    looks like a trader ,oldest story in the book ,its not mine i am selling for a friend who does not have access to ebay,well why not let him use your computer if he's your friend:rotfl:

    i dont know if this is entirely true, i sell stuff for friends sometimes, usually vehicles, only because they dont really understand how ebay works and are a bit worried about loosing out on the auction, but as ive got a good feedback score and know ebay well then im more than happy to help a friend and usually make a few quid in the process.

    i always make sure the auction states i am selling on behalf of a friend and if they dont mind i will offer thier number so any potential buyers can ask the questions direct to them. it doesnt always point to a scam.
    ebay is as safe as buying a used car anywhere,infact might be better as you get to leave feedback after the purchase so sellers are more likely to be that bit more honest than risk a negative.

    hi Jud!th...

    If you do buy that car I'd personally not bother repairing the wing due to sods law..

    As you can guarantee that the day after you get it repaired, some clot will bump into it in a car park.

    Why even bother with a car like this. There are plenty more cheap bangers about. Check the bargain buys in the autotrader mag.
