I was out bided on this car by what looks like a total time wasting tyre kicker

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-/155187255940?mk...

The car had been on bid for £1,380.00 for quite a while. Then I can and placed my bid of £1,550 five minutes before the auction ended
Then the £1,380.00 went upto £1,400.00 and then up a little bit more and a bit more and so on until it went to £1,550 and then finally £1,600

The original bidder of £1,380.00 had high feed back, but this latest bidder who was out bidding me only had a feed back score of 2

https://www.ebay.co.uk/bfl/viewbids/155187255940?i...

Again it looks to me like a total time waster. but if that time waster had not of bided then I would of won the auction for £1,420.00 not £1,550.00. So if the wining bidder dose not turn up to buy then the seller may offer it to me at my highest rate. But have I over paid for this?

Look at this site

https://www.hagerty.co.uk/valuation/tool/results/?...

it values the car at £1,600.00 for fair condition

Question, from the add do you think the car is in fair condition and do you think the evaluation is right?

Thanks

Are you the bidder with a huge score of 3 ?...complaining about the bidder with just 2......LOL .

It's only a couple of 100 quid difference ,the costs to finish this off will soon mount up .

That's how auctions work, the highest bidder wins.

It could either be a genuine bid or a shill bid.

As to condition, looks like it might be considered better than fair as he's done a fair bit of work, but difficult to tell how much is left to do.

Wouldn't be my choice of classic, but those values do seem cheap compared to other stuff in recent years

Ken has left his number, why not call him?

The OP is certainly reaffirming the stereotypical personality of anyone into Morris Marinas that Clarkson portrayed.
