[QUOTE="Tim G, post: 9045196, member: 117"] A friend sent me an advert he'd seen on facebook for a small bulk tank for £250. I looked at the pictures and realised it was a cheese vat, not a bulk tank and only two villages away. Shot up there the next day and got it bought, I'm not much of a haggler but offered 200 for it and he accepted. I'd taken the £250 in cash so had £50 left in my pocket, he also had an incomplete semi automatic yoghurt potting machine which he was wanting £150 for and I bid a checky 50 for it. He thought about it for a bit and I got that too. It was no good to me but the company that made it are local to me and that is who I get my milk bottles from. They wanted it for parts and gave me £200 for it, so I ended up with a 500 litre cheese vat which was also full of cheese molds, cheese press arms, scales and various other bits. Oh, and an electric yoghurt/cream pot sealer made by the same local company which they reckon are worth £1500. Total outlay of £50. I was offered £4000 for the vat a few weeks later (I didn't take it, the vat is still here ready to use one day). Don't think I'll get another deal like that in my lifetime. [/QUOTE]
