Default buyer beware,

Hi, Just returned from seeing what he had there for sale, he has about 16 trollies each with four wheels, I bought two trollies off ebay and he let me collect together the best carrier spoked type wheels off various trollies the spoked carrier wheels are all british made. I paid £23 each for them so it was worth the drive, it cost £100 in diesel to get them, so in all £33 each for a good rubber wheel is fair.

What he has left and now re advertised wanting £250 a trolly is just perished and cracked rubber wheels. If there were any more worth having I would of bought them.

However I suppose he has about 18 or so really good rubber round hole wheels, I bought one for evaluation and will examine it for markings tomorrow, but on first clance they wont accept a carrier bearing, but he did have a couple of round hole wheels which were 19" profile, so they must be made for a carrier style vehicle????.

I dout if he will sell them at that price and anyone who turns up to buy them will be disapointed in the spoked style carrier wheels.

As soon as I saw he had relisted them as carrier wheels i had to get down there to have first pickings, glad i did.

I have more carrier wheels now than you can poke a stick at, I have about 20to go on the bonfire to remove the rubber.

There must be a picture somwhere with these round hole style carrier wheels in use.

Kevin
