Back on eBay.

On Ebay again
On ebay again in late May 09 with a starting bid of £600. I asked the seller a few questions such as the condition now compared to photos shown here as he didn't show photos of areas as shown here where work is needed. He didn't answer those questions but waffled. He indicated that he is very genuine 70 year old person and the boat is his pride and joy but again wouldn't answer questions. I asked relevent questions re the class certification and where he sailed it and he wouldn't answer but said if interested then bid. Then he removed it from auction before the time was up. All seems very suspicious and dubious.
No 'Illusion' - she's back on ebay again with a starting price of £350. Same photos as before - presumably still in need of some repair work although owner says she just needs a rub down and revarnish. Looks like the aft and foredecks have been stained prior to varnishing.
Back on eBay November 2014. Located in Durham.
