I'm guessing someone's eBay account had been hacked into (because the previous history was very good) and a load of spurious adverts inserted. I'm not sure what the motive would be - maybe it is collecting telephone numbers and email addresses that some chap in Nigeria can then try to exploit with a fraud scam? I don't know the answer, but it does indeed seem to be aa scam. Alan

I reckon they are just amassing email addresses of the gullible to sell on. £1717 and £1212 starting prices are favourite! Classic cars are a regular target. Have a look, it's quite amusing! |

Alan PS. I've just tried some links to other cars and bikes from the same seller I'd clicked on earlier (from my 'recently viewed' list) and every one of the target pages has disappeared into the ether. My guess is that eBay monitor posts and realised this one was a scam and so have taken the seller down.

The sellers names are usually hi-jacked as well! Last edited by Moomoo; Oct 18th, 2021 at 15:32. |

Slightly different to the usual fare we see in these pages but thought i'd throw it in here, for interest if nothing else :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203646913527 Must be one of the last 164s so should have the D-Jetronic straight 6 3.0 engine under the bonnet. Looks to be a fairly rare manual as well and has the facelift dash. A nice project for someone maybe! It's already MoT and tax exempt although i suspect the new owner would have to apply for those once restored.

So far the sellers boat hasn't had much interest - but the seller has increased the start price to £300 - which is odd marketing :-) Alan

Listed it on fleabay with a £9.99 start price (i was after £20) and it had no bids, only a couple of silly offers of a fiver. Relisted, same again. Relisted at £19.99 start price, sold within 2 days for £20. Somehow i don't think the same psychology will work with that pile of firewood resembling a boat though. As for the Holt car, surprised it made that much!

https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1386803 ... we first noticed this motor car on eBay at £4,000 in January this year. Since then the same has been variously marketed on eBay and C&C, in its latest incarnation the asking price is down to £2,500 ONO. The seller has done nothing to it - the motor car still has a rusty hole where the boot floor should be. I still think it is worth less than a grand. :-)
