I am merely standing/sitting around humming to myself and tapping my fingers on the worktop. Whilst, as per your question.,the guys tell you what they think.

Ah, OK. I thought there was some strange hidden meaning or something! There normally is on here!

Nope just sitting watching and keeping my thoughts to myself, as only the guys were asked what they thought.

I think you've poked the sleeping monkey.

It's rude to poke a lady without asking first!

Nice bit of back pedalling .

No worries. I know it's difficult to tell online. Especially as I am as poorly behaved as the guys sometimes.
Now to what I think. The guy is a conman. Take a look at the bidding history, he is shill bidding. Stay well away.

Er, when I read the ad and feedback, I didn't get the impression that he is a conman. It looks as though a bidder accused a rival bid of being a shill bid and then refused to pay. The rival bid then bought the vehicle on a second chance offer and denied being a shill in his or her feedback.

I'd say it would be essential to go and see the seller and vehicle, but without possibly misguided prejudice.

I know nothing about the seller, but I bought my L322 from a smallish dealer "up north" on ebay and have been delighted at the 3.25k price and follow up help. Years ago I was sure that there was shill bidding against me on a completely different object. In that case I thought it was extremely obvious and put it down to the seller being Welsh.

I haven't read the feedback, so haven't been 'misguided' by anything. Feedback is subjective and one moody buyer can screw up a 100% feedback. So have not based my comments on that.
What I have looked at is the pattern of bidding on that vehicle. Then checked the pattern on his other sales and the pattern of his bidders . EBay made it harder to out shill bidders when they changed from showing full username. However anyone, with a little bit of common sense, can still check a seller's behaviour and interaction with those bidding on their items.
Sadly, many buyers know nothing of shill bidding and get caught out.

The fact I spent 30yrs investigating baddies may give me an edge on seeing dishonest practices.

if it smells like a turd, looks like a turd and tastes like a turd, it is time to stop eating

Another one of your pecadillo's.

Indeed, I forgot to add, unless you like eating turds !
There is no need for any photographic evidence of any bottom enthusiasts dining.
