Guys this advert just goes to show what a wide range or perceptions people have of a carpet cleaner or carpet cleaning business on one hand a guy whose kit sucks the dirt out of 17 floors up on a cruise ship and another like this chap who aint even got a puzzi 100 to hand.It doesnt say which machine he hires so maybe when he actually gets to the jobs he looks and performs like a professional but for me the first thing on the list surely is a machine or am i missing something.Regards a confused Alan(swindon)

I have noticed a lot of people on ebay buy and sign write a 500 quid van ,, buy a few chems and a pressure washer and try to sell it as a valeting business for similar money . This guy takes the  biscuit with not even a machine.

Selling due to Ill heath!!!! That old chestnut.

"Due too illness and reluctanltly my profitable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Business is up for sale"
Apparently, ‘reluctanltly’ can be a terrible disease!  ::)

He has nothing to sell other than an old high-miler van. Buy form this illiterate, fantasist, lying moron at your peril.

I would like to smack him over the head with his stupid pink vac.

SIR!!! How could this.............. I'm off my bloods starting to boil

Matt you took the words out of my mouth about "due to ill health" I seen that so much I think its code for "I aint making no money and I'm in debt"

The funnest bits "come round for a chat so we can talk about what I have achieved"
 ;D ;D

not sure you can charge extra for vacuuming when the customers vacuums better than yours! :o

and didn't it say he never bought a machine because he spent so much on branding and stationary! so at least your get some good compliment slips with 'your new business'.

I like the bit where he says it comes with:

# Original Fiat Sterio

As if the original one would be better than any other one, ha ha!

The best bit is on their website where it says 'Confident in cleaning' I mean this says to me the complete opposite if you have to tell eveyone!! Almost like 'I am confident - really I am' ....pmsl!!

is it just me but if you look at the van long enough, the front half looks like it doesn't belong to the rear half ???

Please could someone who lives in or around Crewe find this man, then drive over him, repeatedly.

It’s a bit far for me to travel.

We clean down the skirting boards to.
sounds very sloppy to me, must be overspraying
all over the place.
8k is alot for an old van, a carp hoover and some
bits of paper.
Using latest technology  ;D, provided no one else
has already hired it :D

its back and its cheaper with added, "make me an offer" button.

300 for the van and a tenner for the vac ;D he can keep the website, i'm sure mark could get higher than that rank for a lot more keyphrases.
