Slight rant: People selling cars on ebay
Discussion
Considering a cheap winter hack so looking at various Jap coupes. cheap german coupes, etc...
What bugs me is people with an auction style listing (keyword Auction - not classifieds) which have no reserve and start at low 99p, £100 bids etc - but then in their advert they've put "Car is £1500 no offers" So what happens if the bidding only goes to £900? They pull the advert and relist.
It's stupid and people need lessons in how to use ebay. If you want to sell a car at £1500 put a classifieds on. Or better yet, use autotrader, PH, forums etc. If you want to sell your car and chance it to the highest bidder - use an auction and let it run. Or set a reserve, although that's pointless as if there's a minimum price you want, then you should start the bidding at that.. But I guess it's a way of keeping that blind? (but then they will gladly tell you in PM what their reserve is) and I'm done.
/Riknos out.
P.S. ...Serves me right for looking on ebay at sub £1k cars, doesn't it?
