This guy has been 'selling' stuff on Ebay for at least the past month.

Bikes, Boats, Cars etc, etc.

Uses multiple Ebay accounts, the moment its taken down its back up under another account.

He's been trying to sell a 1930 AJS for the past month, always under a different account, and he moves around the country a lot.

Just click on sellers other items to see what he supposedly owns.

So what’s the process here?  On the Bomber he mentions a quick sale price of equal to or greater than £2800 (if he understands maths) and it’s now over 5k.  No mention of this buy it now price on the actual listing.
What does he gain from this?  The possibility of a contact email address for future scams or selling on?  Does any of this apparently tasty stuff exist from other members of his very large family?

Confused of Orkney

I'm not sure the bidding is genuine either, his Triumph 6T is up to £60,300, who pays 60 grand for a plain 6T?

Those massive bids are from a guy who works with me .He has bid 250000 so far on the scam ads.
he has gone way over the buy it now price but nothing happens so i'm not sure how the scam works unless he does the lets cut ebay out ,contact on the red email and send him cash .

I’m sure that will be it, probably using Western Union, he collects from his local branch in Lagos or wherever, completely untraceable.

He’ll be getting the compromised account passwords by some sort of phishing scam, or buying them from another scammer.

This one is obvious to us, surely no one sells a running a Bomber that cheap, but like the £5k CB750 K0, it’s easy to think ‘I can’t believe my luck, better send the money before James H sees the ad!’
