Hi all,

I regularly look on carswithnoreservereading to see what they have been buying from BCA, and posted onto Ebay.

For those that don't know, cars with no reserve reading (several name changes) buy most of their cars from Blackbush BCA.

They do a clean up, remove any engine management lights, tidy up some of the chips, and put them on Ebay.

Does any one know of any other Ebay seller, who runs a similar sort of operation?

Thanks

Do you mean:

1. Correct any issues with the engine,

2. Turn off the lights with a code reader and hope they don't reappear, or

3. Remove the bulbs from behind the dash?

Just curious.
I have seen them with a code reader, reset Gubbins.
So I would think it is just option 2 on your list

I've bid on the same car 3 times. Each time I lost the auction the car comes back on. I messaged them asking why. They said the winner didn't show up.
I bet he did, I bet he either typed the reply or was sat right nexterm to the replier.
This happens a lot on their cats.
I think all the on-site car cleaners have eBay accounts, ant it is part of their job, to bid up the cars when the boss tells them.

They also shill bid almost every car and those they don't or forget to they won't sell to you.

I've been watching a lot of their listings and the same bidders bid on them all, if they win, they reappear in a day or two.

They must be one of the bigger car sellers on Ebay and yet ebay does nothing about their fraudulent activities. I guess they're a good fee payer.
100%

You always know its them shill bidding because they have no higher than say 4 feedbacks.
Then when they win their own car, pound to a pinch of st, its back on the next day or two.
