I was a little bit peed off earlier this week. I missed out on this by about £45. I set my limit and stuck to it, despite LB66 telling me to follow my heart. I'll doubt I'll see another like that for a while :(

were you the highest bidder, disregarding the winner who is a new member with zero feedback?
if that new member is a scammer you might well be in with a second chance offer!

The guy was genuine and, so far, has kept to his side of the bargain. Dont think I didn't ask for a second chance offer.

Know how you feel mate, it is gutting when you miss out for a measily sum.
:-[ :-[
-
I think you did the right thing. By that i mean deciding on a budget and keeping to it....you think your £45 away...
But what if you had bid another £50 his highest bid may still have been higher, sadly you will never know what bid he entered as his highest...
Cracking looking car though ;)
-
Yes it was nice, but as has been said. You don't know what the other bidders highest offer was...
Lovely car, but just not meant to be. :(
-
but its fwd.....
-
but its fwd.....
yes but what a noise from that V6 :o
-
but its fwd.....
yes but what a noise from that V6 :o
But we have RWD AND a V6 :-/
-
yeh but if you'd bid your absolute highest and then still been outbid, then you havent so much "lost out"
it seems like you wished you'd bid that bit more tho..?
-
remember, anothe £45 may not have secured it ;)

I find thats always the case in auctions....come second and wish you pushed a bit more...
then - when you do win - you wonder, what have i missed out on that everyone else spotted, whats the catch? whats have i bought?
The joys of auctions ::)

Better luck next time STMO, if its any consellation Newent is looking very good.

Shame you don't know the buyer's address I could TWOC it for you 8-) ;)
-
Never Mind, there's another coming up soon, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300146310729&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=320150496245&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget You could consider sniping it next time, which means your bid doesn't go in till the last few seconds. :y

Cheers Tony. The winning bidder lives in Lancashire, so wont be too much hassle for you. I'll give you a shout when I get his address (at gunpoint, of couse) from the seller. :y
-
Just to clear up this winning bid malarky: I bid £2852.50 about 10 secs before auction end. Ebay then bid £2898 on the winning bidders behalf, a diiference of £45.50. If his bid had have been any higher, ebay would have bid £50 above mine. So, the fact that they didn't means that was his final bid.
-
Alfa's arnt all that good in the engine department you know?
I come across them with shot engines at an alarming rate - WELL DONE IF YOU ASK ME :y

C'mon. What would you do without my sympathetic slant on things. There'd be mayhem.
Spongebob would thinks it's OK to be Welsh.
Jaime and Mark would be allowed to rip the p*ss out of rovers all the time.
And you would have people thinking that you actually knew something about football.
Oh,no :D

Apparently two emails, then nothing. Seller gave him until midday today to make arrangements but, I'm glad to say, he didn't :D

Steve you're making me think...
In a months time I get to sort out a new car through work.
I am seriously considering the Alfa 159 now...
I'll have to get the fleet manager to get one in for me.
Black 159 Lusso with red leather interior.... 8-)
Oh and here is one of Clarksons finest reviews ever on the car.

Jeez, Clarkson takes a long time to get there! If you decide to go for it Dave, I'm sure you will love it. Imagine being able to drive around in one of the most beautiful cars on the planet, and not have to worry about repairs and maintenance. I dont you'll 'consider' for too long ;)

I don't understand. I spend a week in Yorkshire and come back to find STMO has gone all soppy over an Italian motor :o
I've been sticking Mike's flyers on tidy Meega's all week....will the flat cap look right in an Alfa? and is the boot big enough for a pushchair? Have you thought this through Grandad? :P
