OMG he's cancelled loads of bids and you're winning it again ;D ;D ;D

-
he's gone and cancelled a load of bids, including mine :(
-
What are you going to do with that then Jay? ::) ::) ::)
-
reckon he's using this statement to justify his cancellations .. :(
UK bidders only on this item please. If you have feedback of less than 99% positive your bid will be removed unless you have made contact with me beforehand and provided a checkable UK address and landline number. There are good people using ebay but also some complete fools and frankly we don’t have time for the latter, hence these stipulations.
fine attitude .. NOT
-
he's gone and cancelled a load of bids, including mine :(
Bet ya missus is happy though ;D
-
as mentioned he has an attitude issue, i like the way he demands contact details for everyone, yet advise that he probably wont answer nay questions....nice way to drum up business ::)

i was bidding for a friend who wanted to buy it seriously, he doesnt have an account and mine met the criteria (99% feedback and UK address) and still he cancelled.
Just called my friend, he is going to email them and chuck a bid on
-
Price is dropping !!! back down to £3100 now ... funny sort of auction this .... if I bid 2/6d will I win it .. :)
-
something a bit wierd going on here
-
If he is cancelling legitimate bids he is breaking ebay rules >:(
I'd report the stuck up little hitler :y :y

So the guy who owns the car, and ran it and used it as a business now has NO COMPUTER!?!?!?!? :-?
I smell something, smells like......BULLSH*T!!! ;D
-
my thoughts exactly, the "selling for a friend who has no computer" chestnut
he could be a full on scammer, or a hacker using someone's genuine account (i fell foul to a hacker a few weeks ago, someone listed a shedload of fake designer handbags on my 100% positive account)
cancelling genuine bids is an absolute disgrace

Sorry, but I think you're all wrong about this guy. Clearly he's not a scammer as a Google search will show that the owner had previously indicated his intentions to sell and many local newspapers have already covered the story, plus the fact that he's selling the electric car as well. Secondly, he put in the bit about the sellers needing to prove they were genuine as part of the original listing. Something like this is bound to attract idiots who have a few too many stellas and then think it would be fun to bid a ridiculous price that they have no intention of paying. Note that the electric car has a good bid history. Of course some genuine buyers will get caught up in any effort to root out the fictitious bids, but if they are genuine, I'm sure they wouldn't mind as they would not wish to get caught in a bidding war with fraudulent buyers.
According to the listing, "shortly after the car was wrecked he [the owner] suffered a near-fatal heart failure". I'm not surprised he enlisted the help of a friend to sell it.. I'm afraid, I don't understand some of the harsh comments being directed towards him. :-? I'm damn sure he regrets listing it now though.
Of course, it's good to have a healthy scepticism about ebay products, but this car (bit of scrap) has received such notoriety that it totally unlike your average private motor sale. Thus, the usual ebay criteria go out the window, IMHO.

the biding last night was stupid, and there were a lot of muppets who were bidding on it, at one point it was at 100K.
it was expected to fetch 10K, and that is still the expectation.
i can understand the guys frustration at people messing around, we emailed him and still he would not accept our bid, he had got a right strop on

Were they paid for the damage caused by the accident?. Did the BBC dip into her pocket, or did the owners have to pick up the tab for Hammond's driving ?. NB don't let anyone from Top Gear drive your car !
