"In very good unread condition, there is some very slight creasing to the top of the cover"...
words fail me.

 

[Argus]

From the feedback, he seems to specialise in selling old brochures for cars........

Ive dropped him a message, just inquiring whether the sale includes any tools. I will keep you posted, might be onto something here.

Tell him I’ve got one that’s crease free he can have for £30 inc. p&p

 

[MARK.B.]

Just released and very rare

If it helps anyone I can access a supply of new and in pristine condition current Argos Catalogues (full colour) if anyone's interested (and to save postage) collection can be arranged at your local Argos store. BTW Ive not listed on an auction site yet

 

[Bristol_Rob]

Maybe a money laundering scheme or drug dealer.
Very sketchy...

 

[Andy3Sheds]

Think of the nectar points !!

Only a fiver postage too ! wonder how he got 100% good feedback. Must be a lot of stupid people out there !

 

[NickDReed]

But why settle for a current axminster catalogue when you can have...

The Peugeot 205 mardi gras 1994 *SINGLE SHEET* brochure??

 

[whatknot]

Now that might be a profitable line, as they discontinued their catalogue a while back ;-)

Perhaps more valuable than a brand new Axminster catalogue

Money laundering ??, at £39.99 a time

Wow there must be some underworld market in car brochure porn of which we are totally unaware. The other buyers/sellers in his feedback are doing the same thing. I wonder if we missed out on another career as purveyors of car brochure porn. Do you think they have secret meetings in pub backrooms to stare at the latest Jaguar brochures?

Or it's money laundering on a small scale... you'd have to shift a significant number of brochures at £34 a pop to make a dent in your average drug lord's cash pile....

Why not?
It's instant buy - not an auction.

 

[paulrbarnard]

There is a massive buying and selling of all manner of catalogues and brochures. Many are very collectible. Even the ones ‘we’ might consider unworthy of consideration.

The owner of a restored car might pay a lot for an original owners manual or sales brochure. In years to come the person restoring an Axminster band saw might very well love to have a copy of the Axminster catalog listing it new.

The seller here might be a bit ahead of the game from our perspective but nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. The great feature of sales like this is you don’t have to buy.

 

[danst96]

The fellow came back and very politely explained no tools are included in the sale and it is indeed only for the catalog

 

[Terry - Somerset]

In not many years paper catalogues will be as common as shopping lists written with quill pens on parchment - a valued piece of history.

No wonder prices are going up - the seller of the Axi catalogue was clearly once a futures trader in the city - but in a few years time you may be thankful you bought so rare a document at so llow a price!

 

[TRITON]

Why not?

Because people arent needing to launder under 50 quid.
Think about who needs to launder money, and the level of sum they would need to . Ask how you launder money thats in a paypal or bank account in the first place.

Laundering money from drugs is sums in the thousands, many thousands, and they cant readily place those into a bank account, beyond dribs and drabs.
So even considering it is laundering, who the F*** would be offsetting such ill gotten gains on a worthless tool catalog

 

[Terry - Somerset]

It is the seller of the catalogue who may be laundering money, not the buyer.

I set up as an ebay trader. I buy large quantities of bulk rubbish (not an Axi catalogue of course - I pick those up as a freebie when I visit the store). I sell it to accounts I set up at vastly inflated prices.

The bank see a successful ebay trader. Buy in bulk and sell separate items. Something legitimate (and not so legitimate) traders do. The taxman sees a profitable business on which tax is paid.

What's the problem?
