ebay bid
« on: 11 June 2011, 00:12:46 »
Having a punt on this, will not go higher even though it has not reached it's reserve.... :) Would be great for running about for work, and I have had a few, though never in auto.... ::) ::)

Still winning, I got brave enough this afternoon to mention, in passing, that I had bid on a car whilst 'in drink'.... :D :D :D

Looks tidy, and only about 10 miles away, a bonus when buying a car....I do not intended to increase my bid, even though it has not hit the reserve... :) My plan is that not many people want an auto Mini and that he will contact me, if it does not sell and try and do a deal.....not the end of the world if I do not win it.. :) :)

An auto would be perfect for him, he is so laid back he would starve if we didn't put food in front of him ;D ;D
Nice try with selling the Saxo :P :P

Yes, but at the kind of money I am prepared to pay for it, not a problem; I have had a few Minis :y :y

I am just waiting for a message from him to give me a price - I knew I had every possibility of being out bid, but the reserve is not met, so whatever he thinks the car is worth has been proved not to be the case. I sent him a message yesterday asking him to contact me if the deal falls through.... ;)

This is where I pop up again, in Norton, finding fault and explaining it is these faults that stopped the car selling :D  I will then inform him of my researching of prices for the Mayfair, remember this is not a Cooper and it is Auto, who wants to buy an auto Mini, not many and I will mention the amount of cash in my pocket, take it or I walk, not desperate.... :y

A mate of mine had an auto mini when I was at school.

Gearbox was about as decisive as an OOF'er at a meet with a burger in one hand, a beer in the other and a glass of Hotel21's finest on the table. ;D

For those of us on the fringes of civilised society, that paints a wonderfully satisfying picture. ;D ;D ;D
