So i make an offer, contact the guy, get blown out of meeting/viewing etc (amongst other odd things he say about car history - tbh sounded like a cock and salesman).

Anyway transpires the car isnt for sale anymore, but was still on ebay.
Wondered what he would say to any other out there about it!

Could someone enquire for me?

I do not think he will get much interest in the new advert.

"Car for sale"

negative feedback and make it strong worded and in caps

i hate when they have 'for sale elsewhere and can be removed at any time'

which basically translates to 'if i don't get the amount by the time the auction ends i'll say i've sold it to someone else'

A £2 triumph sounds like a bargain too. What model?

i up your £2 with a £2.01p bid sir, i honestly can go as high as £2.10p due to the 15 less miles i drove this week.

Breaking news ... the picture of the tax disc has gone and there is now text.

I reckon it may need the full £2 to secure it.

On another note, it really pisses me off when people refer to a car as 'her'


ETA: Since when could the above naughty word get past the swear filter!

This is what was exchanged (PS i think he said he was in marketing - if thats the reason why he's a pecker):

Hi - yes...sorry don't have my ebay linked to email and haven't been looking at there ebay...
The owner has decided to keep her for his son!
Good luck with your search. if you're interested, I know my sister is looking to sell her MG ZS - will be around the same price - £995.

Dear pinkfloyd**,

hi rob,

just wondered really. unfortunatly its just me, im a bit of a perfectionist/fuss-ass....
all sounds good, and i dont need any warranty, just needs to be genuine, which you sounded earlier.

so see you tomorrow.

Dear ,

Hi ,
Received your text message about why it was relisted...
Previously she was entered as a Daewoo catergory by mistake so agreed a refund of fees from ebay to end the listing and pop her back on again as a BMW as that was the only way to do it.
I must admit you seem very cautious and i do wonder perhaps you would be better off buying from a garage that could offer you some form of warranty etc?
If you are worried in any way re the cars legitimacy feel free to cancel the appointment as i honestly believe she will be selling this weekend for min £950.
Kind regards,
Rob

Dear ,

OK...if Saturday it will need to be before 11am as I have a chap from Exeter wanting to come down for 2pm and another from Poole for 4pm - if before 11am it gives me time to cancel their trips...
Bruton school for girls car park would be fine but as you say perhaps give me a call tomorrow so you can be sure she is the car your after...

Dear ,

Hi ,
Tricky tonight as i forgot I have another appointment but I can do tomorrow at 7pm (Thursday)..or Friday.
We can meet at Bruton Town - there is a service station in the town next to Budgens convenience store. I live a mile away in the middle of nowhere so this would be easier. Postcode BA10 0BQ
I have as your home number - would you like to let me have a mobile in case there is a problem.
Rob

Dear ,

thanks for your offer but i really can't accept anything less than £800 - and that really is a silly price..
i work during the day and i'm back at 6pm in Bruton if you would like to view then\? Alternatively you can view the car at lunchtime in Shaftesbury..

Dear ,

Lots of receipts for work done including the last full service £300 in November 2011 - personally i think this is better than a few rubber stamps in a book!

Sounds like you're being a bit OTT here, OP.

Fair play to the guy for continuing to reply to your messages, I'd say.
