Hi all this is my first time post here. I have been looking and bidding on a pennine pathfinder 2005. It was a lot lower priced than others and said it was in St Helens. They said bids would be cancelled unless I emailed them first to stop time wasters. I did and was highest bidder. They have given buy it now price so I emailed to view and now it is in Aberdeen. The listing has been removed so very suspicious as they are saying they will arrange delivery if I can't make it to view. I am sure this is a scam. They sent additional photos in email but want me to send them my userid so they can set up a buy it now through ebay??? Views please



100% Scam, don't go near it.

Not necessarily, there are Folding Campers being sold in Scotland. I've bought all mine here!
If it's in a very remote location, it MAY be a scam but there are other signs in an ad that should ring alarm bells.

The address for viewing is a five bedroom house in its own grounds (which incidentally is up for sale on the web). I have reported it to ebay so hopefully they will find out who it is. I don't know why I just knew something wasn't right so didn't give any info. The old adage if it looks too good to be true it probably is.

Okay I'll rephrase it, if it's in Scotland it's 99% certain it's a scam. Good enough.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
