Hi there,
There is an issue with role permissions that is being worked on at the moment.
If you are having trouble with access or permissions on regional forums please post here to get access: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058365403/you-do-not-have-permission-for-that#latest

Does this seem realistic or is it a catch?

    Hi,
    I'm willing to let it go for €7,700. That's the best I can do. It's already priced lower than any vehicle of this age, make and model.
    Since I'm located in London and the car and the documents are located in Dublin, we need to have our deal registered at eBay. Once the purchase is complete, I'll come home and we can meet so I can give you the car and the documents. From the date you pick up the car from me, you'll have an inspection period of 3 days. During this time, eBay will block your money. If you are satisfied and you decide to keep the car, you have to inform eBay about this, and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as you expected and decide not to keep it, eBay will refund your money, without any questions. I think this is more than fair for the both of us. Please take into consideration that I receive the money only after you will test the car and make sure that everything is OK. If you agree with these terms and if you have the money available, let me know because I need some details from you in order to initiate the transaction with eBay.
    I haven't had any missed calls from any Ireland phone number..Can you send me your number ? I'll try to give you a call tomorrow. ( quote from max)
    .....
    I have not spoken to the man yet even over the besides asking him to ring me several times and the uk number is always bust. I think its a catch? what do ye think?

    this is the car http://www.carzone.ie/search/Audi/A4/2.0-TDI-/201219208108607/advert?channel=CARS

    Thank you.

    Scam McScammerson.

    Why does he not have a friend in Ireland sell it? Or do any number of normal things instead of that song and dance?
