Strange add for expert camper on ebay.

Just seen this on ebay:-

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275005548237 … OSwHZFhezf-

Seems a strange way to sell a van.   Why not at least post some pics?
Is it just to avoid ebay fees or is it perhaps a scam?


edit...

Scam I think, it's gone already.

Re: Strange add for expert camper on ebay.

That does seem strange. No inside pictures, no location, pushy description. I do want it though if it's an R reg  wink Pop top too!

This is a street view picture from 2015 of a campsite up near Benderloch Connel. See the white one? Its still there in that spot today. Apart from green slime it looks in better nick than the Transit Connect the site warden uses to show you where to pitch

Well done Stansky and Hutch.  (Google it Ken) wink

For anyone who doesn't have a clue what we are talking about, the add just had two pics.   A square on front view of a nice looking Expert pop top, and the other just a crude flyer with some contact details.

The description just said contact via the details in the photo.

I missed the one at the Bins Danno. Mind you that one is not there now as that area is where i dumped my beer bottles when leaving.

Not a camper seller from Bradford was it? Reason i ask a mate bought a LDV Pilot camper with a few weeks MOT left and in need or welding for 300 quid. Fixed the rust that could be seen and sold it to this guy for £3000 who washed it and was selling it with an MOT at almost £7k yikes Anyway when i seen the adver i was looking at other vans in the background and one was a pop top expert in white

Re: Strange add for expert camper on ebay.

Which would buy you a van with a high roof.

Didn't show anything apart from a close in front shot of the Expert.  Didn't notice location. The add had been taken down within hours of seeing it.

Which would not be as discrete, not as good performance, not as good a drive, would not fit under height barriers, and would be unlikely to run on veg oil.  All for me, (and perhaps also for Ken), decisive factors in choosing an everyday solo camper.

In short, it wouldn't be a Dispatch, Expert or Scudo.
