BlueStringPudding Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) The pictures don't show much of the inside. Maybe the galley, bathroom and lounge are b*ggered? But for some reason they do show the tip of the bow and the stern deck boards. Unusual choice of images. Or maybe the low price is just to get lots of people to contact the owner but the real price is very different.

matty40s Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Tain! That's the north of Scotland isn't it? Caledonian Canal, Inverness end long way to bring the boat for it's winter mooring in birmingham though???

Guest Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Pity it's not 'Buy it now' when the seller would be bound to have to sell... Yes too cheap - times are hard but not quite that bad...... worth a ring the mobile number though.....

alan_fincher Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-Narrowboat-58ft-Cruiser-Stern-/251184126955?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a7bbd9beb Have a look and see what you think. Seems to be a rather different number quoted here on the forum..... Linky EDITED TO ADD: It's "the Graphics Boat" of course. No idea what the e-Bay thing is about - some sort of attempt to publicise it, without having to pay their charges for the actual value of the boat ? All sees a bit odd, but as owners apparently on forum, perhaps they can explain! Edited November 14, 2012 by alan_fincher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrunch Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I know they have been advertising mega cheap campervans on one of the free ad sites, you have to leave your email and name and address, apperently they build a list and sell them on to any business who wants them, just wondered if this was one as it says please email at this a hotmail instead of through ebay.

alan_fincher Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Tain! That's the north of Scotland isn't it? Yes, and not exactly Birmingham, where it is claimed to be on winter moorings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onionbargee Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 thats not the price, it's an Ebay classified ad, not an Auction, it means nothing, it's just there to drum up interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Tee Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Looks very cheap - the old chestnut - if it looks too good to be true .................... Builder? Fitted out by? Why total new kitchen (including appliances)? Fire? Engine? Mate of mine who knows far more about boats than I do always says it is never a waste of time to go and look at a boat - so go and have a look. Took me so long to type, 8 posts while I did it!!!

carlt Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 The ebay seller might have had his account hacked because he is based in Thetford, according to his older listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrunch Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I thought classified was the price you pay. When you see a Classified Ad listing, it means that you deal directly with the seller and buy the item at a fixed price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see a Classified Ad listing, it means that you deal directly with the seller and buy the item at a fixed price. No - it's nothing more than an advert - yes you deal with the seller direct but there is no obligation for them to sell at the 'advertised' price.

The price is set low so that someone will buy it unseen. They've hacked someone's account so that they are untraceable. The Broom 30 in my link is actually in Northwich, for sale at £19950, not Scotland for £5400. It's a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod a mod from Tod Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) I smell scam.... Ebay Clicky Probably not relevant but i am pretty sure that picture of the cruiser is taken in Harrels old yard at Northwich and not Tain.

scrunch Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 The point I was making is it is a scam . Onion bargee do you think its going to drum up interest when someone sees it advertised at 12500 then says sorry we where just trying to get your attention its really 49000.00 I dont think so.

Ray T Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) According to the Graphics Boat web site the boat is currently above Camp Hill Locks. http://www.thegraphi....co.uk/location Way distant from Tain! some 493 miles by road. In a similar manner I had my eBay account hacked a few years ago. Living in Coventry I was supposed to be selling a boat in Plymouth. I contacted the owner, and discovered the boat had already been sold some two weeks prior to the ad appearing in my account. I put a note on the eBay ad telling people not to bid on the boat as it was not mine to sell, whilst I sorted the mess out. I still has people contacting me asking why I was selling a boat that was not mine! I never did discover how my eBay account was hacked.

matty40s Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Spot on Carl -' Robyn' is on the duck for £47,950 !! I have pm'd Will to inform him of the suspicious activity surrounding his boat. He was on only 10 minutes before this thread came up. I've also messaged the graphicsboat mobile number.
