    Default Help needed near Maitland please

    Hi all,
    I posted this in the Metalworking section (my usual haunt) but since i don't really need the help of a metalworker and i know we can be a scary bunch to visit so i thought i'd throw it in here too.

    I need someone to go and take some photo's of a machine for me, I'm REALLY keen on buying it but the seller doesn't have a digital camera, only a "real" one and can't send me any photo's. The machine is located in Maitland.
    Rest assured i will pay the favor forward to another needy soul.
    Any help would be appreciated,

    Cheers,
    Ewan

    Uee,

    Could you get the seller to ask his neighbour / nephew / friend / local boy scouts / newspaper boy / milkman / postman to take some digital photos and email them to you ?

    DON"T DO IT EWAN, he'll cut your grass, he won't take a photo he'll just take the machine
    I know this guy, he's a bad man. What sort of machine is it? Make sure he has one or he'll
    swipe this from under you.

    I've never seen this man before in my life. It's obviously a cunning ploy to try and get you to tell him what sort of machine it is.
    Beware the Hama. Heed him at your peril.

    Ooh, another brawl starting. Could get interesting. Moderators at twenty paces sorting out the "I saw it first", "finders keepers", "Sorry, it was sold by the time I got there" etc.
    Just kidding, but a bit curious as to what type of machine it is.
    This forum is great, with so much help available from those who have either previous experience, knowledge of "where to get it", "come over to my place, I will help you fix it" or organising working bees etc., plus having what appears to be the whole country covered as to someone being close enough to inspect a bit of gear by remote control as in this case.
    Hope everything works out as as intended, and only ideas get pinched.

    Stay safe, and have fun.

    Alan...
