I don't have any issue with any seller making money on an item and taking as much as possible off a buyer. That's business/life and the onus is on the buyer to do their homework. Nor is there anything wrong with low start auctions that eventually go through the roof. That's the exercising of a market place.
My point is that I don't like seeing naive A7 owners getting fleeced by opportunistic sellers who are overtly taking advantage of ignorance. When threads like this percolate out to the wider internet then there is a chance that in the course of doing their homework some buyers may be suitably alerted and avoid getting totally ripped off.
Speaking of which, I see that latest offering on ebay from the 'sell it mega expensive' outfit is a £500 stator tube. And the car doesn't even come with it...
