Too early on the bidding stage to say that it is cheap.

Here's Daz's link

It's been removed from eBay this morning - not marked as sold or withdrawn by the seller, but completely deleted which normally implies that eBay removed the advert rather than the seller I think?

I had asked some questions last night with no reply as yet...

Funny how this thread "advertising" a car is open, but mine asking about cars available but perhaps not yet advertised, got closed with a sarcastic comment.

Not directed at the OP BTW, just a rare case of PH moderation inconsistency.

Hardly, any adverts whether wanted or selling are generally removed If seen or reported. Self adverts that is generally a thread like this would stay as its of no gain to the OP, A Line has to be drawn somewhere...Granted some stay as they are not seen/reported...Most moderators aren't on the payroll and don't spend there whole life on here... Yes the comment maybe interpreted as being sarcastic but come on the time it took to write that could have been spent filling a FREE classified advert..

Thanks BB
The point of my note was for those people who had NOT YET posted their advert, or don't use the classified here, or possibly just starting to consider whther to sell or not. Either category would be missed by any "wanted" advert i placed.

My thread was "of no gain to the OP", but was closed.

I'm not sure where you are coming from with the "not on payroll" statement, i don't understand it's relevance to the topic, but FWIW i think that in general the mods on here do a great job. It's not my place to comment on whether they should be paid or not - that is between PH and the mods.

I have written to "the management", in a most respectful manner, to try to understand what rules i had contravened that required the thread to be closed, to ensure that i and others don't repeat it. I am sure that they are busy and will get round to replying once/if my question reaches the top of the pile.

In the meantime, i think my mate has found a car biggrin

Plate is 250 quid from DVLA. Not worth much.

This "was" my car - Sold it off ebay earlier this week and now the new "owner" has it for sale again!!! She's a good car, served me well for years..just feel a bit of a dick for selling it already!!!! Miss her!!! :-(

Mechanically strong although the guy who boughht it didn't drive it and viewed at night - A bit didgy but paid cash so fair enough I guess.

Would I buy it???? Probably not, hence the reason I was selling it! Would need a few £££'s spending on her

It's been stood unused outside for 2+ years according to the ad... chassis, outriggers, brakes, roof - all shot I should think, or at least in need of serious attention?

New guy won't answer his phone or respond to emails which suggests he doesn't want to answer questions!
