Just incase anybody is thinking about these two I think they are a con

Both listed in Lerwick with bank trams as payment. I know for a fact the first picture is in Plymouth and actually is of a boat that was for sale about 6 mths ago within my yard, it ended up getting stolen....

The 2nd has identical terms etc and location.

Steer well clear of both - if you want a Zodiac pro take a look at mine where you will get what you pay for!!!

Almost bought a Stolen Ribeye today

Like these two, I had a few people sake me about the red one as mine looks identical, only bigger, they'd been sent photos and offered delivery but clammed up when asked for a phone number.

What's the point. I reported about 15 last month and they are still up there.

Buyer beware

That's odd Peter. I'm currently getting very frustrated with B&O because I'm doing the leg work for them but I have to admit they've taken every one down once I highlighted them.

Like you say it's their job. Not ours. I've reported them too many times to bother.

Now I just highlight the ones I know beyond any reasonable doubt and leave it there. If they want to ruin further their own reputation that's up to them

Yeah, one thing I really don't understand is why they don't have "report this ad" button on the page. Would make life sooo much easier.

I am sure they did have a "report advert" button a while ago, but it disappeared over a year ago maybe two.

Probably because it got pressed SO often! :-)

Ok this morning I've checked the site as usual and found one of my own boats to be used in this scam so I've reported it now.

Whilst I was there I did a 30 day search and reported all the ones I suspect to be fake listings. 99% of them I'm sure on but it's important to advise "suspected" to cover my own A*SE

If yours is on this list I'm sorry but I'm sure you'd do the same.

Just look at the number I found in just 10 mins on one 30 day search with £10,000 as the cut off. that was just skimming over the boats too, mainly engines found as that's what you guys are mostly looking for
