Just noticed it on Farcebook, not sure if it was flagged up on here so apologies if this is a repost.

V12 in Liverpool robbed, shite times. Keep your eyes peeled for cheap gear.

Cheers. It was mainly metalware. Lots of bd, dmm, Metolius and some link cams. Lots of dmm wall nuts/offsets/brass/torque nuts and a few wc wires. A couple Gri Gri and gridlock magnetron... Then plenty of dmm quickdraws and a few carabiners/ropes/rope bags.

I saw someone on UKC selling a "full unused rack" with tags... Lots of DMM. Probably legit but worth having a look.

My first thoughts also. Probably nothing to it but worth investigating I guess.

Oh aye.. I forgot the myo rxp and tikka2 core and a pair of apex axes too. Had a look at said sale and although some of it matches missing stock, many others don't such as the aero wires, rope and 2nd 1-11 wallnut set (plus they posted it on 6th dec and it happened last tues night!).

Really appreciate people keeping an eye out for dodgy looking sales though. I imagine if said thieves have any sense, they will try and shift it in smaller batches as opposed to one huge flash sale.

Thanks Fultonious for the heads up.

If anybody sees or hears of any suspicious sounding deals being offered please get in touch with Rich, myself or anybody at the Llanberis branch.
