eBay scammers

[marky moo]

Hi everyone I’ve been looking for a rib for a few months now I’m In no mad rush to buy unless the right on turn up at the right price
So I regularly check eBay and other sites the same boats keep on turning up and then get relisted again under another name and location

that one was listed from redcar a month or so back I messaged the seller who wanted to sell it to me for less than the bidding was at .I replied asking if I could view it as redcar was only a few miles from where I live he replied with a repeat of his first reply .when we googled businesses that were in the background of one of the pics they were in Southampton

try
Apollo duck .
find a fishing boat .
boats and outboards
gumtree etc
same rules buying anywhere though

Most scams rely on you being gullible enough to send money before you see the item
I find the quickest way to suss out a scam is to say when can I come see it or can I get my pal who lives local to take a look most just go quiet at that stage

Why not look to buy from a reputable Brokerage? That way you will be sure the boat exists, is as described and has the correct paperwork.
