A: £600 are you having a laugh,even if the engine is knackerd it would be worth more than that no wonder your email starts with joker

Yeah, an underscore is very uncommon in an email address.

Ignore the prick, block his bids, job jobbed

just out of interest why not say the reserve?

theres a nice looking car local to me and i asked him whats the reserve as if he's after silly money for the car i'll pass and carry on looking. his reply was sensible offers considered! it was a simple enough question!!!!

Edit your listing so you can't have people with zero feedback bid. Also click on his name and block him from bidding on your auction. If he still does click on him and remove his bid, you will then have the option to block him.

Also report him to ebay for trying to buy outside of ebay

Had the same when selling my old A4. Somebody asked if I would accept £600 for it. I said no as the wheels alone cost me more than that. The bidder then asked if I would take £675. Tool!
