I'm Sure I Have Found A Dodgy Auction For A GP

I am 100% certain I have found another dodgy eBay auction for a GP and I swear it belongs to GPMick (I think I got his u/n right), because he has the only GP I have seen with red vipers.

And there are no interior pics and no pictures showing the roof number. The offer is £5000 quid, and the starting bid £5.00

2006 MINI COOPER S JCW GP BLUE on eBay, also, Mini, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 02-Apr-08 01:27:09 BST)

This kind of thing really does my head in!!!

The language used is awful, and I believe your original point is most definatly right. Defo a scam

"being totally devoid of any trace of wear"

And for those of us who don't speak fluent twit?

I've just asked 'malcolm' for the mileage & roof number, wonder if he'll even reply?

He's got a few more cars for sale, all at bargain prices

I've just asked for a roof number too. We were scammed like this at work. They used a photo of one of our cars from our website and we only noticed when someone phoned us to question why it was online with two prices

These come up frequently, gives auction sites a bad rep.

Ask him the condition of the rear seats.

Someone else has had their account hijacked.

I don't deny its a dodgy auction but the red stripe looks like one big stripe to me not 2 viper stripes. Not sure its GPMicks GP.

I've reported it to eBay. Placing fake bids does not solve the problem.

Dodgy as they come. The Audi has two bids on it, think someone's going to be dissapointed.
