OK so it looks like this is a dead end idea, seemed simple to me but obviously not what everyone wants. Keep your cars secure folks :-(

Did anyone make a note of the three that the guy was selling last week that removed them all after some probing?

 

The 1275 Clubman minibits is selling on eBay has not included the reg but clearly states the shell is not included so that is a V5 and the dealer needs avoiding.

Some people have well to much time on their hands...

And most sellers don't show the registration number.

Cityepete.

You're not police trained and you're going to cause someone innocent a whole host of issues some day.

Police are paid to do a job they are trained for as are HMRC etc.

Did you know one of the people you've accused of wrong doing in the past with an eBay shell sale was me? I contacted mods to explain the listing and my actions on here so that things could be monitored. I was totally innocent and proved that..

In the past you've slagged people for selling a shell without an id saying it could be a stripped stolen car and more recently slagged someone for selling a shell with an id saying it promotes theft of other cars.

It's good that you don't support cloning and vehicle theft etc but haven't you got anything better to do? If you're concerned report the adds to eBay (even though that's not your paid work) and to the police on an individual basis.

What a load of balls, v5 for sale with no shell=Wrong.

Police trained, really, jeez not the FBI is it, not going to take any time at all to put the registrations in a thread of v5s with no shell, there was 3 for sale last week all totally straight up v5 only, if they appear on a car in the future they are ringers absolute no grey areas at all.

eBay shell sales are difficult as they can be repaired or reshelled which if ANYONE BOTHERED to read the OP it was intended for v5s WITHOUT shells firstly, cars that were basket cases on eBay still need treating with caution and I stand by that 100%, no matter how good your intentions are and how nice the buyer is once its gone off your drive you dont know what they are going to do, but thats another thread.


How am I going to cause someone innocent a whole host of trouble, what a nonsense, reporting v5 with no shell to eBay? I've NEVER EVER reported even the rottenest of shells to eBay including yours as long as that rotten shell is included, NEVER!

And most sellers don't show the registration number.

All 3 were included in the v5s for sale last week, probably belong to one of the naysayers here, lol.

Just me and you then, lol.

I think perhaps the mini scene is just too ingrained with the idea that swapping vin plates around is ok?

[CityEPete]

So while we are having a go at me is anyone going to own up to being minibits on eBay then?, "1972 v5 for sale 1973 shell not included" just need to spend a few years in police training to put the pieces together, what could they be suggesting?..... nope I just can't crack it.

You've changed the thread title from what it was and deleted the first post content to obscure what your intentions were and then acted like you were on the recieving end?

So u don't like what one person says so u insult the entire community good call!

[THE ANORAK]

nothing wrong with CityEPete's idea. if you have nothing to hide then you wont object... anyone heard of Lance Armstrong ???

 

too many people turn a blind eye these days and that's how they get away with it.

 

it's wrong and it should be stopped. DVLA should be taking more responsibility for this kind of thing,

[Shifty]

To be honest we've had threads like this in the past and they haven't really ended up well.

 

 Too many people think they can identify a ringer when they can't and when an innocent members car gets dragged into it, then that spells trouble.

 

If a prospective buyer sees a car that they would like verifying then that's fine.
