D Spares & Tyres Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 I don't know. I've been selling cars for 22 years and have dealt with many thickos but this is a new phenomenon. They must be bored as well as thick The Old Bloke Next Door 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 It's a buying tactic. They find a bunch of stuff that meets whatever criteria they have, message all of the sellers "£100 2nite m8" and whichever is best of the bunch (in their estimation) for the price gets bought. They then do fuck all to it and attempt to punt it on at a vastly inflated price via social media. It's not exactly the smartest strategy, it's just that enough knuckle draggers believe it works that it keeps being a thing.

Exactly, and they also then decide that if you'll come down £100 on the phone/by messenger, you'll come down even more if they ever bother to turn up. Which, of course, they don't.

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 This happened todayThen thisAnother decent shiter met, nice to meet you Ceri. He was only moving it on behalf of another shiter. This will be the fourth car we have dealt together with and as usual it's been an easy pleasant transaction. He knows what he wants and doesn't fuck about. Angrydicky, The Old Bloke Next Door, somewhatfoolish and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianRetro Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Is that, "committed", as in, "committed in terms of the Mental Health Act", or, "committed", as in, "determined - showing commitment"?

Tadhg Tiogar Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Is that, "committed", as in, "committed in terms of the Mental Health Act", ....I think they use the term "sectioned" nowadays.....which may well happen to the Allegro Plah if Six-Cyl can't get it running.

adw1977 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 If you had waited one more day then you would have had a strong contender for the January 2021 calendar with that shot of the Allegro on the trailer. Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
