I'm sure it is a mistake but it made me smile that he says cash on collection only... and emphasises UK buyers only!Ā Ā 

Like someone from Europe is not allowed to come over here and buy the case.Ā  I think saying 'Collection Only' would have sufficed.

Could be a mistake, although it could be a promise to sell things off- 'Honestly Darling, I keep listing it all, but no-one bids!'.

There is also the potential for money laundering with this kind of thing. Actually, checking the account, about a third of the seller's listingsĀ are low value items listed for ten grand. Whatever they're playing at, it's not a mistake...

The money laundering thing happens on Amazon as well. Someone lists a really boring book on, say, the statistics of left-handed spigot trunnions, for a way higher price than any genuine buyer would pay. The transaction is used to send criminal funds, making them look like a legitimate purchase.

Alternatively, the seller is just inviting offers and doesn't want to put too low a ceiling on these.

They have a tatty old plastic leyland mini grille for ten grand too, plus I think another item, their other stuff is cheapo "clear out" bits, so I think its an error somehow ! ..... But always fun to see what turns up on ebay for mad money :)
