E Bay Scam!

There is an Osprey Eagle 6 on e bay
Item No 321143398082
The 'advertiser' says the boat is in Scotland
Well, it was in Scotland last year but my mate bought it and it lived on Anglesey for a bit and is now in Cheshire
I have just spoken to the current owner to make sure it hadn't been stolen!
So don't bid on it peeps, I have reported it to E Bay
The pictures of the vessel are the ones I took in my Mate's place and most of the 'wording' has been lifted from My original advert I made
The Scammin bastid

What's a real coincidence
I didn't know the rib was back on e bay
Yesterday I had a phone call from a Guy in Scotland is the rib still for sale
I said no, sold a couple of Months ago
He said well its back on
Funny, I said we bought it from Scotland
A place called Ardrishaig right by the Crinan canal
Och aye the noo he said, you won't believe it that's where I live!!!
You just couldn't make it up!

Oh and she had move to Scotland from Bristol, Trade It remove the add and others as on going scams.

Tell your daughter to watch out for them krauts, they are always throwing there sausages about.... that how I got here

Yep add plenty vinegar to the sauerkraut "spelt correctly" also goes well with that Welsh seaweed bread you lot eat as for salami sausage... That Hungarian salami is good stuff as well... although I do believe its made from donkey meat

What's the occasion ?
