Here I go, for a second time. Yes, I got scammed the first time and I’m still pursuing it, but life goes on. If I don’t order another mini excavator about now I won’t have it for the spring and I then won’t be able to start the work I have lined up around my house and garden.<\/p>\n

I’ve got the swimming pool to put in for starters plus lots of other jobs which when you add them all together would mean that having my own excavator will be less expensive than keep hiring one in, which would inevitably mean hiring a man as well at a total cost of over 200\u20ac a day. And at the end I’ll have it to sell, probably at a profit depending on what the final cost will be of importing one and getting it delivered to my home.<\/p>\n

This time I’ve covered myself by going for what appears to be a reputable supplier through Alibaba and using Alibaba trade insurance to secure my funds. Once everything’s signed, sealed and delivered I’ll go into the process and costs more fully but for now all I’ll say is that the machine has cost about the same as the one I was scammed on and the Alibaba insurance only $100 more, so well worth it I think.<\/p>\n

But this morning I have to decide on the machine’s colour. This supplier offers an excellent range, including light and dark grey, black, green and blue as well as orange and yellow. I was leaning towards the yellow but now I’m not so sure. The orange does look really striking I think.<\/p>\n
