I thought that myself, but think they were just tring to stop me finding out what they paid for it, I put in an offer for it and will see what happens but not going any higher than what I offered as it does need work inside..

Polish couple selling the link boat, wouldnt let me take photos or tell me any history about the boat, they recon they buy them do them up a bit and sell them. I asked for the river liscence number and they wouldnt give me that either... Walk away.

As Stabby said.
If it was a car you'd never go for it at that money without seeing the V5 and some service history.

Is that better? (look up) 'Postage' from Birmingham. Better make sure it's registered and signed for. It will need a few rolls of bubble wrap and brown parcel paper.

That's the area, same part of Brom. Never know, could be an 'honest' sale, boat looks cosy - but how can a seller not tell anything of the history, and refuse to tell the licence number? Hull survey paperwork? Proof of ownership or permission from owner to sell?

Hull survey paperwork? Proof of ownership or permission from owner to sell? I think they just don't want people finding out what they paid for it, the hull is fantastic from what I can see and it has a good lister engine too, I have put in an offer for it but they are not droping the price so will see what they do as it needs a good bit of work inside and I am not going any higher than what I offered..

If you took photos of the boat (and there are photos in the Ebay advert anyway), surely people on Canalworld recognise the boat? How about asking over there? Was there not a number on the side? CRT would then know something of this boat (unless it's EA or Bridgewater).
Our boat was a private sale but we knew (still do) the previous owner, and the boat came with it's history, service history, etc. and I even contacted the previous owners who sent me photos of it when they had it.

No registration plate or numbers anywhere, or name. Not using canalworld, I have posted there before and everyone posts on your links about everything except what you have asked about..
