Shady Goods

[raceboy]

Right we can all spout the idealistic view of ‘if no one bought stolen goods then no one would steal them’ but sorry this is never going to happen the grey economy is just to large to be stopped, so this got me thinking what’s the dodgyest, or strangest thing you’ve been offered in the pub, on the street, in the car park, etc, you’ve led a sheltered life if you’ve never had the offer of a warm video recorder, snide Armanis, or pirate video’s/DVD’s.
To start the ball rolling a Police issue stab vest was an unusual offer, the seller definitely not being an out of work copper.
So come on I’m sure the shadier characters on here must have been offered some gems, and did you buy them?
Or do I just go in the wrong pubs, and associate with the wrong crowd

A Pallet full of girls (8-10 year old) Asda pyjamas by "George" all the same colour, size and style! errrrrrrrrrr no thanks

Nappies!

The guy had a van Full!
(buy two packs of nappies and get a free pack of wet wipes)

Hmmmm!

Me thinks that the 'Nappy Lady' might have had her van turned over.

I know where you can buy the legit, at a Surplus Suppliers. obviously not 'surplus' they sell the old make/model when the boys in blue get an upgrade.

A Rover 400 at the services on the M6. Why would I want one of those? And if I did, why would I buy one off a dodgy geezer at the services?

[pawsmcgraw]

not hot goods(don't think) but the weirdest thing i ever got offered was a tile from the space shuttleProbably a momento from someone at nasa.Bezzzzare

[Big_M]

I'm a feeling left out here - maybe I don't go in the right/wrong pubs. All I've ever been offered was a couple of dead rabbits and a pheasant.

Some bloke tried to sell me heroin when I was about 15 or 16 . . . it could have been coffee grinds for all I'd know though!

[sparkey]

A schoolgirl, guaranteed to be a virgin, who would turn up at my room within an hour (in Tokyo - strange people the Japanese)

Guy selling fireworks in the car park of local Supermarket today - he's only two weeks to late.

Bloke who turned up outside out house when I was sweeping the drive once with a Transit van full of TVs and videos.

I had once of each. Worked OK, but they weren't Panasonics they were BUSHs with Panasonic badges on. Doh!

Had to get a new remote for each from a dealer.

Never again!

[elanturbo]

a brand new electric bass guitar for £20.
Suprised by the price, I said 'how much?!'
He replied with, 'ok, 15.'

Two blokes in a blue transit pulled up next to me one dark evening last year, said they had a load of AV gear in the back that was going spare from a job they had been doing asked if I fancied any of it.

Needless to say I told them to F**K off.

D.

The last person to approach me was someone with no less than 17 chain saws!?

Used to get simmilar when I lived in college - the van would actually come up to the college entrance stopping and asking all the students going in and out!!!

Well, not exactly me, but my father: nuclear warheads in Berlin 1990-ish

Your Dad wins. contest over.

Got two or three left over from that deal - interested?

Back at college on Comic Relief night a load of us were sat in someone's room watching the "hilarious" charity event passing a joint round, then there's a knock on the door. Thinking "Shit! Security!" we lobbed the joint out the window.

It was actually 2 guys flogging cheap aftershave. It was fine, until about 2 weeks later when it turned back to meths. Last we saw of the guys was them being chased across campus by a gang of security guards...

Krug Baumen watch - £50. broke down after 3 years, sent it to the manufacturer and they sent me a new one as replacement - either a "warm" product or a fake one that they missed, either way, brand new Krug watch - result!!
