Ebay 260569041740

Its been up a couple of times and had no bids at all. Looks to me a sound honest freshly MOTed car, which is what I may want if I take the plunge.
Or am I missing something?

Starting bid is too high - people want a bargain
Mileage is stated incorrectly (138,000 not 13,800
Gas conversion doesn't say it's been certified
People don't really want big engined cars at the moment
Seller has little feedback
Doesn't sound like much, but is enough to put people off.

You're probably right, just seems a shame for a decent (looking) motor.

The best way to get something sold on e-bay seems to be start the bidding low and put a reserve on - at least you can gauge peoples' interest. If I'm interested enough in something I often make an offer after the auction's ended - sometimes the seller is more keen to sell as he's been put off by having no bids!
