Yes. As a timber framer, this is about as close to sleaze as it gets.

A friend of mine in the UK and I put our heads together on this one and, after exchanging messages and phone calls with the owner, we concluded that the auction would end a bit too high to justify the expenses of hiring someone to go to the seller's location, carefully palletize the tools and then export them (read: local sale only). In the end, my friend thought it was a good deal for timber framer in the local area.
Nevertheless, this is the Mafell Users Forum, so someone here among us might have seen it differently.

I saw that, is it a different seller or just the same one re listing. Maybe the sale fell through!

The first listing on eBay was legitimate as I won them!! All tools are in mint condition not missing any paint on bases and all sharp!!! What should the be worth?
