ebay 'BARGAINS'

[Negative Creep]

Now there you could indeed be onto a growing niche market.

 

 

I think the Blue Forum is fulfilling that

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Now I love these and I'm trying to buy one at the moment, but £5995?

They have such a half arsed white room. All their photos are overexposed, presumably in an attempt to hide the brickwork on the wall behind, and they never bother to Photoshop out the floor which would be about three seconds work. 

 

4StarClassics do a really nice job and I'd totally buy an eighty grand Honda from them. 

 

♫ You are entering the white room, yeah that's the password, and you can leave your Glass's at the door now

Sorry I know this is controversial but I have to list this again, it's even funnier this time.  Apparent HGF, not that that throws him.  Even more threats as well.  Really thought he might have scrapped the thing by now.

I see his username is now "car_mad". Just "mad" would probably be more appropriate.

 

No pisstakers though - he drives a Volvo now dontchaknow...

Best put that on my watch list !!

[autofive]

*watching*

[meshking]

Seriously? A garage wouldn't MOT it because the head gasket had failed? Sounds suspect...

[autofive]

presumably it would fail on emissions

 

maybe the garage didnt refuse, but rather told him it would fail.

[John F]

Watched.

 

Seriously though, this bloke is not in the real world. In the knowledge that his crappy old car now has HGF as well as no MoT, he's knocked off all of £25 from his original unrealistically high price.

 

What a bell end.

[EssDeeWon]

No Pug expert but that M reg 405 is surely scrap? £200 driven on the weigh bridge on a good day?

 

The fact the guy cant even be bothered to upload a pic to let potential bidders see the peice of chod winds me up alone!!

[Wilko220]

Don't forget that any valuation should take into consideration the monetary value of the loose change which is jamming the handbrake...

Interesting how this was 3 months ago but he never mentioned it in previous listings

[Charlie Croker]

^{I'm hoping Puggy guy isn't ripping the urine out off us by playing a bit of reverse psychology on us. He could well be sat giggling at us giggling at him (if you know what I mean).}

[autofive]

i hope so

 

as hes stroing a shagged pug for months on end

 

whos having the last laugh?

Maybe i'm wrong but nearly £3000 for a Bedford Rascal with a nice set of wheels seems a hell of a lot of money, even if it does belong to Mystery Machine.

It felt wrong not to put that on the 'watch list'. So I did

[Quintus]

This isn't an e-bay listing, but I guess this is the most suitable thread.

 

Hands up who'd willingly pay £53k for this?

[trigger]

 

That looks pretty perfect for any of our premier footballers to me looking so tacky and shite.

[Quintus]

Who knows. I guess it's the HR Owen Surrey Pimp edition.

[darkfour]

I'll admit to knowing next to nothing about these (except what Wikipedia says) but $135,000 still seems a lot of money to me

[meggersdog]

What the fuck is that even trying to be?

Looks like a Nene Underhand Icon only twice the price.

[mouseflakes]

That Saab 99 from a page back is a joke - the rot by the rear wheel arch probably extends underneath - at least it did on mine, which didn't look as bad as that from outside. At least the seller is good enough to include the photo - but you think they'd bear it in mind when setting the price. Plus it's a four door auto - probably the least desirable configuration for these?

 

Have another - dented R18 for 4 grand on Gumtree.

 

[jonny69]

It felt wrong not to put that on the 'watch list'. So I did

 

Well, well, what a turn up for the books. Duly added

 

So... since sellers can't leave negative feedback to buyers, are we going to bid this up? Don't forget you can also bid and completely legitimately retract bids up to 24 hours before the auction ends. I suggest we take it up to about £575 before all pulling out.

[autofive]

each bid retraction shows on your profile.

 

the seller could end the auction at any time and the highest bidder would 'win' the auction

[Pillock]

Also remember he's threatened to report p*isstakers....

 

I get the impression that we're not the only forum who get the popcorn out every time this thing hits the bay. What we need is a Welsh member to go and view the car, give it a good going-over. With a hidden camera.

'this is the real deal, not a white razor back painted red or black but a genuine factory paprika red base vehicle so no nasty white engine bay or door shuts etc,'

 

Yes, that DEFO makes it worth 20 grand then

By that logic, this must be worth at least £5k for being original then...

[cobblers]

That will probably fetch 2k. I've been with a mate to buy worse and paid more (with less miles OBV) and with a cheap lick of paint and 3 weeks work turning it into a camper it'll bring a 3k profit.

[Hertz]

Dodge Commer with no MOT and needs a repaint for £8250 anyone?

The body needs a repaint and the rubbers replacing (ALL CAN BE SUPPLIED WITH IT EXCEPT 1/4 LIGHTS) IT'S BY NO MEANS PERFECT AND HAS HAd A FEW BUMPS AND SCRAZES DURING IT'S LIFE
