Obviously.

From his About Me page:

"I work form home, my address is 78 Thurbern road, Portsmouth, hampshire, PO2 0PJ. as i said this is my HOME, and I DO NOT allow personal callers, collections or pick ups form my home address. It has only been listed for business/ legal reasons and any one who turns up will be met with the police being called. thanks for understanding."

"business/legal reasons"   

Does he mean tax reasons?

Does he consider a threat to call the police to be good business practice?

I couldn't resist the impulse to fire up Google Earth and look at Dave's house.

Apparently, as homes in England go, this is a pretty nice one.  Nothing sinister or...you know....cougarlike...about it.  

I wonder if it is #1, #2 or #3 out of the three he says he owns...?

What did you expect, a baddies lair - perhaps a dormant volcano with retractable roof disguised as a lake

(and what do you mean 'as homes in England go'? - everyone I know lives in a palace!!)

Don't all UK houses look like those from Eastenders, Doctor Who, and other UK TV shows?  

We'd think those Eastenders guys were like landed gentry!! (And I'm sure Mark intended no slight - I'd have probably missed the subtlety if he had   )

That's because you're looking at ebay.co.uk - if you check from ebay.com, you'll see the completed listings.

Well...all of my English real estate information comes from an American television show called House Hunters, which has house hunting shows based in the Old Country once in a while.  

I gather that real estate prices are a lot higher in England than in most parts of the US.

Also, US neighborhoods (at least in the West) seldom have a row of houses all of the same design....a rather odd-looking design to American eyes.    (Although, possibly it is the distortion of Google Earth's perspective that makes it look so odd.)

By the way, when I rotate the image a bit to look in the front of the house I think I can just make out Cougarrinard recycling packaging material and re-using postage stamps behind one of the front windows.

I don't offhand, but I know that a while back all UK (possibly world) ebayers had to register if your sales were business or private. I am assuming, due to the high quantity Ctard pumps out, that he has to register as a business obviously.

With that in mind, there has to be an address recorded for this. Hence the shat hole in Portsmouth. This would also suggest that it is his main address where he operates everything from.

I'm pretty sure gyg or . would be able to elaborate more on the business/private seller change a while back, as it may have impacted them more than me.

I'm pretty sure it all stems down to where your main income comes from and if you are working and then selling above £xx on ebay regularly, then you have to register this with the tax offices. Therefore as Ctard can't get a proper job, he needs to register as a business...

But I would say with 99.9% certainty that the Ctard does not have 3 houses. Unless you count his brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers (delete as appropriate) which he also shares a bed with...  

Cheers
Dave (not the same as the Ctard!!)
