Yes, interesting to see. I’m sure it will encourage a few more listings. Although in time I suspect they might get a bit stricter on enforcing their private v business seller categorisation.

This one seems to have been on and off eBay for literally years now. No takers it seems.

Yes indeed. I know that’s the buyers intention. Really sorry not to be having a go myself as it would be wonderful to achieve. Sadly time is lacking at the moment and I’d rather someone else have some success that be stuck at the back of my shed for however long. I’m not sure the buyer is in this for ...
