Title: Cheap Car
Post by: Sir Popple on 26 February 2010, 09:43:22

Glad to see the value of our cars are going in the right direction http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220562635207&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

Its not for sale yet (unless you want to pay £25k).

Its a (common-ish) stunt that ebayers use to drum up interest in an upcoming auction

....oh, for god`s sake!
Why can`t the seller just advertise and sell his blinkin` car: like anyone else would! >:(

Pet hate: people getting "creative" with auction-terms, along with the ones that tell you in the listing how awful and dishonest you are likely to be as a bidder....a tactic absolutely-guaranteed to stop me bidding.

Ahh, yes. "By bidding you are entering into a legally binding contract, mate!"

Why? because you said so? Not very well acquainted with the workings of our legal system, are we?  >:(

I saw that at 415 this morning when I was browsing as I could not sleep full of flu.
I thought 'is he taking the proverbial'
But is there for a reason I am guessing.

Well, I just had another look and it is running at 520 quid...   It has a long MOT of erm 3 Months....   That seems a little short for a long MOT to me...
