I've been approached by a local youth who wants to rent one of my small units.
He has an opportunity to purchase about 5x lorry loads of used motorbike parts from a bike shop that is giving up that part of their business. The stock is being advertised for sale at £6k & they're saying it's worth at least £20k+ when/if sold through eBay & facebook. Included is a fully computerised system of stock control, the eBay account, a certain amount of training & ongoing goodwill !
I've known this lad since he was about the age of 10, he's best described as a scallywag rather than a scrote, but he definately has the letter 'T' tattooed on his forehead, whether that stands for 'Trouble' or 'Turmoil' is down to how you interact with him, but I can say he's never caused me any grief . . . Thus far !
I'm stuck on this one, I've asked around & I'm getting 50/50 signals of yes/no. I've had words with an ex employer who says he's a waster & I've spoken to another who says he's just dry tinder looking for a spark.
I have no idea where he's getting the £6k from & he's already volunteered that he doesn't have any extra £money to put up as security.
I've not met anyone for a long time who is as enthusiastic to grasp an opportunity as this lad when he sat me down & told me his plans for this business.
I'm putting this out there 'cos none of you lot know him. Worst case scenario is I'm stuck with 30tons of scrap metal & the associated costs of clearing the unit, best case scenario is he makes a go of it & comes good?
