The price isn't bad, but what about the bees and hives? / cedar or ten years old diy ply does make a difference!
I'd be interested in hearing more, especially about the back-story. It is an odd (unbusiness-like?) time to be selling.
And yes, if someone is selling-up entirely, then there ought to be a load of other interesting bits.

Do you have the van?

He was also asking about getting others to share in a truck-load of some sort.
Now, Biddenden isn't all that far, is it?
