...I saw this on ebay (the UK site) and got all excited. Then I noticed that they are in China (if they exist at all).

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8008224252&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I checked the feedback, which is just crazy, and the only bidder (at the time of writing this) has no feedback - could it be the same guy?

If any other UK Stangnetters have seen this, I'd tread very carefully...

Looks like he keeps winning his own auctions, and then leaving positive feedback. Then he probably claims NPB and gets the cost of his auction returned. Ebay then deletes the account of the NPB (probably doesn't respond to arbitration request) and thus he creates a new dummy ebay account and the cycle continues...

Checked his feedback, the positive feedback was a bunch of ????? and OK's. So i then clicked on the auctions that the feedback was left and the listings were a bunch of X's and ?'s. Hmmm, the last feedback looks like he found out the real truth :Total-CP:
