Indian sandstone off ebay - Anyone bought some?

[Bobby Spray]

I am looking for a specific indian sandstone (kandala Grey). My missus loves it despite me telling her it all goes green in the end! my local supplier is struggling to get me some and I noticed that there is some on ebay. Has anyone bought stone off here? Has anyone dealt with nustone products from Hull?

Regards

The quality, thickness, colours and prices vary terribly, by buying on line you cant see what you are getting, I'd rather use someone like Darbys (Kent) or similar to source the product for me. You NEED to see what you are getting before it leaves the suppliers yard. Buyer beware.

Indeed - treat ebay with caution. It is often an outlet for poor quality/seconds sold as A1 and stolen gear!

If you can view the stuff beforehand, then great.

Having said that, there is some good stuff on ebay.........but as always, buyer beware.

ebay is good but i would have a good look at it first if its too far away to view dont buy it could be all the mis shapes (lumpy twisted odd sizes) your patio could look terrible if they are no good

Kandala Grey isn't hard to obtain. I saw thirty-odd crates of it only last week in one yard.

I'd be exceptionally wary about buying from traders on EBay unless they had a yard that I could visit and some history in the trade. There's a lot of cheap nasty crap out there, from all sorts of iffy sources, and the shockingly low prices combined with high potential profit margin tend to attract all the wrong sort of people to set themselves up as stone traders.

Shop around; visit yards; speak to local contractors. Don't buy sight unseen!
