A nice set up on flee bay

Didn’t think he would last long :'(

Sensibly priced too.
Is he local to you Len?
-
What happened there?
That's probably over £30k of van and machine and probably less than 5 years old :o
-
vans worth £3300 at best, that means he is pricing the machine at £10k.
its £3k over priced
-
Vans worth nearer 6k and the truck is worth 6k so its priced there abouts imo
-
ebay has loads listed around £3.3k (not the best way to value a van but it give an indication) I don;t think you can sell an entry level 2nd hand truckmount for over £6k..... over the last few months truckmount have been selling for silly cheap money
-
Mick the van has only 57k on it and the truck 236 hours so very little use. For those reasons i think its a good price and if some one was in the market for a decent set up then i would go for this one.
-
Depends if you are looking to buy a bargain or just ready to go to work, personally I'd say £10k may be £11k but after that I'm oot.

what makes you think he's failed Len?
-
If he's selling his kit after only 1 or 2 years that usually the case.
I know one guy who had a nice new set up (TM) even after 2 years In business, one time told me he had only earn £90 in the last two weeks.
This is a common story.
-
Over 100 of those vans sold at auction this week with lower miles and fully serviced, valeted no signage , none were over 3.5 k

anyone who says this shouldn't be self-employed
i could be dropped into any town in England and could find more than £90 of work within 30mins
-
well ive just been on his website and it looks like he has an 09 van as well. maybe he's upgrading as the 57 plate is getting on a bit.
-
Mike I agree, but some people never learn and adapt as it's not what you think it's going to be when you start out.
Il bet there's a lot on here not even hitting 30k turnover.
-
30k ! How much? You could buy large parts of Sheffield for that amount it's very very poor up here, what would you do with all of that money? In fact you could buy Doncaster and still have change :o

He jumped in with both feet I think also think he may be down sizing to a porty, small van on his drive and still a web site, though this must be change tm V porty ;)
I wish john all the best

I know who bought it, and I know why he's selling.
He got a bit of a bargain there... :-)
