Am I alone in never having heard MSM describe his stores as equipment rental businesses? I've only heard pawn shops, which he didn't get into until late 2012. In May 2011 he announced speddos.com was to be launched with hundreds of new item photos. But it wasn't until 2013 that speddos.com was updated - prior to that it was the same as the site he used for speddoshire as early as 2005. The update included new category links for unsecured cash loans, gold, etc - more pawn store sounding stuff. Sometime after that speddos.com had its account suspended by the provider. I'm not sure what year Bill trademarked "Speddo's Rental Options." http://trade.mar.cx/William_Spedding
This is the address of the store in 2005:
158 Arthur St
Wellington
NSW 2820
The only other addresses ever listed in the later versions are the ones we already knew (presumably) on Percy St in Wellington and the one in Laurieton.
Here's the brochure if anyone cares, didn't even know you could offer "house lot rentals": http://web.archive.org/web/20100524211807/http://www.speddos.com/Content/Speddos Brochure.pdf
on Facebook he also discussed dropping the apostrophe so people could find it easier on Facebook. "Speddos Hire" only has one like on FB and it's not Bill, but either way he never exactly tried to set up a presence. And I have no idea what I'm looking at here, lol https://www.punters.com.au/odds-com...ton_11065/SPEDDOS-HIRE-MAIDEN-HANDICAP_83312/

Anyway, not drawing any conclusions, but on the off chance these are names or addresses or just information that could be useful in other sleuthing..
Thanks. I find that very interesting as I have been trying to research his financial history.
