Nice, but...

It'll be nice if this is a signifier that values of Moggies are increasing across the board:-

Be careful what you wish for, the day may well come when classic cars are the exclusive province of the rich, investors / speculators and the likes of us (ordinary folk) are priced out of the market.
The other side to the coin of course is the ever present possibility that the the higher they rise the further they can potentially fall.
Best wishes,
Mike.

The first one - £15,000 bid for a fully restored Traveller doesn't surprise me at all. The restoration would have cost quite a bit more.
I must say that there is a load of utter rubbish in the "Background" and "History" sections of that advert :roll: :x

The second one is a scam advert that people have bid on knowing full well that the sale cannot be concluded in any case as whoever listed the car doesn't have it :wink:
