JSG Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Can't believe 17 people have bid on this. Obviously a scam with a '£6k selling price' comment and a new sellers ID. Just read his feedback Nice G4 110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ebay should remove it. Besides, £6k for a G4 must surely ring alarm bells in anyone's mind!! At least he didn't call it a J@@p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSG Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Exactly. It looks remarkably similar to this earlier item Nene Advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Baldwin Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 There's a 110 Tomb Raider that's been up on eBay in at least 4 different locatons around the country (with same set of pics!) offered for similar money. Wouldn't mind betting this one's from the same source. The Tomb Raider keeps getting removed from eBay before the auction is up, but the scammers/sellers still manages to keep relisting it!
