Easy....

First is a BMW X5 and Chelsea Tractors only get laughed at these days....

The other is OK if you are in the hairdressing trade.

There's no reserve price on either BMW - possible bargain (if you like that sort of thing)

I mailed the M3 person and got back

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my 2003 BMW M3 Convertible. I know that are numerous offers on eBay and I'm glad that you choose to contact me regarding your willingness to purchase.

First of all I must inform you that currently I'm in Brescia, Italy and I have to let you know that the car is here with me at my residence in perfect condition. It was purchased last September and only has 23.000 miles. I am selling the car due to the fact it is UK version, meet all the UK standards, is right handed and here in Italy is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle. It still has UK registration so it will be very easy for you to register the BMW in your country. I will send you all the papers, the documentation and of course the bill of sale. The car is absolutely superb, has 6 speed manual, his features includes , Heated Red Leather Electric Memory Seats Plus Centre Armrest, Dark Blue Hood, 19" Polished Alloys, Wide screen Sat Nav /Television/Computer, Harmon Kardon Hi-Fi, Cruise, Bluetooth, 6 Disc CD, Tracker, Auto Air Con, Electric Memory Seats, Wind Deflector, Rear Park Assist, Xenon Lights, LED rear lights, Folding Mirrors, Tyre Pressure Monitor, Sport Switch, Etc Etc. It has never been outside over night and always stored in doors. I have meticulously cared for this machine. If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund, upon the return of the item in original condition (return postage at my expense).

The shipping and handling right to your residence is paid by me and it will take four business days to arrive at your location. You don´t have to pay duty custom taxes, shipping fees or any other hidden costs. The price that I am willing to sell it is GBP 8,000.00 and if you agree with this price we can start to complete the transaction.

Respectfully,
James Watson

C'mon guys - surely you've seen these shitball scams before haven't you?

I am on Pluto and my father was the Ugandan interior minister in charge of diamonds.  The BMW is full of large bills (British pounds) and my 17 year old nympho sister.  If you will send me your account information and mother-in-law's bra size I will the transaction make complete.

Sincerely Salutations,

The old "The car is perfect and will be shipped to you..." routine is getting a bit long in the tooth for Ebay isn't it?

[smokie]

Didn't it say if you didn't like it you could post it back?  

It's become clear now I know it's an overseas seller.

Dave you old cynic!
Thanks to the internet the wonderful institutions such as Ebay that it supports, I am now hung like a donkey, can keep it "Rock hard" all night, richer than I could ever have imagined, have personal friends with the Nigerian royal family, am personally gifted with large wads of money reguarly and have 18 PhD’s hanging from my conquers - What’s is wrong with that?

[Nobby Diesel]

Both items coming up as invalid.

I guess Mr E. Bay has pulled them.
