Ian did say that judging by the response on Ebay for Gardiner poles he would hope to get that.

I think this is a more specialised tool for a specialised application so it probably won't be that easy to find a buyer.
I think the new clamps and metal clamping rings and new brush are big pluses for buying new.
From a tax WDA as Capital equipment he would write down 40% in the first year and then 18% in the second year from the new pool with the new tax year (pole is 18 months old.) So tax wise his pole would be valued by the receiver at £640 in his business.
It would be interesting to see how an ex used car salesman gets on with this one. A used pink Ferrari comes to mind.
