Look at all the "newbies" who bought it; the ones with zero feedback and who registered in the last couple of months. All these people buying it, added credence to it, and several people with some feedback bought it. A well planned scam, spent the last few months creating ebay ID's and used them to bolster confidence. I think he has several more similar auctions going.

Ebay is getting bad; I was looking for a hard drive for a laptop, and saw this 200G one for a very reasonable price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330220824294&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014  He said he had only just bought it , but ended up buying another laptop instead so didn't need it. Sounds fine, except I looked thro his recent auctions and found he had recently bought a 200G hard drive, that was faulty, clonking off the end stop, for £16 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190204902050 . So some poor sucker paid £39 plus postage for a drive that is basically stuffed.

The whole country is getting bad at this. I currently work repairing laptops, and we had a HP DV9000 in with broken LHS hinge (a known fault) which damaged the rear lid and front bezzel. We contacted one of our suppliers. Lee from Laptop and PDA spares, who said "Oh yes there is a problem with these, hinges are very rare, but I can get you a 2nd hand LHS one for £50". Except we went to the HP main agents and bought a pair for £12. So many people seem to be trying to screw people over prices, another ebayer, Barycrocker (?) is charging £185 for a working Acer 3003 laptop mother board, Hell, these are celeron M's so not a lot of good, and the price of a complete working one is about £200. Remember you  can get a new laptop, not particularly good but new and guaranteed for £250 -£300.

Time to leave me thinks, when's the next boat to Australia ?

probably safe to say a lot of buyers have fell for it and he'll get a small wedge for it, but whether he'll be proven to have "fooled" people is a different story, cos his listings do state its not the actual item

he'll probably get a handful of negs, then booted off ebay but with a tidy sum of money

I reported it to Fleabay, but whether they do anything is .........

will probably re reg with a different name and do it again
most local auctions have either a police or local authority auction monthly or quarterly just check them out and save 49 squids

he's had 3 fresh negatives since last night and his feedback is now private

Well that means he has been paid for at least 3 and made at least £150
