Paul, would you take a Buy It Now? Just won one on eBay only to be told by the seller that it has now been stolen from his lockup, wanted a machine for Christmas

Not much of a lock up Stuart!
The one I have always used has surveillance cameras 24/7 and is staffed for 12hrs a day.
You cannot even gain your own access without being a customer of theirs with a valid account. Key codes changed regularly and they are sent privately to you.
I thought the whole idea of a lock up was to safeguard your goods and equipment in dry clean surroundings???
Do you believe him Stuart?

Andrew, I try to see the good in everyone in the hope that they would treat me the way I treat them. However saying that, it does seem suspect. I think the seller was offered more once the auction ended. Annoying, as I'd like to get a machine sorted for some Christmas shows.

I hope you find what you're seeking Stuart in good time. I also hope you get your Beaulieu sorted out going into the new year and like yourself, that is how I initially view these things, but as you say, it does make you wonder doesn't it?
It's a shame distance isn't kinder to us both regarding this matter as you could have used my twin track until January if I could simply pass it over to you. I will have done all I'd want to on it until the new year by the end of this week. If you are anywhere close to myself in your business between now and Christmas, just let me know.
My only stipulation would be I wouldn't want it traveling through the courier services there or back again. I don't entrust any of them with this type of goods nowadays.

Andrew, that's a very generous offer, thank you. Sadly, I don't think I'll be around your neck of the woods any time soon but I promise you, the next time I am I'll be popping in to drool over your collection!
