Anyone bought from Darrent Parker?
Discussion
A friend of mine is looking to buy a car from the following dealer: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/darrentparker2012
A look at his recent feedback reveals the ebay user "stamping-mad" The conspiracy theorist inside of me clicked on this persons items for sale.
He sells Stamped and unstamped service books! Now the car he is looking at comes with a full service history.
Should my friend be worried, is there a possibility there is an honest reason for this? Is this normal?
Any tips? The only thing I can think of is doing a quick background check on the service e.g. Calling the garages that supposedly carried out the work.

It seems to be the ebay persona of James Paul, who are a reasonably well-respected BMW specialist. Indeed, a regular PH-er has recently bought a 5 series from them.
I'd be surprised if they were up to anything quite as dubious as making up fraudulent service histories, but I'd agree that it doesn't look great! Also surprised to see them buying second hand parts / tyres etc etc, presumably to fix up their stock.
