What's the catch?

Ok there are about 10 puntos all only a couple of years old or less going on ebay. This one in particular is a 2004 model going for £21 with only 13 hours to go. Alledgedly from a car supermarket but the seller has no feedback as a seller is there something dodgy going on here?

Edited. Just realised they've all got reserves so not likely many of them will sell I wonder what the reserve is?

looks like he made good use of the free listing for motors offer last thursday

So if he don't sell them he's lost nothing?

he will have a minimum amount that he wants, obviously he wont take 21 quid but if it reaches the amount he wants, sold to the last bidder!

personally i dont trust some online auction websites like maybe ebay, because you cannot tell if the merchandise is good, the person selling could be hiding things, i know you get feedback and all that but in the end youve been duped.

I did wonder if they were crash repairs or something - after all the guy has no feedback and suddenly he's listing a dozen puntos. He does have a seemingly legit car supermarket website though.

he will still have to pay a price for having a reserve, but as he is new he might not have realised that

All the sellers with good or large feedback numbers had to start somewhere.
