How I will sell it: once a price has been agreed, a 50% deposit will be made to me, and then I will come and complete the round with you.

thats not too far from me!thats a shockingly underpriced round.even if you could do the work in a day it would be too low.

as its only been established for a year i reckon he ll be lucky to get £300 for it.

i bet he doesnt clean frames,sills or doors either! ::)roll

But you might be able to earn more by working harder and/or smarter than the seller.
