This seems odd

Apart from the glaring mistake on the engine size I cannot see what is odd ?

If you put a bid on it and were outbid, the winning bidder has pulled out and it gets offered down to the next bidder. Thats is my take on it

It just seems odd its sold but asking for bids .i didn:t bid on it just looked on ebay i allways thought if you won something on ebay you had to buy it .

I must be missing something & i'll look a proper prat when you point it out.
The mistake he has made though is marking as SOLD and leaving open to offers.

I just think it is sold and instead of making it clear he just edited the title to read sold.... simple as that

No. We "won" a motorhome but had ask the seller to agree it was subject to viewing. It was in a mess. He used it from Bristol to Glastonbury festival annually so mileage was around 50 per year. Tyres were cracked, few dents and we agreed I would not pay. simples

Edit: must admit it was not a pleasant journey from Nottingham to Bristol with £16k in a bag.

To avoid that nervous feeling I arranged to draw the money from my bank's branch in the MH seller's town, handed it to him in the branch and he walked across the road and paid it in at his branch, after carefully looking up and down the street - funny seeing a Police Sargeant doing it.

Have you checked the email header , as scam artists are very clever , I recently had a contact from a member , purportedly from ebay , but it wasn't and I alerted ebay who acted upon it . There are all sorts of "ebay" scams !!
EDIT PS Its listed as a classified with a list price and offers , and he has done this with a previous sale van , might be a pseudo dealer ? There is a phone number so speaking to the seller might give you a bit more of a feel of who you are dealing with !!

The amazing detail of this was we had to ask the bank in Nottingham to arrange to have enough of the folding stuff in the branch as they don't carry that much ?????. They then opened every sealed plastic bag and counted it all out in front of us then placed into an envelope.
We arrived on a farm storage site with all this in a bag,, the seller had a magic marker to make sure it was kosher and was prepared to sit and count it again!!!!!
We stopped off on the way home for a meal and we were very nervous of all around us.

Yes, but only if the seller wants to do that, they can just relist if they want to.

Not with something like this that you collect, if it's not as described you can reject it.
However if you accept it and then decided it's no good you can't usually do anything about it because you accepted it after inspection.
We sold a mobility scooter and later he claimed there was something wrong with it (it was fine & working when we sold it) because he collected it there was nothing he could do about it,which was just as well for us as he was clearly 'at it'.
