[SEL] Scam

Mon Feb 22 01:57:06 PST 2010

Hi Chester, we had a similar experience a few weeks back. We were 
looking at caravans and found one too good to be true o\in the 
trading post website. The owner had just gone to England and had to 
move it quickly, In the space/time of 4 days we were given a 
different location (qld, WA, TAS and then WA again) I gave up with it 
but I do have the e-mail address

Getting OT but if anyone feels like reading here is a copy of one 
part of our conversations!

May we have an address so we can have an inspection please

Seems awfully messy!

How would this work? We would pick the van up and would need to see a 
full ownership transfer papers before paying money

about it.The only problem is that we had to move to UK .My first idea 
was to register the caravan here in UK and to keep it because i 
really love it but after i have found out about the huge registration 
taxes from here and after i have realised that i will not have enough 
time to really enjoy it i have decided that this beauty has to go! 
Because i wanna deal as soon as possible i will cover the shipping 
costs and the insurance taxes ( they are included in the sale price ) 
.I let the caravan at an eBay drop off store and they will handle 
also the shipping process.It is insured in case of damage and it will 
be delivered to your DOOR.
 > You will not have to pay additional taxes,just only the price for 
it because the caravan is already registered in AU and it has a clean title.
 > The shipping will be made using a caravan trailer and the moment 
when you'll recive the caravan depends of how far are you located. If 
still interested, please email me back so I can explain how we can do 
this without me being in AU!
