Unusual - only 80 other cars

It really frustrates me that ebay can't get a grip on this, it costs me hours a week scrolling through scam ads

£4,250 now it was £60,000+ yesterday - someone's undoing unrealistic bidding

Are the £60,000-ish bids not from public-spirited folk preventing unwitting members of the public from being "suckered in"?

Perhaps even PH members doing it?

What happens if you win it for £60,000 though?

It sold for £9,200 - bargain for some lucky bidder?
The seller is lucky0130

Funnily enough that's who I've won my £8k Merc from. I kept bidding £65k but the high bids were cancelled, but I still ended up winning it..
I did have a response from the seller, sorry scammer this morning replying to one of my old emails. I just said yes I want to buy it, can I arrange payment and pick up so I'm interested to see what happens now

It looks like if you send them the cash they deliver for free

I hope whoever 'won' this checks the previous feedback. Looks like a hijacked account with feedback left from someone else who attempted to buy a different car.

lucky0130 is the unsuspecting poor sod whose eBay account was hacked?

The bidder isn't lucky either, especially if they pay any money away.
