General this is strange

[dave]

i was watching this on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4604969509&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1

i sent message to winning bidder asking if he was braking it,
today i get message from seller "well the buyer has not contacted me... i don't have the time to break it... i will sell it as a whole car for £50.00"
how the hell he know i was interested, i hadnt bid on it and i never asked him no questions, do you think he was bidding on his own auction, and the buyer was realy him?

 

[serin]

dont break it!

that looks in pretty good nick for a panda

 

[chrisunoman]

Pretty dodgy that!

Ask him how he knew you were interested?

 

[dave]

i just asked what car he also sold that Sisely(sp?)

 

[Pandarus]

Maybe he was disappointed with the sale price - people see 4 x 4 and think £s

 

[sutty2tone]

sounds to me hes the seller and buyer,,,,,bit shady,,

 

[dave]

[The Negotiator]

I think Dave was drunk and emailed the seller by mistake

 

[JimMagill]

[dave]

no i checked my sent messages on ebay, was defently the winning bidder i messaged

 

[Alan.D]

Sorry Dave I was half sleeping when I left the other post, yes it def sounds as if he's got a couple of accounts or a mate was bidding for him. If you report him to e-bay his account will be suspended for doing that. But do you want the car for £50.00?

 

[dave]

its a bit far away to be towed, i only wanted the rear spring and that linkage bit off the gearbox my towing mate is off work tuesday so will give it some thought

 

[Alan.D]

I have a spare gearbox so will have a look at the linkage but couldn't help with the rear spring.

 

[dave]

ok thanks
