    So they're out of the market and selling cookers to compete with DID, or do I smell a rat ? The wording and setup look strange but there's no scam - YET :rolleyes:

    Business model was shagged, print version long gone and Dinny clearly didn't buy it for no reason: http://www.independent.ie/business/media/denis-obrien-subsidiary-acquires-buy-and-sell-30333378.html

    How they think its a logical brand name for what will clearly be rebranded Turkish kit like Nordemende, Walker, etc I've no idea.

    Looks like they are ditching the ads selling second junk and dodgy stuff from private sellers where there is no protection for the buyer and instead becoming a marketplace for companies that sell products especially small traders.

    Whilst there probably will still be plenty of junk at least consumer law will cover purchases
