I'm trying to buy a used motor bike, but the clowns selling them don't seem to think the credit crunch should effect them
Just watching the amount of unsold/reserve not met cars & motorbikes on ebay is scarey.

Sold my Impreza and bought a load of shares in the company I work for. Lots of people trying to sell cars seem to be asking unreasonably high prices then moaning about nothing selling. It will sell if it's properly priced!
Thinking about putting one of my houses on the market next spring as well for another project.

No won't be giving it away 
I rent it out, have owned it for 16 years and rented out. I'm planning a renovation of a property in Ireland and need to fund that. If I don't get what I'm looking for I'll keep renting it out until the market improves.

Nope, spending as little as possible. Was planning on selling my car and trading up, but am now selling it and trading down to bank the remainder.
People should be saving money, not spending. Brown and his crazy government want people to spend spend spend to keep the bubble going - but all this will do is prolong the pain, as at the end of the day it's not sustainable.
The sooner we get to a sustainable level the better. Not until then will we start to see things get better overall.

I'd suggest you won't get many buyers for the car, and won't get much for it.....however you will get a bargain when you come to buy.
Lots of cars on ebay not meeting reserve.

Spend within your means .
Surely if everybody hoards their money ,it will leave the economy stagnant and more people will end up out of work .??
I am not saying go and hammer the Visa .

Was pretty shocked when I looked at sold prices a couple of weeks back on Ebay! Car (2004 A3 Sport) has lost over 30% of it's value this year! But yeah I remember looking at sold prices of new shape Boxsters back in August and was amazed when I saw one at £26k, but now only 3-4 months later I've seen them to go for £16-17k! 
Things look set to get much worse however, hence why I've decided to trade down for now.
