Collecting Cars, Log in to see prices!

[JustGREENI]

I've just clicked 'sold' button and now you need to log in to see prices.... that's the final nail in the coffin for me!
Seems bizarre, or is there an ulterior motive?

Gave up on the site a year or so ago.
Some horror stories about the condition of cars sold on the site. And dealing with the customer service was shocking. Full of arrogance.

It's an auction site, what sort of "ulterior motive" can they possibly have beyond getting people to sign up?

And as to condition of cars, again, it's an auction site. eBay with knobs on, buyer beware.

I've bought two cars through CC and I guess I've been lucky both times as they were both very good, but there are some absolute dogs which go through off the back of a valet and some flowery prose.

Don't think of it in any way as a "trusted platform" because like any auction house it's the wild west.

Probably so that you can be targeted with unwanted ads. It’s a while ago that I stopped responding to such requests. Same when you want to read an article unless it’s really vital.

I enjoy browsing to see what interesting stuff they usually have on, but I've been approached by them before for a couple of cars, but no way I'd list with them after some of the stories.

Fair play to them though, getting upward of £7k per advert for being a fancy Autotrader with a timer on is some good business!

People get banned on here for saying anything negative about collecting cars.

I find the prices quite interesting as it shows what stuff is selling for vs the asking prices online (sometimes quite a big difference even if you take into account some discount for perceived risk etc.).

Using CC is an extremely high risk way to buy a car

Yes it s an Auction site with No Consumer Protection but the fact they can take £7,200 of your hard earned immediately after the auction if you are the successful bidder is high risk

You can not get that money back even if the car has been misrepresented and you reject it.
