Looking for Where This Makita Trimmer Came from

Hey everyone, I am trying to track where this Makita trimmer came from and having a very hard time.

Would anyone know where this trimmer came from whether it was a retail store or Auction house. Image links are attached below. Any help would be appreciated.

    Apparently a Makita DRT50ZJX2 Milling Machine. See a few Aus sites appear with in stock

    • hey thanks for the reply

      I know what the machine is and where to get one, but I am more interested in where this particular one came from. Hoping someone could recognise the sticker on the box.

    I think it was a return… Mac finally gave their Makita back

    Bunnings… the number on the label at the top under SKU matches the I/N from Bunnings.

    I/N: 6240437

    • Thanks for the reply!!!!!

      That is very helpful, and I am pretty sure you're right about that, but now I need to know what location it could possibly be.

      chatgpt gave me the following information:

      Possible Abbreviation:
      The code might be an abbreviation or concatenation, such as:

      "SG" could stand for a company or location (e.g., "Sydney Goods," "Storage Group").

      "AUC" is commonly used as shorthand for "auction."

      "ICITY" could refer to a specific site, city, or internal department.

      If anyone can add onto it or knows roughly what bunnings it came from or what city then I can try narrowing it down by myself.

        I think you are over thinking it.

        It’s not “ICITY”, the | would be a divider and it’s “QTY” which would be short for “quantity”.

        This would most likely be an internal tracking label for a distribution centre. 07F10 looks like a location within a warehouse somewhere, like aisle 7, row F, bucket 10.

        The barcode is the number at the right hand end rotated at 90 degrees and could be anything, but most likely an internal item number.

        The label is not going to tell you (fropanity) all and I don’t know why you even want this information. Are you looking for some kind of back story? You want to give it back? Have some sort of family reunion? What is the exact endgame of your enquiry?

        And stop using ChatGPT, it will rot your brain, if it hasn’t already. It’s garbage input, garbage output.

    Why- is the big question. Was it used in a murder, Sherlock?

    • exactly, wtf is going on here? lol

      why does it matter?

      how did you acquire it in the first place?

        "how did you acquire it in the first place?"
        fell off the back of a truck?

        • lmao, exactly what i was thinking.

    Maybe YOU should tell US where it came from

  • How did you come by the Makita trimmer? this will help us with what you should do/try.

    • Im guessing obtained it second hand, and want refund or warranty claim.

  • +1

    LOL. Is this some type of refund to store scam?

    Ok, thanks for the replies, everyone.

    Now everyone is asking the BIG question of why I need the information:

    Not too long ago I was in Dubai and as I was travelling through, I came across Sharjah, which is like the second-hand market in the UAE and as I was going through the Secondhand markets I came Across a shop that was selling all Makita gear that was brand new and in boxes so when I spoke to the owner of the shop to see at price he was selling these tools at because I wanted to potentially buy from him in bulk and ship it over to where I am. But when I was inspecting the goods everything he was selling had Makita Austrailia on it which I found weird, so upon further inspection some of the boxes had Labels which I shared in my post and so now I am trying to figure it out how they get it from aus to the UAE or possibly which store is selling them.

    Below are attached images of the gear.
