    ha very good advice, went to see one advertised in a local paper a few months ago and walked when i saw the large hire stickers slapped all over the machine, thought a digger for £500 was to good to be true

    Could be the hire company had sold it off?

    I mean, if you stole a digger from a hire company to sell on, surely the first thing you'd do is remove all the stickers?

    Should have been easy enough to phone up the hire company to see if it was legit - or to tell them where to find their missing digger?!

    Ex-hire diggers are sold all the time, what else do you think the hire company does with it's older ones?

    very doubtful it was a bargain i missed out on, not a scratch on a digger and only £500, a nicked opne i think!

    You can, but I wouldn't get anything less than 1 ton. It will not be much bigger so you can still get inside buildings and you will have more reach and power.

    Mini diggers hold their price well so they're never very cheap unless they're stolen.

    That's the best idea, l-c; buy one , use it, and sell it on.

    (Personally, I think BFS should report the dodgy one he saw to the 'owners' and when they recover it, he could ask them for a loan for being a good citizen... :))
