Am i going to regret this?

I'm 50/50. Half of me wants to be outbid, half of me hops my high bid wins. But, i've had the high bid for nearly 3 days now, so assume im probably gonna win.

Need to stop bidding on things thinking "its ok, i probably wont win!"

[Deluded]

Do you want it? If not, why bid?

Btw. This is ebay. You may have had the highest bid for 3 days but no doubt the seller will outbid you in the last hour in the hope you up your price, then relist it a few days later as you didn't.

Thought it was going to be something exciting when I clicked on the link. But all that showed up was a boring diesel estate car. Op did you post the wrong link??

Seller sounds like a massive throbber.

Before he even says anything about the car, he tells you, angrily, that you MUST collect on a particular day even though he won't be around for the first five days after the end of the auction. So it's okay for him to have other plans, not okay for you.

I still think it'll go for more than £5k so unless you're planning to increase your bid, or you're only just the top bidder, I don't think you have much to worry about. That said, everything goes crazy in the last few hours of an auction, so don't be surprised if you're still on top even an hour before.

Seller comes across as a *****
Par for the course I guess.

I'd leave it.

His feedback isn't inspiring confidence either!

Exactly.

Seller is away until 17th, demands £100 on auction end which is the 12th, isn't a week just about enough time to collect the money from paypal and close the account?

I'd avoid this one!

Exactly. A few of his positives are actually very negative

[Derp]

Disregarding feedback and so forth, opinions on value?

Well, it's his car. If you don't like his terms, don't buy the car. Quite simple.

Exactly, I do wish buyers would read all the terms of the auction before bidding and in this case there is hardly a shortage of diesel 3 series.

I have to say I am getting pretty fffed off with Ebay at the moment. If I am allowed to select that postage will be within 15days why the fk is it some prat who won my auction can start kicking up a fuss and reporting me within 6 days.

OP it's not such a specialist car that you will have difficulty selling it on again if you do win for sub £5k.

I'd leave it..

Part worns on the front of a premium car. What else has he skimped on?

[Porkupine]

You will probably be outbid.

I dont know how far off parkers guides are but it says poor private is about 8k.
