Well it finished on the 6th at 19:12 after 35 bids, achieving just over £2000.

I hope all turns out well for the winning bidder.

Not surprisingly I didn't get a reply to my email asking for a viewing. I too really hope all turns out well for the winning bidder but somehow I doubt it

It won't.
There is no camper for sale.
What would happen is the potential buyer would be contacted by the seller (scammer) and be asked to pay for it, more than likely with a fake ebay invoice or outside ebay. The camper will be promised to be delivered but will never come. The buyer will contact ebay, who will know nothing about it.
Money gone, seller gone.
That's the process, let's hope no-one is gullible enough to pay for something they've never seen, although it must happen occasionally as the scammers wouldn't bother otherwise!

Camper in Glasgow, no pictures but free delivery.

Will email me photos if I respond to his hotmail address.

Should I be suspicious?

Dodgy or not?

Looks like a dodgy one,usual low reserve,no feedback and regionless email,and of course ,free delivery. Do Fiestas have wardrobes? I remember a Crusader on here once with and end bathroom,which would probably make the bed a tad soggy.

I was about to say exactly the same thing about the listing but you beat me to it.

They tend to be located in some out of the way place and the ebay seller has no feed back, the listing also usually offers to post the camper.

If you contact the seller by ebay they want to make contact outside of ebay offering to end the auction if you send them money.
