be there fault for not researching the business.
-
I love the wording....'The equipment includes a Karcher Puzzi commercial carpet cleaning machine'. LMFAO ;D
Making out that if it can do commercial - then it will easily be able to cope with a 'measly' domestic ;D ;D

Chemdry franchisees have this van as do many tradespeople and I've had one for the past three years. Originally bought to service a retail contract with Texatherm system but also carried a Ninja with all the usual hoses, wands, buckets, etc.
I even managed to fit a Bane unit in it successfully and used that set up for about 2 years.
Currently accommodates a Cheyenne / Sabrina Maxi / 50 feet of vac' and solution hose plus wands and buckets ets.
Fantastic for parking and accessing small areas / pathways.

The Boomerang van!

Think you might have misunderstood my post all I meant was in one of the pics it looks a bit empty in the back even though it was kitted out with all the equipment you need for a successful carpet cleaning business"
Wasnt questioning the van just the sale
-
I'm tempted..............
I could chuck in a Puzzi and the choice of a Prochem Cheyenne or Sabrina Maxi, maybe add on old Dyson and a load of chemicals.
Only problem is...............I don't have the latest technology - the Bex Bissell with HEAT.
-
Yep the Bissell is def the deal breaker here...
