Default An Autobuyer Calls

I have a car for sale (not the scooby) and have had no interest apart form someone ringing from "autobuyer". The bottom line is you hand over 50 notes and they promise to get a buyer for you, etc., etc. But they didn't say if this was at the price you were asking for.

Has anyone used them and if so how did you rate the service that the compnay provided?

Just in case you haven't got the message yet, DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE or others like them.

I know of at least two people who have paid £80 each and never had another phone call, one was about 2 years ago and the other was more like 4. So much for buyers standing by

Wasn't it Autodata who promised lots of buyers too and just took your money and you never heard anymore?

I tell them that, as they have buyers waiting, they can have TWICE what they want when I sell to a buyer referred by them!!

Funny how they don't want that deal?? If there were buyers then they should JUMP at it!!

It's all about taking your money ........ nowt about delivering anything
