With the prices of all the others advertised they need to do something to keep the numbers up

Looks to me like some of the ads are fakes. Someone wanting to bump up the price of there car or make it look more attractive in the market. Clever but not clever enough....

5 ads go up within minutes of each other for the same type of relatively rare car, all ~30-40% over typically advertised (and achieved) prices and you don't smell monkey business?

I hope you don't use eBay, and if Mr Umboogoo ever emails you with top dollar deals, don't respond

What he said! Its a free market and anyone could demand any price for their pride and joy and if a buyer comes along and its the only car with the exact spec he wants, he'll probably buy it anyway.

Exactly!

Sounds sour grapes from some muppett who cant face the fact that he is owning a depreciating assett, So much jealousy in this world.

Fair play Stradale boys.

Easy tiger. I'm thinking Daz is having the same thoughts as me - all ads posted at nearly the same time, (almost)all have one small pic, and several (if not all) of the cars advertised are owned by regular posters on here. So, I'd say its either a joke or a scam.

I suspect the idea is to keep the ads section clean with people genuinely wanting to sell their car in a meaningful time frame. Otherwise we'd all have every car we own up there for daft money "just in case" (now there's an idea).

btw, the market's anything but free, especially when owned by a commercial organisation

Maybe someone has written one off recently and is looking for a nice insurance payout ...

yes i understand that, however........

If these guys want to advertise their cars 'en mass' then so what?

Ever thought about contacting one of the sellers rather than jumping to conclusions?

Exactly, if someone wants to sell their car for a particular price then so what

No, I'm not a moderator on this forum so its not really any of my business.

If all the cars are geniunely for sale at the advertsided prices, baring in mind how each of the owners rave about their cars on here, I'd be surprised. If you're saying you know the cars are all for sale at the stated price, I wish them all the very best of luck with a sale.

As you say, none of your business. Yes, they are for sale at those prices, I would think the owners of the cars might be a little more than annoyed to see that you are suggesting foul play.

everything is for sale....at a price. I noticed the prices of these cars going through the roof this week, I have no desire to sell mine, HOWEVER if I can achieve a sensible price I would be stupid not to sell wouldnt I??? My reasoning is if I can achieve a high enough price my trade up to a Scud will be less of a jump, and given that Scuds are nearly £200k, £140 for a sorted Stradale is a bargain IMO.

three of the adverts have mobile phone numbers with the same first six digits
