Charging 145 quid for delivery is obviously a scam, and, I would have
thought, against the eBay rules.

Circumvention of ebay fees. They really don't like that.

I'm suspicious that he is selling eight new laptops seeing as he has
only sold a dvd and a book in the past few months.

And looking at the bidding, I suspect a couple of people still feel they
can turn up at his door :-)

All four of them "sold" though at least one has a very unhappy buyer.

Seems the seller also have previous.
The last items he bought were pictures of Sony, Samsung, Packard Bell and
Advent laptops.
WTH buys pictures of laptops?
Can we guess what this guy is going to be listing next?
Now I reported him, as did at least two others, so how come he's still
trading?

Apparently he doesn't lie down genuinely and is to be avoided like the

As an aside he could not have done this. Once bids are placed you can not
amend the description, only add to it so that "No collection in person" must
have been there before you placed your bid.
Seller is still a tosser though. :)
