    Dodgy looking mk3 for sale on that gun sale site

    In the last hour this gun has come on for sale for just £300 with no contact phone number, seems too good to be true so could be our guys from Cheltenham at it again in a different area beware if thinking of going for it only buy cash on collection I may be wrong but just a heads up guys ATB scott

    At that price it is very suspicious, one also E-mailed him asking for his location, at the moment there has not been any reply?!

    If his dad looked after the gun that well, how come the scope is cracked?

    I reported it to the site mods as a possible scam & for them to look into it, I hope they removed it before someone handed any cash over. The thing is now I know what to look for there adds stand out like a beacon I think shutting there ads down can be my new hobby

    Dodgy daystate

    It's been re-posted about 4hrs ago.

    I sent the vendor several messages with only the initial reply, once I asked where he was and when I could view it he went mysteriously quiet.

    The old adage "if something seems too good to be true then it probably is" seems fitting on this occasion.

    It might be genuine just be careful as there are some unscrupulous people around.

    Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people.

    They have both been iced by Gunstar, now if they bother to do a bit of checking, get the mobile number, run it, they will see that all of the adverts for car bits have been run in South Yorkshire, suddenly in Durham, this is a scam, the number also involved in selling puppies...
