Most of Southeast Asia nominally drives on the left too, I say nominally because you wouldn't know it in a lot of those places hehe

I’m well aware of this but was referring to RHD in Europe or nearby.

Very good point, a Romanian guy I work with showed me a car he wants to buy when he goes back to Romania, I kid you not, 2011 116i sport for €11,000 with 140,000km, same car here is less than 5 grand.

I never understood why used cars here are cheaper, is it because they’re RHD can’t really be sold anywhere else but here or Cyprus? Even if that was the case, LHD cars still should be cheaper as there’s so many of them across Europe !
It's not a huge mystery. If you have a LHD car on the continent, your market is virtually all of the EU. A population of half a billion ish versus RHD where the market is just the UK population plus those nutters who will sail cars to Oz, Jap etc.

At a glance, divide their prices by five today, next week they'll be worth less.

His stocklist is worth under £10k.

He isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

They get people contacting them via the email addy in the 2nd photo.It is amazing how gullible some folks are when they think they are getting a bargain.

People have been putting massive bids in to muck it all up. Personally I think it's all a bargain, every single item is buy it now for £4000.

Ah right, I thought the high bid amounts was shill bidding by the scammer which is why I couldn't understand what the scam was... it makes sense if it's people doing it to muck it all all for him.
