We've only got ourselves to blame I suppose. Annoying all the same.

Tidy profit of £6.5k if it sells for that price. I would guess it'll be for sale a lot longer at £16k than it was at £9k, biggrin

I have known this car and the owner for a few years. He was going to sell for a lot less until we had a chat about it. He was very pleased with the sale price.

It is an older restoration but required some work to body cracks and bit of t l c. Hideous plastic bumpers would be first on my list.

This one is now a real test of the market; dealer vs private; and that old chestnut "worth".

spoke to the dealer

he hasnt done anything at all to the car since buying it on ebay.. and wasnt ashamed to say so


a bit cheeky or what?

people are always suggesting an ebay listing would determine the true value of a car in the current market

I dont see how it can e bay only shows who is interested and can put there hands on the money that week the seller of the 1800s when i spoke with him wanted to put it on e bay i said that the only way i would list a car on e bay was to advertise the car for at least 4 to 6 weeks elsewhere then list the car with a starting price of the highest price offered in that 6 week period and then notify all the people that viewed the car it was on e bay
That way you have a True market price IMOP

i think i understand you.. had to read that a few times

have read on this forum that people suggest ebay can be a true reflection of current market prices.. not necessarily my view

anyway main point is the dealer markup which is purely to make a quick buck

IMHO , ofcourse...
