Have beem in contact with seller. He's sent me pics of a curiously derelict looking mill with only 4hrs on the clock. Wanted me to do a buy it now for £3200 . No other info like is it a runner! When I asked this question plus a few others he's stopped talkin to me. Took the previous posters advice and offered cash when I'm in UK in sept. he simply said couldnt wait that long. Don't think I'm bidding this time

It's a scam, lots of tractors on eBay and gumtree etc the same. Nearly always american pictures copied from other websites. If in doubt when thinking about buying something that may seem too cheap do a quick google images search. You may be surprised to see the very item 3 or 4 pages in on someone's blog/website.

Were some convincing pics with jcb 3c and a rough farmyard- v english could have been anywhere I know. Luckily already knew a good deal about these saws enough to be v.suspicious ,but would av been the dream realised if true. so close to takin the chance.

I know the part of the history of this machine. It was located in Kent when sold earlier this year. It had only a couple of hours on the clock when I had a go on it. It was purchased back in the early nineties by a local man how was intending to build a house with it but became ill. It sat for many years under cover and tarped in the shed in the pictures on the listing as these are from its original sale. Great saw very simple but effective for dimensional timber. It sold on ebay earlier this year for just under 10k. I hope who ever it this time, that it works out as it's practically brand new.

Just had a mail through from ebay saying all communications I had with the seller were from a hacked account. Had a lucky escape there. Curious though how he could have received any money as the buyit now sale was still going to be through both ebay and PayPal. -can someone really change all those details as well?

They send you a cloned page where you think you are paying by paypal I believe.

Cloned pages are usually a different scam, if you pay by paypal they can have the money transferred to a bank account within 2 hours...Then there ways of drawing or if less knowledgeable just transferring it on to places you can.

Yes, but if you pay by paypal your protected and can get a refund.
