Yup. It's worth about 9 grand. Has to be a scam; Camper Scams On The Increase. Admittedly, it's not as remote as usual and has a small amount of feedback, and appears to take visa etc, but the price and the fact that they will only deliver is enough for me, especially as they have now disappeared.

I have seen this before. The second photo on the advert states that bids will be cancelled unless you make contact via the email address listed. I contacted the previous ebayer who said her account had been hacked and it was definitely not her advert. Ebay removed it straight away. I have contacted the seller in this case but not received a reply. I think I will report it.

I did earlier. See it's still there. Always worth doing it, as eBay do, eventually, get it sorted. If not, based on the current bid, someone's going to be out of pocket, to the tune of £1,860.

I always report them when I find them. I don't think ebay don't care but there are just so many of them. Follow Jack Buster on facebook to get an insight into how many he reports.

This particular one has been taken off now.

I'm disappointed at the mo'....

Ordered some LED light s for the Shogun and they've never arrived.

They were ordered on the 5th January from a seller in the UK, not one of these eastern sellers, and nowt arrived.

Contacted eBay last week and have just been refunded yesterday.

Guess I'll have to go looking again...
