[QUOTE="JP1, post: 257299, member: 54"] Interesting observation. Speak as I find, I'm glad to say I had a different experience, as have several folks I've recommended It's true he'll not always have in stock what anyone wants as containers are such a specific thing and the older ones on his website might stick a bit but over the years Jon's sold hundreds of new containers and bought and sold secondhand of all ages, bought in and part exchange. Some of the two year old wagon and drag combinations he's bought from the likes of the Jeff Conway retirement would be way out of my league. He also does a lot of conversion work This is the Houghton container I bought from Jon. It was originally 30ft and he cut it down to 26ft, repainted it, fitted a one piece cow door with wheel on swing end and slam lock and converted the front decks so the cow door would store against the head board. It had 8ft hydraulic run-up and the original container I bought from him was £4,000 + VAT. To my mind a very good buy compared with a new one at around £1200 / ft run. Jon bought it back off me a few years later for what I paid for the container (excluding the conversion works). I thought I had a very fair deal TBH[ATTACH=full]25631[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
