I would have said that the price seems around £3000-4000 cheaper than it should be. Either a very good bargain, a mistake, or a con.

It asks for replies to an email address so could be a hijacked account, simple way to spot a scam, seller will want payment & offer to deliver caravan afterwards & you wouldn't be daft enough to fall for that.

hmmm doesn't follow the usual modus operandi ,i.e he has good feedback ,but the feedback is old and the only revelant one has weirdly been removed by e/bay .
my gut feelings after the spate of con jobs over the last couple of years is take extreme care .it could be worth viewing if your in the area but check everything THREE TIMES .

as most of the zero feedback ones are spotted quickly they could be learning new tricks .worth a e/mail to see where it leads .

It's certainly a very good price and if your are local, then I would check it out. Ring CRIS while you are there and check all the paper work several times !

You can also contact Ebay directly and they will check the account for you.

If you are not local I would just move on. it's not worth the hassle.

It has the Scottish link as well where there has been some history of trailer tent scams. Sorry to anyone north of the border I am not trying to single you out or stereo type you.

The guy has feedback and fairly recently, it seems like a genuine ad. Maybe he has made it competitively priced as he needs a quick sale.

Oh and are most of the scams not auction type as opposed to classified ad

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
