It may be listed, but no one has bought it

Did you sell your car for the going rate or did you sell it far too cheap? If the next guy is a dealer then you can expect them to put that sort of mark-up on it.

Grow up.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I like to see my old cars on the forecourt after I've traded them in to see how much more they are selling it for but with a private seller, as long as you were happy with the price he gave you then no problem. He may end up getting the same as he paid, he may get the asking price so good luck to him but he might also have to deal with a lot of hassle with people haggling him down as it's too high or it may take longer to sell due to the price so he has more hassle than you. People sell all sorts of stuff a bit cheaper for a quick sale and less hassle and others are prepared to hold out and have more grief for that extra dollar. honestly, I'd not be too upset over it.

What’s it got to do with you anymore?

It’s not your car. New owner can sell it for what he wants.

Move on.

Thank you for putting it into perspective. I’ll stop thinking about it

I got what I wanted for the car

That's all that matters then.

As title suggests, I've seen my car I sold a month ago relisted for £2.5k more online in the exact same condition it was bought after he wiggled me down on price.

Would this annoy anyone/ any funny replies I could send? Shall I just move on? I suppose I got what I wanted for the car so I shouldn't be too unhappy. Just a little surprised

You should be OK - it's the law that the buyer has to split the difference with you.

As above you got a price you were happy with now the buyer has to sell at a good price for them, yes they have a 2.5k margin to play with.
