I'd guess most of thr time refurbished means powered on checked it works and relist


Years ago when I played with mowers I used to do oil filter spark plug oil the cables etc before going up for sale
I dought most did that unless they where in dealers places

No dealer has bought it and added cleaning tax

No good for me because I wanted 30mm capacity not 25mm and I needed to remind myself that I’m closed and don’t need junk

Other possibility is it is not the same machine but the second seller has stolen the picture. I’ve seen it often with specialised test equipment.

If it doesn't there is always Duct Tape and if that doesn't work use more Duct Tape.

Very rare machine so unlikely. From experience dealers will try and resell before collection and you end up doing the loading for the dealer that’s just made £££ for doing nowt

There's a familiar name, bowland trading..
I cant remember what machine I had dealings with them over, but it was unpleasant enough to remember their name as a hard swerve...

Low end car dealers are no different, roll a turd in glitter ( I think its called valeting) and stick it on the forecourt for three times its real value.

One of those not too far from here. VERY cracked concrete forecourt, broken low concrete wall along the front. Weeds and buddleia growing in cracks. Shabby office, and the owner/salesman is a dodgy looking archetypical slimy used car sales type. High prices for 20 year old cars. I am surprised they sell anything really. I often wonder if its a cover for something else.

We had a local one in the 80's that would blow the cars over in "knacker lacquer" as my mate called it, the cars looked lovely and shiny when you bought them, until the lacquer started peeling off a few weeks later.

Around here, those cars are being put out at £3-£5k. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Knacker lacquer, adds lustre to your cluster.
