I wonder whether anyone has come across this seller previously; is this ad a scam?

... the seller appears to have 1,602 items for sale, all sorts of vehicles (motor cars, motorcycles, boats, ice cream vans...). They all have the same style: a single (often very poor) photo, a graphic with a contact phone number and the same description, the same end time and mostly about the same price (£1,000 to £2,000).

It is a bit hard to believe this seller would really let a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet go for £1,900, or a lovely 1976 T160 Trident for exactly the same price - so I rather suspect this is some sort of scam (maybe money laundering, maybe fraud?) and that the seller has somehow falsified the eBay record.

Does anyone know?
