I know this is a bit of a shameless plug, but I advertised this on PH for a realistic figure and didn't get a sausage! Is the market dead or is this just a seasonal thing? Any way I have just bought the SL that was adverised on PH earlier this week so the Griff must go so here it is £1 start and no reserve http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4582383222 am I mad or what??

Worth at least £2 I'd say.

Only if one year's tax & a full tank. (I presume you'll also leave the gold medallion in the glove box )

I was going to get in touch and try to come and have a look at this one....
What if it doesn't get any bids...?

That's very nice looking car; if I didn't already have a 500 I'd be tempted! Good luck

...you can always pull it from sale as it "is advertised elsewhere" !, as you say in your blurb.

How many people are watching the auction?? I wouldn't be surprised if you get the last minute chancers pushing it up in the last 5 to 10 minutes

Can't pull an auction during the final 12 hours, new ebay rules. Well over 100 people watching, surely one of those wants a bargain! Might be better off keeping it and building another garage for the SL!

I notice that several of the bidders are 0 rated - now you KNOW that anyone 0 rated is never going to buy the car even if they win. So if you're lucky one of them will bid it up then disappear. Then you can stick it back on with a decent reserve and everyone is happy :-)

Winning bidder just sent me an email saying he won't be picking it up (or paying for it)for another 3 weeks so I have just sent hime one back saying if thats the case he won't be picking it up at all! Deal is off, perhaps all for the best really as that was a really silly price! So it looks like I still have a Griff over winter, if anyone has any spare storage facilities (yorkshire area) drop me a mail!

Bloody hell -

That is cheap but I suppose you'll always get nearer a trade bid than retail on ebay unless there's a reserve.

How come the winner can't pay up? As you say, perhaps its the get out clause you needed.

As said above, I'd tell them you sold it today elsewhere.
