E Bay watch list

[anonymous-user]

I don't get it. I have had my car on e bay for 1 week and it has 29 watchers and no calls or e mails. It is a fixed cost classified add. Why would you watch it ?
Just seems odd to me and I have read and re read it to ensure I have not written something funny by accident.
Why so many watchers?

I think it will be deleted by mods ? ( not the 60's type)

When I was selling my SLK32 had 130 watchers at one point ! Must admit I often watch Chims for sale to see what sort of price they are going for.

Other sellers (or potential sellers) gauging the market ?

Recent buyers looking to see if theirs was a "good deal"?

Fellow owners just interested in market trends?

[Colin RedGriff]

I guess it may just be people interested but not quite ready to buy and just bookmarking it.

My Chims in an auction on fleabay, was a 10 dayer which is up sunday night, 700 quid shy of it's reserve atm...

If you sell it this way what percentage do you loose ?

cant remember off hand what the % is, doesnt work out much more than Autotrader etc all in.

IF it does go i'll update....reserve is 5k for anybody who knows the rate.

Had over 70 watchers for my Cerb recently. Not one email. Or sensible offer.

Love the colour of the car I've sold couple of cars of eBay but all deals done before auction ended so not sure how much you loose, taking payments by PayPal though does cost quite a bit

Looks like a bargain for someone

I had the same thing, classified ad with 40 watchers. It's doing my nut in selling the Chim
If it's not Borat trying to scam me through paypal it's nutters asking stupid questions like is it a convertible.

Cheers mate.

Dont think 5k reserve is greedy. Pretty much bottom money IMHO, any less any you're into shed or salvage stuff.

i always got stuff in my watch list, they are generally things i want but dont get around to buying or i fancy but cant bare to part with the money lol, or just curious really, admittedly ive sold stuff on there and get stty when there seems to be loads of watchers but no real interest and im guilty of it myself
