In an attempt to stop anyone being scammed I have placed a couple of bids.
After placing a bid of £7000, the next bid increment was £255, so I assume
that someone had bid £250.

The price is currently £7,200. Needless to say I will not buy it. I will
alert eBay - not that they really care. Perhaps you would be kind enough to
email me a photograph with a bit of paper saying it’s a scam, and showing
the serial number.


The seller might be a bit disappointed if he thinks he is going to get
£7200 for it.
