Only wanted the bandsaw and beam saw really!! What did I tell you, Holmz? Apparently, I'm not the only one here who saw where the real value was because those were the only tools that really caught my eye, as well.
Very nice haul, indeed! Congratulations! Where are you located, Gregg?

I have been offered the same tools for a purchase price, buy it now, of £3000 including shipping. He has owned the tools for a while and they are in excellent condition. Unfortunately the seller is not able to put up a photo of the bottom of the mks185 because it is already all packaged ready for shipping. He was however able to show me the photos of the original ebay listed. He would like payment as soon as possible so we can conclude our business.
My question to the learned folk on here .... Who thinks that I might not be talking to our newest forum member ?

Where is the URL link? These tools are a lot £ , and it can be a good deal or it could end in tears. Hopefully the ebay seller is well established.

The original seller was called Howard. I had a chat with him during his original ebay listing. I let him know about the relisting.
This is his reply.
Dear matt
Hi.
Thanks for letting me know. What are they listed under as I can't see this listing. My tools sold and have been paid for and collected.
eBay have already removed 1 scammer who copied and listed my ad. He was based in Wallasey.
What ever you do don't bid on these.
Howard
--------------
Dear Sir, Did you sell these tools for £7450 ? A gent in aberdeen is now listing them at £3000. If it is you I will be happy to purchase.
I look forward to hearing from you. My best regards Matt
Suggest all leave well alone.
Admins / mods, would you please be so kind as to amend the thread title to include "Scam alert" please ? Thanks in advance Matt

re: >>>> SCAM ALERT <<<<
I have now amended this thread to indicate our suspicion of malfeasance in regard to the Mafell tool eBay auction listing that ended on February 1, 2016.
In all fairness, it should be made clear that the original seller seems entirely blameless in this matter and, in fact, it's the disreputable work of a con artist or two that has made it necessary to warn the MUF boards about this.
If you happen to see a listing -- now or in the future -- that apparently contains the tools depicted in the original post of this thread, you would be well-advised to proceed with extreme caution.
As always, be safe... Red
