Mmmmmmmmmmm, tricky one this. It's old-school technology (not injection etc) so it's a dirty, thirsty two stroke, hence not really worth a lot even if it is really only a couple of years old.
No feedback, no other items for sale etc.

It does'nt look like it's in the UK to me, almost certainly a scam.

Hey Ribraff, you may not like Bristol, but saying that it's not in the UK is a bit harsh  (check item location)

My thoughts exactly using the # sign for numbers, gear lube terminology seems dodgy to me.

You don't see many fences that look like that in the U.K. Plus the weather looks too good!

weights are in pounds not kg, 2 cycle instead of 2 stroke and that was in a quick glance - wouldn't trust it unless I saw it with my own eyes!

If it comes up for sale again and it's in the Bristol area again, I'll be happy to arrange to see it on my way home from work. Although I think they would not be able to arrange a convient time to view 
Same goes for anything (within reason) that someone is serious about bidding on that looks dodgy, as long as its not far out of my way.

There's another one here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/115hp-Mercury-...QQcmdZViewItem
115 2-stroke Merc with 25 hrs being sold by a new e-bayer. May be genuine though.

Ask them a question and I bet you get the scammers standard 'not in tghe country' or 'collection not possible' answer.
