Cars For Sale On E-bay.....

[davew]

Yes, it has reached £1800 now ... that's 'Auction Fever' (or similar....) for you: Or perhaps the two main bidders now left are welders by trade...?
Who knows if it will be back though.... (maybe even with new sills / hatch / main fuse-box .... and also with working A/C !?... or just "as is" !) ?

Forgot to add the 'horn not working after a "valet"......'
is usually a sign the fuse-box is getting wet inside (and after that the next thing is the wipers might behave strangely too ...)

[Kaptajnen]

Ok then, 1799,-
Lets see if it returns ;=O)
Perhaps as a welders dream project!

[davew]

And it's back: 323651030640

[Kaptajnen]

Well it is listed as being because of A "timewaster" being involved?
Couldn't he just offer it to the runner up instead of relisting it, or is it all a big cover-up.

[davew]

Well based on the vendor having initially been 'economical with the truth' (eg. "Needs Nothing") perhaps it is potential buyers who had their time wasted...
particularly if they had to drive to see it ? Yes the next nearest bidder was only £50 less so maybe there is a 'backstory' indeed ? We will see !

[davew]

5 days to go and it just reached £1k now but it is being forced up by a highly-suspicious zero-feedback 'bidder'!!

[davew]

Hmm... of the two 'bidders' supposedly battling it out one of them is also bidding on one of the vendors other two cars; As fishy as a haddock !

[davew]

Now back to 1.5K, although I am now convinced from the Bidding Histories this is not just about sills it is most probably about shills too......

Plus I see that one of his other cars is now also re-listed due to a "timewaster" too ! Clearly "there is a pattern here" ?!

[Kaptajnen]

Exiting day for the Scorpio!

[davew]

It may not be too exciting for the buyer when he realises what he actually bought.... and it won't be that zero-feedback (probable) 'shill' bidder though !.....

[davew]

£1700 and it looks like it might be a genuine bidder too.... We will see if/when he sees it !?

[davew]

Another 'classic'.... c.33K: 254117773736

From DVLA History probably another 'cover-up': 'Been treated underneath to keep the rust at bay'.... too bad these rust from inside then !

[davew]

Indeed Gary: £18.5K and 29K miles.... ! In a way it is sad it was not used more though; Wonder why ?

- A few posts above there was one with 130K miles on it and offered for £13K, maybe they based this one on that price ?
(Which was also on e-bay but open for bids, but it stalled at £4.6K = "Reserve Not Met"...)

- And that one is back again now: 273746048316

- Plus this Blue one (L777...) too: 202609077998 also 129K: 'Sold' at £2.3K... but will it sell for real ?

[davew]

[davew]

Forgot to explain that the 'decimal point problem' I listed above was for a Haynes Workshop Manual going for £182.70 !!

Anyway.....will this ever sell ? 202637257566
