So it looks like they are buying cars at Blackbushe BCA and meanwhile selling the cars on eBay before actually owning them.

Anyone had dealings with them ?

Their eBay feedback looks very good.....

Much discussed in the past. They buy at auction, photo as they come out the hall and advertise. They do let some go at a loss.

You have the check the car but the advantage of buying from them rather direclty from auction is you can check and drive the car so much more and not pay the private buyers fee. If you pay auction price from them you can look at it as you're using their account for the trade buyers fee and they're taking the risk of a knackered gearbox you can spot in a drive up the road and not in an auction hall.

I've chatted with their main buyer chap a few times in auction halls and they seem a decent enough bunch - just know what you're doing, don't pay retail and accept them as a trade buying experience with a few bells on.

n.b. They do actually own them, but photo before having them delivered.

Potential minefield but very cheap at the moment!
