Banned Member trying to sell !!!

Hi all, posted last week regarding a 116580 Yachtmaster, had a person from Denmark bigging up a great deal, saying that he would cover all HMRC costs before the item is sent !!!

Looking closely, he has no posts and is banned

Im not going to deal, just seems suspect as he is relentless with his emails.

He may be legit, im just covering myself !!

Thoughts ?

thanks in advance.

So many mine fields out there. Good for you to catch this. Sharing the name may help others make an informed buying decision.

Someone from Denmark, who doesn't know there are no HMRC costs if you ship from DK->UK? (or UK->DK at that)...

Why would you put your e-mail address in the ad when advertising on a private forum?

Banned Member trying to sell !!!

There's one in Ft. Lauderdale, FL...with 5 criminal records...don't know if it's same guy.
Many more people with same name across US...

But best advice: buy the seller first!
