Interesting. I have been amazed by some of the decent boats and OBs (as well as loads of rough ones) shown in the confiscated and stored areas... wondered how France had so many SIBs spare.

cash being used in large sums to make payment.
unusual combination of boats and equipment in one transaction.
enquiries about bulk purchase of equipment (for example life jackets).
lack of concern about the condition of the boat or equipment being purchased.
customers wanting to complete their transaction and collection as quickly as possible.
online buyers travelling to collect the boat and/or avoiding providing a fixed delivery address.

All of these points from the article are just your standard inexperienced div buying a eBay bathtub special as soon as the sun shines!

Yes because as a seller a buyer paying cash, collecting, and not looking too closely is clearly a problem ........
