If it looks too good to be true....

Well written ad, but it looks too cheap for the level of equipment. Negotiable price? Wants to sell it quickly? Scam IMO

He also has a VW T4 pop top camper for sale, and a caravan, seems to like camping. I would be cautious, and check it out carefully, make sure everything is kosher. It seems too good to be true, but if he is going through a divorce or something like that..........you never know.Tread with caution!

Seller also has other items, a boat, a PVC and a 2010 caravan for just over £4K.
Probably a hijacked account?
That Motorhome would sell easily for £20000, probably more.

Edit. Typed same time as Craig, but I'm slower :)

I've emailed saying I'll buy it, let's see what the reply is.

Usually giveaway to a scam....

"Make me an offer and include your mobile number"

If it was genuine why would they not use ebay message service.

I have seen them all..........

Usually say, don't go through ebay, send me your email and paypal address.

Often state, I am moving abroad or my husband has just died. Blah Blah.

A friend of a friend was done for £12,500 on a Nissan car. Despite being told by so many people it was Too-Good-To-Be-True.

They had spoken to a lovely gentleman on the telephone, described the low mileage bargain at his dealership. Sent them photos with the car on his forecourt and had a landline. The day before they were due to travel from Manchester - Birmingham. The guy rings and said.....

"Hey, listen, I am delivering a car on a low 2 car low loader to Sheffield. I am almost going past Manchester, if you wire me the full amount, I will deliver it free, saves you the hassle of coming down here".

The car never arrived.
The fake dealer had a virtual landline (Vodaphone one-net)
The car was outside a dealership and they had Photoshopped the landline number onto it.
They never got a penny of the £12,500 back.

The £12,500 was almost all they had.

Stealer was probably in Nigeria.

Take care !
