"buy it now £3000"-yeah right...I'll have them both if they are genuine...
Typical hacked identity too-email included in ad like that suggests to me that the hacker doesnt know what the right email is.

The Avon was for sale on e-bay in the last fortnight. I think the 'Outboards and Boats' guy in Ruislip had it for sale and when I last looked it was up to around £15k. Exactly the same description & text, but different font style. I don't think the winning bidder was from Petersfield!!!

You will notice he is asking for bids from pre-approved bidders only and that if you wish to be pre-approved you have to email him separately! Nice touch.

Well my email was replied to by Ebay, looks like they have the same concerns that this is not all it appears.
