T&T: [Fwd: B.A. chart & imo nautical publication supplier]

[Mike Maurice]

I am in receipt of the following email, which was followed within a few 
hours by two phone calls from the author, in Bangladesh. I don't have 
any requirement for the materials being offered, although if I had the 
place to store more stuff, I might be so inclined.

I can't vouch for the reliability of this source, but as I understand 
they collect IMO pubs and British Admiralty pubs from ships being 
scrapped in that part of the world. It was difficult understanding the 
phone conversation even though it was in English, but this seems to be a 
completely legitimate offer, if a bit unorthodox. This might be a 
suitable source for these materials at a reasonable price.

I am wary of passing these kinds of inquiries along since I don't wish 
to be a conduit for scams. But this seemed legit; you are welcome to 
make your own inquiry. The individuals that I talked to on the phone 
seemed to be sincere and wanted to be helpful, but the problems of 
dialect and scratchy phone connections argues for using email. I checked 
the web and the location is the second largest seaport in that part of 
the world and the name is associated with a real place.

Before making a purchase you would want to know the age and condition of 
the materials.

Perhaps someone on the forum has some experience with this contact.
