It was also posted to The 6-Pack Forum as a buyer beware........ The guy was
selling the MGB on eBay with a clear NH title (someone washing titles?) but
the MG guys found the car had been bought at auction as flood damaged with a
salvage only title. Same car right down to the VIN and mileage. I think they
started questioning the eBay guy who then pulled the listing. Someone bought
it at salvage for $975 and he put it on eBay for $5400. Here's the two

We on the MG enthusiast pages have seen some MG's previously identified as
storm Sandy total loss flood damaged salvage showing up on ebay as a "clean"
recently restored resale with no notice of the flood damage or prior branded
salvage title. Titles have been "washed" thru New Hampshire. So if you are
in
the buying mode please be diligent if buying a vehicle out of the NE and
especially if it has recent NH title documentation.
