Someone on FB Marketplace selling 20 x M14x2.0 for £20, not sure if it is a scam or not but it would be worth for someone close by to go in person to check it out. I am too far... Canada :-(

On the balance of what is shown, I would say slightly more likely genuine, than a scam.

Second hand.
Still unsold after 3 months.
Many St Ives residents have money dropping out of their pockets. Maybe just wants rid.

On the other hand, are they stolen ?


EDIT.

Sorry, think I got the wrong St. Ives.
Assumed it to be Mayfair-on-Sea, Cornwall, but instead it might be the namesake in Cambridgeshire.
Is that a wealthy place? I don't know.

if they are not a scam they are definitely a good buy as I was in Cheltenham last week visiting my daughter and saw those but only at the end of the week and didn't have time to drive over there before leaving. I was at the AM dealership in town that week and each wheel nuts are 13.90 bgp so yes a very good deal indeed that is why I pass it on here as someone must be close to that location to go in person

'drive over there' - Where, to St Ives?
Neither Cambridgeshire, nor even Cornwall, are very near Cheltenham.

I suspect distance is all relative Jon. Relative to Canada they are all right next door to each other.

As for if its worth the air fare to save £20 a lug, well that's an entirely different debate biggrin

We are definitely not afraid to drive a few hours... Toronto to me is about 5hrs away and Montreal 2hrs and we go to Montreal on a regular basis. I believe it takes about 11hrs just to go border to border in Ontario alone.
