Another good example of this is when a chap pulled up at another hotel I worked for saying he had 30 Duvets to sell were we interested they were left over from a delivery and he was basically going to sell them for cash and say they were spoiled. The fact that he was telling this to me the girl on the desk set off warning bells from the start. However good the bargain it is never worth taking on goods in this situation as they will then technically be stolen and the last thing you need is a conviction for receiving stolen goods which can prevent you from getting all sorts of permits and licences for your business.
