It looks like the same car that's been up on Autotrader for a while.

I thought CC had a rule that you couldn't advertise the car anywhere else while the auction was live?
Yes I've noticed that too. I have sold with CC in the past and that certainly used to be the rule.https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202405129...

Currently it doesn't say "no reserve" so I expect they'll be hoping to get close to the Autotrader price, but CC push you to remove your reserve on the final day or two, so we shall see.
Looking at the brake pads, the retrofitted half cage and the fact it's recently been resprayed, I'm guessing it's seen quite a bit of track use, but hard to tell if it's had any major shunts.
Hopefully someone on here knows the car and can shed some light on that soon.

Not read the all the posts but have many on here sold/purchased with them?
Does the customer payment go direct to the seller or CC?
PM if you wish.
Have bought and sold a good few times. Does the customer payment go direct to the seller or CC?
PM if you wish.

CC's don't get involved in the transaction between buyer and seller . That's generally done on the day of collection directly.
CC's merely take payment from the buyers registered card the moment the auction finishes assuming the reserve is met.

Just in case it's not clear the transaction to buy the car is a private sale (unless they are a dealer), so caveat emptor.Does the customer payment go direct to the seller or CC?

This appears to have gone very cheap. Any ideas why?

“..the vehicle was tuned to 610bhp under previous ownership.
Uprated Bilstein suspension”
Also appears to have no sunroof, or steering wheel with paddles.

Today I was reading - link below - about someone who sold via CC and then the buyer started chipping the price after the auction ended. I thought the deal is guaranteed? Can buyers pull out or haggle afterwards?

Buyer sent someone to collect on their behalf who was a detailer. Started suggesting paint was low in places suggesting previous repairs and they believed possible previous accident to front wing. Called the buyer who said they wouldn't be willing to buy at the auction price and knocked a considerable price of the sale fee. So I declined the offer.
^^^^ I'm pretty sure that the buyer can haggle or withdraw from the sale because it has happened on numerous occasions. Collecting Cars only seem to care about getting their commission (which is taken as soon as the auction ends). After that it is pretty much akin to a private sale between the vendor and buyer.

I understood the same. And if that is the case and the deposit is lost for the winner of the auction I would think they will not walk away unless car has real material issues (worth more than 7.2% of the purchase price which they already lost on auction) blacksun80 said:

In the auction sale photos it clearly had pics of the original sales receipt etc and stated ‘included is the original sales paperwork.
When buying a very expensive watch obviously having all the original paperwork is a big bonus regarding residual value.
I paid the winners commission to Collecting Watches, paid the winning bid to the vendor - I drove 2hrs to collect the watch, and he refused to give me the original sales receipt. I phoned the collecting watches office and explained that I should get everything listed in the auction sales post and they told me to ‘speak to the vendor’ - and that was the extent of their help.
To be fair I was appalled that after creaming several grand commission they were prepared to do nothing.

Having paid for the watch and the fee?
One has to pay before even seeing it in person? even eBay has a protection scheme should an item not be what one expected.Wills2 said:
