It appears to be quite a good source for finding various things, including cars, sold as job lots or which are sold off as part of company going into administration etc. I haven't watched much that has gone through to full term, but even with the buyers premium on some sales, items seem cheaper than their eBay equivalents

Has anyone used it before from PH?

Just looked, very tempted by the collapsible fridge. And some winches. Must... not... look....again

Used it a lot buying machine tools - the definite plus over ebay is all listings are from legitimate companies selling so no phantom goods. Seen things go for crazy prices and also bought some bargains - depends a lot how good the seller is sometimes at the presentation. Some of the insolvancy companies who list havent a flippin clue what the asset is and put up one crappy photo using an iphone when it's a £40k cnc lathe. Remember not only is there is a buyers premium it's a B2B site so sales prices are plus VAT

Yes, a few times. Only had one problem where the large heavy item went 'missing'. Other than that one off incident, everything else was straight forward.
