It's pretty straightforward i'd say.
He relists cars he's sold (and perhaps advertises one or two he didn't own in the first place and just borrowed for an hour) to attract traffic to his site in the hope that he'll hook someone into buying one of the few he does have.
 
Now to car enthusiasts on forums who are after specific models and specs this undoubtedly makes him look something of a tit. 
However there will be plenty people out there with cash on the hip who just fancy an BMW M3 (other sports cars are available) and couldn't care less about the colour or spec or spring ratings or anything else that could come under the anorak umbrella and if he hooks one or two of these a month then he'll be happy as larry.
 
Somewhat dubious tactics to attract custom yes but it hardly makes him the dogdy car salesperson of the year that the apprentice detectives at cutters/pistonheads have him down as. Ermm

Taking somebody with you whose not shy pays for itself. When you see the car you like the blinkers can go on and you end up regretting what you buy.
I looked at countless E46 M3's but couldn't find 'the one' for me. Closest was an M3 CS in manual with some toys but paintwork scuffed on all corners let the side down.
In the end the E39 M5 took my breath away. Woo hoo. Get an M5 Tommy!!

No idea. Does seem a bit odd having 50+ cars all for sale at the same time and all photographed in the same driveway right enough.

 

Has nobody local called his bluff and asked to view one yet?

yep, and he always says "i,ve sold that one but i have another you may be interested in".
