Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller - several aliases?

[mellon man]

Confused - thought we were talking about the van as per Linc in the start of this topic

Between those 4 eBay accounts there are currently 17 vehicles in 18 listings (yes, one is in there twice) so it's not really about any one specific vehicle. Do the the maths and that's a significant volume of vehicle being sold primarily on one day auctions. That is on a scale which I doubt any of the Bongo dealers that advertise on the forum could even dream of.

Hi,

I would be wary of the one in Busyeatings post when it reappears - the drivers door seems to have dropped an awful lot for a 60,000 mile Bongo.

Bristol Bob is at it again - but he's moved to Toyotas now.

Perhaps we should get over to the hiace forum and let them know?

Good idea, we're all pals.

Ebay probably wont be interested, they usually arent

I looked at a van local to me (dorset), it was an absolute pig, auction was won and surprise surprise this guy had it listed the next day with a very different write up He also snapped another one i enquired about after less than an hour of it being advertised.

Personally i would just report him to the inland revenue, they would be very interested in his dealings and you can be sure as hell he isnt declaring his profits or running it as an official business, with that many Bongos passing through his hands he would most likely reach the Vat threshold too

Somebody from "Gloucestershire" asked us if we would accept a Bongos Wanted ad on the main website. We said we were happy to do so as long as either a company registration or VAT number was provided. We haven't heard back since.

Goodness.

"RUST FREE" / "NO RUST ON WHEEL ARCHES". Must be bobbly filler on the poorly fitted arches then

He's back with a new eBay identity, but same tastes in interior styling: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOP-SPEC-MAZD ... 4ae9a5002e

I mentioned elsewhere about a van i viewed from ebay that was absolute dog, the auction was won by guess who and he was advertising it the next day with a very different description.

The auction was "won" and then relisted immediately and "sold" again and guess what,he has it back up for sale again, he obviously isnt selling them and just relisting time and time again.

The offending van:

That has to be one of the worst home-made conversions I've seen. Looks like someone has recycled the interior of a caravan.
