The sale might be subject to a number of factors, such as whether you get that promotion, whether you get a company car, whether you get half of your partners money in the divorce, etc.
I've done it once, as I didn't want to sell the car, but I needed the money to buy a house. It's really to see if it's worth selling or not (like would the car sale cover the outstanding loan, etc).

There is normally a great difference between what people on Scoobynet value the cars at, compared to how much they actually sell for!
And Autotrader is not a great indicator as well, as what the car is advertised for is not what the car sells for.
At the end of the day, if you advertised your car for £12k (what you were told it was worth on Scoobynet) but you only get offers for £10k, would you be pissed off? Sometimes the best way to get the actual value is to put it up for sale!
Then again, I have seen people try to advertise their cars on numerous occassions on Scoobynet, but always pull out at the last minute, which would annoy the seller more!

This gets on my **** too!!!
Nearly as much as the one where people say "Open to Offers" so somebody makes a genuine offer only to be told "Sorry mate,I was lookin for more than that!!!"
Why the **** didn't you put how much you wanted in the first place then!!!
Agree with the other statements above though,you're either selling something or you're not!

The 'Gauging Interest'/'Test the water' I see as ok, as long as they are actually trying to sell, and modifying the price as necessary. Although I can't stand people who seem to 'gauge interest' every fortnight or so!
The 'open to offers' bit does annoy me, but then again, you could make them an offer of £1 and keep giving increments of £1 until you reach a figure you both agree with!!

Either you have to sell the car and you go as low as you'll have to, or you say "I want x amount" and if the buyer isnt willing to pay that, then you dont sell the car to him. End of story.
