Ebay, can be strange!
« on: 19 April 2010, 18:45:50 »
I sold my car on feebay a couple of weeks ago.333 views, 23 watchers, lots of questions in the last few hours of the auction. Only one bid, sold for starting price. I was a bit disappointed as I was hoping to get more for it. I have never sold a car on the bay before but I thought I had done a reasonable job with the listing/photos etc. - link below
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330416781530&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT

Then last night the auction for this one  finished, older, more miles, no detailed history/ leather/projectors etc ::) :o :-/ :'(

Might just be a case of location, nobody is travel mega miles for a cheapish car.  On the possitive side your car sold.   :y :y

Strange though it may seem, the bloke who bought it came down on the train from Leeds. :-/
But if you look at the link for the second one it looks to me to be worth nowhere near as much as mine should have been ? :-/

He did seem very happy, he said he was amazed that no-one else bid on it. Of course I now wish that I had put the start price a bit higher, but hindsight knows everything. ::) ;D
Having said all that, I now have space on the drive for another project, so am on the lookout for a bargain to spend some time on (keeps me out of mischief) and sell on. :)

Some cars sell for alot more than they are worth,But give it a week or so it'll back on.I think peoples friends bump up the price.I've stopped bidding on cars on the bay.If i want a car I phone up,go and have a look,Make an offer.Either get it or not.Some cars are already sold before the biddings finished, :y

Personally I think you could have taken pictures.

For example.   ::)

Def check heel height 3 to 4 inches is a nice girl, and they can be worn in bed  :y

Over 4 inches, walk away, she makes more money than you do, doing what comes naturally.

And def no platforms, if she got platform heels she got no chance with me. And I would not want any chance.

 :y :y :y


Ahhh in my dreams.

Ebay is strange, or the people using it.
I sold an old bicycle for £35, pickup only.
This woman arrived after a 5 hour journey from York to collect it.

She was dressed in shorts and high heels :o :o :o

I wish ::) ::) ::)

No but from York to Derby for an old bike :-[

Mick ;)
