This seller has loads of desirable* motors all starting at the weird price of £1020 and with no pictures. Well, one picture that looks nicked from somewhere else, and another 'picture' with an email address to contact. Location is listed as "Bo I".

I might be late to the party on this, but this is dodgy as eff, no?

these are scams.  They want you to  contact them outside eBay and provide deposit.  they always have a location like UK rather than a town or city, and usually one picture and then a screenshot of an email address

Anything using the second image is a scam ad, this has been going on for months and eBay is failing to sort it.

I don't get it. Surely they don't make any money without a sale?

Anyway it's dodgy AF. Not really doing much for eBay reputation, which isn't exactly stellar right now.

It was 1325 a few days ago (see page 6184). Seller seems to drop the price further each day, at this rate he's going to give you money to take it away in a week or so.😁

They insist on a deposit by bank transfer. Then they disappear

The ad for the MG is interesting for a couple of reasons, one, the terrible diagnosis from professionals (he was driving it but then all of a sudden no compression on all four?) and then his fastidious attention to detail of minor faults would leave you to believe he is the kindest, most attentive of owners.  Looking more closely, the two buckets of water chucked over the car pre-picture, didn't clean the manky interior or the sludge out of the door shuts.

That reminds me of the team that 'won' the Mongol Rally 2018.

Is that you- and if so do you have a thread on it?

Yes and no, in the wrong order.
