Quick bit of research to find an empty rental property later, mate replied with "Well i need to get shot of this car urgently, if you can pick it up you can have it free. Pick it up here...."

Yep that's smooth.....For added play value it would be good to place a poundshop New Beetle or something on the driveway of target property

But be aware that the kind of idiots that mess people about don't always worry about things like laws and it is very funny but does have the potential to backfire.

I've had my time wasted by mongs like him on more than one occasion, so this makes me smile. Hope the twat had a long and miserable journey for his non-existent free car. 1675463895/10 to your mate.

I am going to go against the flow here and say that was a shitty, stupid thing to do.
Now this pissed-off guy has reason to seek retribution. Via the ebay sale he probably has access to the sellers address etc.....

Only ever tried to sell one vehicle on ebay it was a nightmare!
It was my T4 Van.
First guy hit buy it now then ignored my messages for a week I then followed his feedback and it turned out he had done the same on others and guess what??
He strung the others along for a week too which was when he sold his T4!
Yes he was hitting buy it now to kill the competition we all complained to eBay they don't give a toss!
Good on you Rod/b
Thankfully I was contacted by a watcher who come and saw the van and payed my asking price and was very happy

The other party can then start having fun/throwing bricks at their leisure.
Ive found this procedure most helpful in the past.

The title is offensive.

It's not the Timewaster, it's the Timewaster's eBay cousin (best said in Clarksonesque accent).

I don't particularly like your avatar, Sheefag, but I did what any sensible person does and added it to my adblock rules so I don't have to see it any more. I did the same with barefoot's, not because there was anything particularly wrong with the foot I just didn't much like looking at it.
