One of my cars has met reserve on ebay and is due to end today

Assuming the buyer still wants it (they did carry on bidding after PM's announcement so I assume so) what would you guys do?

Its at my workshop locked away (Which is also close to a supermarket)

Obviously I'd like it to sell but Im aware of not only the new restrictions but want to play my part too and not take risks

Although I dont need the dosh it woud be nice to have to stick in the account as nobody knows how things are going to go either

Hmmm - meet them there and if stopped tell lies and say Im going shopping or just tell buyer the deal is off?

I’d meet and do the deal, no worse than going to the supermarket and being amongst lots of other people.

Which bit of this process don't you understand? Supermarket = food = potentially essential.

Seling car = not essential.

Do the right thing please and delay the sale.

Combined with an essential trip to the supermarket and no shaking hands, 2 meters apart seems to be sensible and no risk to others.
