The e-mail she got from the buy it now bloke said......

"thank you kindly i need you to help me with shipping so i will give you £3000 for "Lotus Espirit Turbo" and you then pay my shipping courier the value of £2999.50 and take the remainder for yourself. Please arrange payment via Western Union so I can ship overseas"



Seriously though - that's harsh!

Wow - took 5 mins and 3 secs to get sold and 180000 people saw it!

Cracking story.
