There has been a Healey Blue BJ8 on eBay that has been offered for sale on
three different occasions in the last three months, each time from a
location widely separated from the other two. For a car that has changed
hands and traveled so much in a short amount of time it has a "Buy it Now"
price that is ridiculously low.
Anyone who is thinking about buying a BJ8 from eBay or anyplace else is
welcome to contact me first. With 6,262 cars now included in the registry,
there is a good chance I might have some history on a given car if that is
of interest.

Don't even bother ro reply. This is an old scam and the more you get
involved the more problems there are. Typically the check is bad and it
comes back on your account after the car is gone. Just a waste of time to
even reply.
I've been attacked several times on ebay

Absolutely. --It smells REALLY bad. Tell them to show up with cash, then you
can talk. Why should you be their banker?
...If you manage to cash the bad cheque, then he gets a car, plus cash,
before
they come looking for you. Tell him to have his buddy cash the cheque, and
bring cash.

lineIll send you a zillion pounds if you send me a small sum to get
