Looking for a tail light and found this...

I was cruising ebay looking at tail lights and happened upon an auction with a horrifically mangled Mini. Why they would post so many pictures in a tail light ad is beyond me. I'm not sure what they hit but what ever it was they hit it VERY hard-

That is just horrifying. I can't imagine anyone survived that although I hope they did. As to why they posted all the pics, they will be placing multiple ads for various parts that can be sold. This way, they just have to change the title and some of the description but can keep re-using the same ad and not have to go through the hassle of starting from scratch each time.

The tail light was about the only thing left.

If you need used parts let me know we currently have 6 MINI's we are parting out.

that just shows how much he knows about ebay and scrapping cars, if the tail lights were good, he would have just taken them out and taken pics of them...not of the the wreck they came from.
