Hi,
I'm just starting up and have only found this forum in the last week. I have found it invaluable already.

I just bought a secondhand Diamondback that was advertised on the forum. The seller was looking for £400 and he got £400 what's more he drove 100+ miles to meet me half way for the pick up.
We had pleasant dialogue regarding the sale on this site, and a quick chat about carpet cleaning when we met up. the machine works great and both of us are happy. Gentleman's buisiness no less! So we're not all Fools!... looks like the person that started this thread is the only ***L here.

well, there's a coherent, intelligent, well thought-out arguement. It's nice to be able to discuss things in a rational, adult manner, isn't it? Incidentally, a "fool" is one who subverts convention or varies from social conformity in order to reveal a spiritual or moral truth" so thanks for the compliment 

Once again Cleanng Co with all sincerity good luck in your new pastures hope it works out for you

So being nice doesn't work with you. I must have touched a raw nerve! I suggest you take your special pills and lie down in a darkened room.


There now follows a rant - please skip it if you have anything better to do.

For pity's sake - "lmfco"!  : you're supposed to be a adult (well your profile says your 38 years old, anyway)

Just in case anyone else is wonderering, "LMFOC" stands for "laughing my F***ing C**K off". I only know because I rang my 15 year old niece to find out.

The point i already made was you have no idea who you're talking to or indeed, as has beome apparent, what you're talking about.

For instance, the assertion that you've made more money than me in ten years than i ever will. Not being blessed with a crystal ball, and therefore being unable to predict how much money I will ever make, I can't really argue there, although after twenty years doing this I find it very unlikely, given that I appear to charge twice what you do.

But hell if your that rich, give me the van and equipment at a discount (go on you can afford it )

There are some fine people on this board. Unfortunately, you're not one of them and as you're leaving the profession having made your "fortune" most honest, decent cleaners can breathe a sigh of relief.

Once again, good luck in your new ventures, as you are going to need it.

or, in your teen text language, FO

Gary, Mr King is one of our valued customers and I'll stick my neck out and say he is probably one of the most succesful carpet cleaners in the North East. I used to be honoured to service  some of his clients when he went on holiday, however now he has expanded and taken on more staff I don't have the pleasure
Why don't you just decide what you want for your kit and advertise it.
Or are you enjoying the wind up?

ive made more money than u ever will in carpet cleaning

How on earth do you know that?
Are you his accountant?
