    Default Based in London & am selling ALL my TOOLS (moving abroad & giving up the tiling)!

    Hi All, this is my first post on this forum. I am about to move to the Canaries to become a full time SCUBA diving instructor (I know, shocking behaviour isn't it!) and am therefore no longer in need of all my tiling gear. I only got into the game in late 2009 so it is all pretty new and in good nick. I've got some lovely tools and have spent quite a few quid on them since setting up my business.

    I am based in North London and am looking to sell everything in the next couple of weeks so thought that if I join this forum and let you guys know, then you may be able to help put me in touch with a buyer(s).

    I am willing to sell some of the bigger items individually but ideally, I would be keen to sell the job lot!

    Without writing the longest list ever, here are the main items:
    • QEP Big Clinker Tile Cutter 610mm
    • Vitrex 750 Versatile Power Pro Wet Cutter
    • Brand New Vitrex 'Hi-Glaze' Blade
    • Rubi Pocket-40 Tile Cutter (With Case)
    • Vitrex Torque Master 450W Radial Wet Cutter
    • Spirit level set (some are Stabila)
    • Silverline Planer 710W
    • AEG 600W Angle Grinder inc 2 new Diamond Blades
    • Electric Mixer
    • 2 x Stanley Tool Storage Boxes
    • Brand New Jigsaw (and blades), used once
    • Reciprocating Saw 850W (& new blade)
    • Bosch Cordless Drill
    PLUS - all the other little magical things that us tilers need /
    use.....spatulas, screw drivers, hammer, rubber mallet, 'Ardex'
    sponges (some not used), buckets, grout float (new), various adhesive
    spreaders, tile scribe, various sized metal rulers, tape measure, set square,
    hack saw (inc new blades), stanley knife, small mitre box, file, spanners,
    silicone gun, safety goggles, 20 pairs of protective gloves, knee pad
    inserts, size 10 steel toe cap boots (6 weeks old), size 34 waist
    work-pants, chalk-line reel set, dustmasks, etc, etc, etc!

    I guess my questions tonight are:

    1. Is there anywhere on this forum where you think I may get any joy with selling my gear?
    2. Is there anyone reading this who wants to get in touch and discuss taking them off my hands?

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Richard

    Qualified scuba diving tiler? Missed oportunites here Richard. Airfreight your tiling gear to the Canaries. All those swimming pools needing underwater repairs..... big, big money for the canniest tradesman.
