Bloody Ebay Watchers!
I have currently got my scooby on ebay, been running now for around 4 days (another 6 to go), I have 30 Watchers and had over 700 views, surely with that many views n watchers you'd expect a bid....but noooooo
Maybe im asking too much or maybe people are watching to see how much i get so they can price theres up.
It winds me up, I have been constantly checking and so forth to see if any changes but water seems calm n STILL!
I have been offered a few cars for swap (n 125 Crosser worth around £400) ranging from BMW 318 New shape, Rover BRM, Escort RS2000, Mondeo etc....
I just think ebay is full of window shoppers...
The point is, has anyone on here actually sold a car on ebay?

I had a Bug Sti up on there about 4 years ago, daft swaps offered and close offers I have to say, let it run on, didn't sell and didn't relist it - Sold to a Guy who saw my For Sale car window signs, outside the house !!

Oh yes defo, i aint drove a better car than a scoob's, but next time will be buying a newer one (with turbo) as had enough with paying out on parts n labour, joys of owning a 14 year old (nearly 15) car!!
Will be very sad to see it go but at the end of the day, money is tight n with my son just starting school, its hitting hard!

A lot of people will bid on an item they want to win in the last few minutes, it seems to be the easiest way of winning something you really want. Never bid on a car before though, so don't know if the same would apply there. The idea is that you bid really late therefore not giving other bidders time to put a counter bid in.

i had listed my car 5 times recently on ebay, a few people offering me rediculous cash offers also had plenty of offers for swaps and some phone calls but nothing came of it.
spent a few quid to list aswell, so will put a for sale sign in the window and see if goes that way.
as need the cash for xmas.
hope you car sell's and you get what you want for it
