Bidding up nicely......

[ATM]

How do the fees work?

[Jones the cat]

gone up since.
The fees seem to be on a case by case basis

i can see that car coming in around £50K at this rate,

[Rsx Boy]

That page does not state the precise calculation.
Nicely greyish.

The opacity of the fees to the buyer is the issue in my mind. I looked at auctions on here previously and just couldn't find it detailed - hence didn't bother bidding.

I've been told for this car the fees are about £1800 to the buyer.

[Rsx Boy]

Yup.... I've put a £46,000 bid in and got notified of £1775 which is 3.85%.
I don't know if these fees slide or are fixed.

Which is cheaper than the Collecting Cars 6%.

Google search says PH fees are 6% plus the dreaded.

They take 6% fees from the seller as well don't forget - and then an unclear amount from the buyer.

[Rsx Boy]

The reserve was met at £41,500

Bizarre to see people showing their hand so early in an auction. Why would they do that?

I think it will be be won with a few strong late bids coming in. Won't be in the slightest surprised if it's some way north of £50k, not so many around with that sort of mileage, condition and originality.

with auction fees its probably already at £50K in effect

[Rsx Boy]

Bidding stalled at £45,500.

Final flourish tomorrow begore the hammer ?

[Jones the cat]

I can't see Mac**** folding over a £1 difference. Seems like its a two horse race on the bidding.
I foresee it reaching 47K

[Rsx Boy]

Bidding all done at £45,500

[Rsx Boy]

Price drop on the black CR at Ashgoods. Now £43,995

I wonder if that originally had buckets - that seems to be the modus operandi

Silver CR just gone online at Hills

28,000 miles £48 grand.
No detail vehicle spec yet.

Why do these cars go to trade and not get floated here ????........

The salesman has had 15 calls on the car.
He has viewings lined up.
