Well dont hold your breath guys.
This was a car i watched on ebay - went too high and i didnt bid, i had concerns about the bidding activity - lots of 0 rated bidders and a crazy price of £550 for a non mot 2.5v6 reflection on 132000 miles - i am sure you would all agree thats a "no thanks"
I saw on Monday it was relisted - and contacted the seller - who surprise surprise hadnt managed to sell it first time round. They were happy to accept a cut price deal to get rid of the car outwith ebay.
Then mysteriously the price of the car on ebay shot up and up and up and the deal went off at their call. Again i suspected they were trying to squeeze me. Not having any of it though and that was that.
Then strange as it seems last night - 1 hour after tha auction ends (again to a 0 rated bidder on a "private auction") I get an email asking if i still wanted the car at the price we agreed!!!
Hmmmm your offering me a car that sold 1 hour ago on ebay at half the ebay price - i guess again the winning bidder was your mate or something.
So as its not far away but smelling a rat, i agreed to buy at £250. Deliver tonight etc etc.
Then..........
i get a long accusatory rant from the seller - after negotiating all morning on the where and whens etc. Calling me a cheat and a liar and not liking the ebay account i have ( 750 feedback and 99.2%) this coming from a 7 feedback.
I should point out this seller works for a blue chip company and has used said blue chip corporate email to communicate through.
The tone was for some reason very sour and ended with "
good luck with your life you need it and your very sad", also calling me a
liar and didnt like the way i negotiated and haggled a deal ( then why agree in the first place? )
This chain pingponged about 8 - 12 emails with her conduct getting gradually worse.
So deal off and i wont resurrect however i accidentally replied telling them i was disgusted with the tone and content of the email and
accidentally included their head office email address for whoever to view it.
There was simply no need for the seller to attack me like that.
Not Happy
