Anyone looking for quick cash

I put this in wanted but thought it might be relevant here?

I need to put some cash to one side for a sizeable tax bill in circa 18 months. I am wracking my brains for an idea to utilise it.
I wondered this, is anyone needing to sell something (most likely recent machinery), quickly to get out of a jam? I would be interested in a proposal of some such item with a definite value, which is almost certain to be able to be resold easily within the 18 months.
I am talking of items up to a value of £200,000.
Does this make sense?

Cheers

Mark

Why a risk to buy a 7210r at a discount?

Even assets can disappear

I would stick to investing in something you have possession of really - 200knin classic cars 2 years ago would be at least 250 today plus 2 years of enjoyment !

What's a £200k Classic Car wrapped round a telegraph pole worth?

£200k if you insured it properly

I suppose combines would be the ideal thing. Buy at a discount now, as they finish the seasons work, store them for nine months, then shift them on when there's demand next June/July.
If you're really brave, hang on to it into harvest, and cash in on someone's insurance payout when their's goes up in flames!

That was the lines I was thinking of, just a tractor is more saleable.

Tbh- the safest simplest one would be - buy the cows (in calf, spring cambers) that are already on the extra farm we are buying near by, calv them, then sell them this time next year leaving us with a crop if calves. Trouble is, the business partener (wife) says it will be too much work on top of what we already have and she may have a point.
Might be a compromise in there somewhere, like buying his stores to fatten, alongside ours

Ha ha. My sale came through, hence this thread. So I am out of there still remaining under the cosy eu blanket - so I don't mind how you voted

Roll over the proceeds from your sale and buy the place next door to Bossfarmer

Could then sell it on for a profit in a few years time when all the big dairy neighbour's are back in the game paying silly money.

Would be worth it for the entertainment value on here alone!

Buy yourself a steam engine. 200k would easily get you a good agricultural engine with some change. 'Farm equipment' aswell. Sit on it for a while and see yourself a profit.

Hi Ryan, My mum is pretty poorly in Kettering hospital. I flew to east mids last Saturday to visit her. I made a mid evening drive around the Harborough villages, ffs, passed three corsa type cars with blacked out windows parked on quiet roads. You could be correct.

However, a bit by stealth, plan A came to fruition and we have bought most of the retiring farmers stock. Will calv, grow through next year and see what needs selling to make the tax bill

Yeah, you should read some of the local press, Harborough has turned into a serious sh!t hole, rape, robbery, paedo's etc,
I'm glad your sorted, am I to assume you sold the land in the end?
I was going to suggest a building plot to build on and sell...seems to work for the people we do it for!
Hope your mum is ok, and you and the rest of the family!

You should know the answer Mark , buy as many mk1 scrotes as you can find... they aren't making any more .

Why not contact a reputable financial advice company.
We have money invested through a company called Joslin Rhodes, and are getting up to 8 % return on some of it

8%?! That seems very good. Is that a sizeable lump some or just small amounts.

Reasonable amounts spread over a wide range of investment
Depends on your level of risk as to how much you earn

My Lloyds bank investment portfolio did 10% last year, with nothing very risky in it.

As sods law goes. You would end up buying a cheap tractor from a struggling farmer knowing you can make 5k Two month later high court enforcment turn up to reposses it as the farmer borrowed against it with killer whale loan shark co.
