Hi Guys - going to post this under "For Sale" to highlight it.
Chris (Bulls head) has just warned me that the last buggy he sold (to a chap in France) has appeared on ebay.
IT IS NOT THE SELLER - Its a scam!
I've seen this happen a few times before. Chris has spoken with Simon (the owner) and confirmed that its not correct and its been reported to ebay. Its a standard ploy - they use a carbon copy of the last advert (Chris's) and get it as a classified advert with a buy it now.
Avoid!!!!
Here's the item.

Again do not contact the seller unless you want to rip him a new one. (Not that I would condone such a thing)
Oh and just to show what a scam it is....
a buggy worth and don't quote me on this... at least between £7k-£9k on a buy it now for £3620
The seller is based in Orpington, Bristol!!!
(Currently listed as 1969 Volkswagen Beach Buggy within Volkswagen section)
Just saw this and thought very strange!
Just been speaking with my contacts at eBay, and it should be removed shortly

This is a real problem on ebay at the moment, and they are quite excited to have had one flagged up to them prior to it being sold, as increases the chances of catching fraudsters so much higher
Cool guys ..good job,just didn't want someone getting ripped off thank you :-*
Just reported it myself.
Tried the contact number. Constantly engaged. I was ging to ask some questions like 'when are you going to tell the owner you're selling his car?'' stuff like that, but I suppose it would be better to not tip them off too soon, and give ebay a chance to trace them.
Hope they get caught ...scum bags.... ;-)up
Should we all go on as watchers so it stays on till the boys in blue go round there?
If e-bay know about it surely they should have removed it and closed his account by now

Spoke (typed) too soon, it seems to have gone
