Title: Interesting Gumtree posting...

Found this while browsing on my coffee break. Anyone with spare cash and looking to cement Albury/Wodonga as the camper trailer/hybrid building centre of the universe, look here.

Where do I sign up?  ;D

Jokes aside, it could be a good camper... similar to some already out there based on what they already have, but options always help.

...What concerns me is that they are looking for investors to help them finish their first camper, which apparently already has a customer waiting for it. Uh, why would I be footing the bill for this build if you already have a customer lined up? And if that is what's going on, then when can I expect you to finish my camper as promised (at half the retail price)... or will you run out of money first? Hm.

Hey it could be a legit couple of guys onto a good thing. Maybe.

WTF?

"we are needing to get it finished due to having customer waiting on the finished product , for your $10000 investment you will be buying this new camper at less then half the retail price (retail $20,000)"

Your buying this trailer, or the customer is buying this trailer?

Retail price? You haven't finished one yet?

Yeah your paying for their R&D so if it dosent work. Guess what you have a 10k box trailer with a lot of spare parts laying around.

But In saying that good to see aussies still have the balls to give it ago against the Chinese market.
Would want some serious conditions in the contract if I was going to sign up though   

I wonder if myswag could even do a fun raising drive for them to get them going. Just a thought.

Could be a good idea? maybe they could if all things going well put one up for raffle for server donations. Pending how much money we could raise for them of course

Sounds great..
Investor + the customer + the forum are all getting the same 1 trailer.

 :cup: why sell a trailer only once when you can sell it 3 times!

...Why don't they just do what everyone else does and start up a Kickstarter or GoFundMe campaign?  ;D

My guess is that it might have something to do with not really even being able to get the wording right in their add in gumtree.

Shouldn't this have been put under the daily scam thread?
