WARNING is this to good to be true

[vinvan]

Take a look at this, Ebay item number 121793480516 sounds a bit iffy to me, the seller has only been a member since September this year surely he would be looking to buy a few bits during the last few years? I have reported the item to Ebay to check it out. Make up your own mind but remember never buy anything for big money before first going to see it.
Would not want one of our early bay members or any one else getting stung, "Remember there are a lot of scammers out there"

Thanks for looking

Could be a scam, but it's an auction so could go for £20k yet?

Hopefully what will sort it out

The auction doesn't ring any alarm bells for me.

That said, I'd be wary of the paint job where the seams have been filled over...

Without wanting to offend any Scottish members , the location (Dundee) would ring my alarm bell. That might deter pre-bid viewing.

Maybe the seller works offshore?

Well the pictures are taken outside a German Car Dealer in Oxfordshire, nowhere near Dundee, you can see their name in the glass and the same logo appears on their website http://www.oxfordgermancars.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks dodgy to me, only feedback is one item bought from a Chinese tat seller last month.

Here it is on the opposite side of Scotland.

I've gotten into the habit of doing reverse Google image searches with pictures from adverts or even just copying the description and doing a search from that.

A surprising amount of buses are for sale in multiple cities at varying prices it seems.

I bet that's full of filler. Who would spend that kind of cash without going to view it first?
My van looks stunning when I polish it, but it's got plenty of rusty patches when you are up close.

Indeed!.. and discription I typed in google images
"Rare 1970 Westfalia weekender"
A 72 Sierra yellow with pop top ?

Well it ended this morning at £8K and just hope no one has got their fingers burnt with this one :?: :?:

In the old days of ebay you could have warned all those bidders in advance.
