Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller - several aliases?

[Gasy]

I want to know where he gets them all from

[Simon Jones]

They must be bought quite cheaply for them to be sold on at relatively low prices.

This was a Cat C write off so probably came from a scrap yard or bought from the insurance company: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 30#p636621

I wonder if the new owner did an HPI to check what they are driving around in has been properly repaired?

He also seems to have bought from people on the forum: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 75#p636925

[cmm303]

321670808410 using 2 accounts again

181668396999

111600134990 Over heating probs and shot arches

... and another one!

3 for sale altogether but the other two are "best offer", not 24hr auction. Change of tactic?
Still can't comprehend such a low quantity of feedbacks (received or given) with his level of activity.

[Simon Jones]

One of those is Mike Vickers former van. Third time lucky for this listing? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-R-REG-MA ... 234bcc914d

Mike Vickers as bought an Honda ..



I think he had that Bongo for 8-9 years though ...!!

[David Edwards]

People have put up a few links on fb about him and the dodgy ones he is selling today.

Let's hope prospective bidders see them.

Advert in the For Sale section of forum:



Listing on eBay from Bristol seller. Same vehicle? Certainly shares same distinctive wheels and the conversion and rear seat appear the same.



This actually looks like a very well looked after van, so hopefully the buyer will get a nice honest vehicle. One massive discrepancy is the mileage: 137,000 miles in the BF advert but 137,000 Km on eBay listing or "70,000 miles" as the seller states. Could be a genuine mistake on behalf of the BF seller, or the Bristol dealer has misrepresented it? I guess if the original seller is a BF member we may find out.

So it went for £5400 on Ebay but is still listed for £4500 in the for sale page,wonder if the owner will inform Ian?

[Simon Jones]

I guess he haggled a bit off the £4500 asking price from the seller on here and sold it on for around £1000 profit having apparently shaved 40% of the mileage off the odometer. Nice work if you can get it. One of the two sellers has certainly got their miles and kilometres mixed up

[Ian]

It's now been reported to us as sold on the BF site.

[Simon Jones]

This gets even stranger. What appears to be the same vehicle is for sale again in Bristol. Unless my eyes deceive me, aren't those wheels black now or is it just the light? Either way, didn't take long for the sale to fall through, or perhaps one of the 'other' Bristol sellers accidentally bought it while upping the auction price?

[mountainmummy]

The price has gone up somewhat too.

[Simon Jones]

Went for £5100 this time.
