Ebay, what a pile of poo!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...539623101&rd=1
Got my wifes car on at the moment, about 4 hours left. It really annoys me how everybody on there seems to want something for nothing!! They want to start bidding at £100 for a 4k car, numptys!! There are no real bargains to be had like everyone bleats on about. You get what you pay for!! Pay a pitance and get shoddy goods, pay the expected price and you may get a genuine article. Looks like this ad' was another waste of my time and money!! Never mind. Rant over.:Whatever_ Gav. |
My eBay pet hate . . . when you purchase something but the seller doesn't leave you feedback until you leave feedback for them :mad: . . . hang on . . . I've paid upfront and fulfilled my part of the deal, why wait to see what I say about you before leaving me feedback ? Winkers :mad:

dont understand the reserve? Just put the start price at the lowest you will take.
|
My pet hate regarding eBay is that I didn't come up with it first!!
:mad::D |

Due to my missus answering the latest question on the screen she has now basically told everbody what price she is looking for, Doh!! |
Seeing as you've set a reserve price, why didn't you start the bidding at £1?
|
I appreciate the low mileage, but after a quick look on Parkers, you seem to be asking over the odds, even at your reserve.

Garages around here have got them on with higher mileage at 4.5k - 5k. |

Garages around here have got them on with higher mileage at 4.5k - 5k. Private sale - circa £2800 Appreciate your mileage is about half what would be expected for the age. Seems to be some disparity on prices between your local dealers and parkers. |

a) The dealer probably won't achieve the screen price b) You're not a dealer |

Low mileage doesn't make all that much difference when the car is 6 or 7 years old. |

a) The dealer probably won't achieve the screen price b) You're not a dealer Im asking for a minimum 4k. With very low miles, fsh and faultless bodywork. I've also seen private sales that compare to this for higher mileage models. |
You rarely get the full book value on ebay unless the car's rare - yours isn't!

sold 3 cars on there very easily from 3k to 20k...just put the price i wanted and set no reserve.

Well NetworkQ are asking well over Parker's prices - no idea what they are actually selling them for though: http://vauxhall.co.uk/networkQ/vehic...ehicleType=Car

Looking in Autotrader there are a number of similar cars with similar mileage at around £3995 - so I would suggest you are a bit ambitious.
Also if you took it to the local auction house what would you expect to get ? Surely Ebay is going to be no better than that ? £2500-3000 max I would think in an auction. |
1999- 34.5k- £4995- Network Q
Appreciate that this is Network Q but the prices are still way higher than anything i'm asking for!! |

There is no manual feedback input at all except in the setting up beforehand. On the subject of the car then I personally would say reserves are pointless. Start at or very near to a figure you would accept and you might just be surprised when a couple of bidders battle between themselves. Taking your home phone number out of the auction might be a good move too. |

Too much emphasis is put on 0 feedback, everyone starts there after all. Negative feedback for non paying and misrepresenting items etc are the ones to watch, and only then can such comments be trusted if they were left by a decent person in the first place. |

When I've paid via paypal which is most of the time they have the money in their account but still don't leave feedback until you've left feedback for them :mad: It's like they are holding you to ransom so that you don't leave back feedback for them being slack :mad: Yet another rant over :rolleyes: |
