High mileage and owned by a fat gezza who's buggered the seat, £4k seems OK.

I think it was a scam.

The sellers username was Salop Vans, they sell campers. Yesterday they had lots of new listings for low mileage cars that all seemed to cheap to be true. On top of that every new listing stated that you must not use the normal method of contact you must email direct.

The photos of their Campers were all outside their office, but the cars photos were all taken in different places. They had listings the same on Pistonheads too.

Anyway I emailed Salop Vans from their own website to warn them that I thought they had been hacked or similar and reported all the dodgy listings on ebay!

Scammier than a scammy thing! Similar adverts have been doing the rounds on Pistonheads - Several expensive cars advertised at 50% of the price with the advert saying to email a different address for details.
