Another is this a scam question

[John Hughes]

Ifor Williams Car Trailer Tiltbed 3.5 Tonne on eBay (end time 23-Aug-09 20:00:00 BST)

 

Seems a bit too good to be true.

Why would anyone put a high value item on a 3 day listing?

Why take it to a hillside to take photos?

I have asked if he has the original receipt and serial no. but he has not replied yet.

It's too far away from me to go and view.

What do you think? The Land Rover he is also selling looks OK

Looks genuine to me.

 

Why not just give the guy a ring, his number is at the bottom of the listing.

"Looks genuine to me."

I thought so too.....

Like Skyhuck suggests.....give him a call?

[tommer9]

I reckon its genuine mate. Just wanted to make his trailer look good, or maybe not put pics of his yard or house up on ebay. Landy a lot for what it is, but genuine i reckon.

[John Hughes]

Yes, it was genuine, I finally managed to get hold of him on the phone. He said he had someone interested and was probably going to end the auction early. He wanted £2700

for it, which is probably about right.

I don't know, but is arbtalk really the place to discuss and accuse people of sellling nicked gear? imo you should have called the seller, and if you smelt something wasn't quite right contacted the police and ebay..........

 

This site isn't Crimestoppers............

Where is the accusation of selling nicked gear???

 

 

Asking the opinion of others is what this forum is for, no?

Is he a fellow arb or car dealer - you wont get much chip on it?

 

I think its good posting suspicious sales on here, if I had my gear robbed and it ended up on fleabay I'd want someone to question it or bring attention to it someone may recognise it and give the heads up. If the stuff is legit then the guy wont have anything to be concearned about will he!

 

IMO there is far too many guys getting saws, chippers, equipment etc. stolen and this less chance these criminal get of reselling it the better, and if they get caught in the process then happy days!

Hi everybody have a look at the link above, this is the Tim Dilworth who is selling the trailer and LR90. I know him and can vouch for him, he's also married to Rachel Simmonite, of the simmonite LR empire.

 

Hope this helps

 

p.s, don't try to race him either as he's bloody fast !!!
