If legitimate it would be the bargain of the year. I can’t believe anyone would be so naive about what it’s worth.

I notice that on the internal shot of the upstairs area there is a bellows bungee clearly visible, yet on the external shots it isn’t there, strange. And it’s laden with accessories that many would have removed and sold separately.

Interesting one to watch!

Well well well. They must have got the shot with the bungee on from another advert!

There is a lot of repeated feedback phrases from different sellers too.
Easy to spot.

Very similar ad to the Fresno green one from a few days back, suddenly withdrawn/banned, buyer beware.

I've expressed interest (asked to view it) - this is the reply so far

 

[westfalia]

Open to sensible offers

offer him 29500.

"... with absolutely no problems!" ("...that I can see from the legitimate online ad that I nicked the pictures off").

C'mon peeps, how often do we have to say: if it looks too good to be true, it is. ???

 

[Perfectos]

I also reported via eBay as fraudulent

Classic scamster reply, splitting up his email address so the ebay autobots don't pick it up. Wanting to take all communication away from eBay site. As one ad gets withdrawn it won't be long before they try again.

 

[Amarillo]

It seems to have gone now.

Ooh that looks too good to be true!

Perfect in every way and above all cheap, I can’t belive it, Christmas has come early.

Where do I send my money ?


If you see again use the report button, if they keep taking it down they may desist.

Hello Debra,

Mot is available until 26th April 2020, clean with no advisories ! Nothing needs to be done it's ready for a new family, it will receive a full valet

The camper-van is in perfect condition without any signs of damp/damage. No scratches inside or outside, no rust everything does work as it should with no faults. Engine perfect condition! Just had last month new tyres.

It's in a very good condition as you can see from the pics. I can arrange free delivery for the agreed sale price or collection next week as I work away from home.

The last service was done 3 months ago.

If you have any other questions please reply me back.

Many thanks
Steve

I just called ebay and reported the seller again - I told ebay I will be monitoring this seller and calling again if they list again!! Nice we can all spot a scam, but some poor person may fall foul
