... 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?

Many moons ago there used to be a variety of services that would sell items for people on ebay and charge those people a commission (usually a percentage) for providing that service. This appears to be a similar service at first glance, not come across this seller before, he seems to be of the "stack'em high, sell 'em cheap" ideology though.
