    Hi guys im new to the forum
    Im currently working on a council project fitting altro to kitchens, supply and fit. last year i found a guy on ebay selling walkway 20 for a £5m2. Its not A+ but A- grade- visually perfect but it could mean the rolls are a little smaller or theres a tear init somewhere. Bargain i thought so i started ordering large quantities from him. never had a problem until i gave him a deposit on the last order and he hasnt shown up. ive found him again now on ebay different name and number.
    Does anybody know where he was getting it from? the only details he ever told me was it was a warehouse up north somewhere.

    Don`t know the guy but....
    I used to work for a charity group. They often got options on Altro, seconds, one off colors etc.
    They used to pay £3 a mtr.

    I was watching the film Snatch the other night. It`s amazing how easy caravans catch fire.
