I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned 'SEATS LEIK TOP GERE' or suchlike.

I very much like the concept of Alfa interior seating, but no wife is ever going to agree to that amount of checker-plate inside the house. Great idea ruined by shit ugly metalwork.

^ What a fooking div,

 

Dateless

No it's not!

 

Please book if you wish to view the number plate prior to purchase

Er?

If you wack something on eBay with a buy it now of a million quid, how much in the way of sellers fees would they stiff you for?

Posted

that guy's having A 14VGH if he thinks that shit plate is worth anywhere near a million.

How many times has this abortion been listed?

A Custom Steering Wheel & Handbrake grip were sourced in carbon effect leather which whilst not period certainly enhance the overall effect

 

Yes, it was all going so well until you fitted those non-period bits...

 

What an utter jizzmop.

WTF is a Swallowtail??????? From here it just looks like the old-banger Mk1 Golf my mate scrapped 25 years ago.

Posted

It's to do with the back panel, the very first Golf's rear panel was like this.

Lofoten Green (L61H) 1974 VW Golf Mk1 Swallowtail with Autoplas rear window louvres by retromotoring, on Flickr

 

They are classed as the holy grail by VW fans, I don't understand why either but they can make BIG money.

 

And standard Mk1 rear panel is like this.

A straight swage line with no kinks.

The most ridiculous thing about those swallow-tail Golfs is that I'm yet to see a swallow that looks like the back end of a Golf. It's the same sort of manufactured bullsh*t that sees people referring to 2-door BMW E30s as coupes.

Rear mounted radiator a belting idea. -371/10.

Is it a faux pas to put my own stuff in this thread?

 

Me and a mate are breaking a van. Had the tailgate for sale on forums for £50, no takers for 3 weeks so my mate boshes it on ebay:

Bastard madness!

 

Sliding door handle was offered on forums for £15, no takers. now on ebay at £41

10 year old petrol drinking V6 Laguna II with some ominous electrical tomfoolery going on. £1200 starting price. And the mileage isn't even special either!

It was advertised under the 4 wheel drive section which is why i bought it and also why im selling it, Even though it is a dream to drive and I will be sorry im many ways to part with it but I do require a 4 wheel drive vehical.with higher road clearence

 

Huh? So he thought it was 4wd? What a plank

Why not. This is probably the best percentage profit I've made on Ebay - bought job lot of mudflaps for next to nothing, sold these for:

 

$(KGrHqUOKkME5,sNNEOWBOf4dY8Ibw~~60_12.JPG

 

£107.99

 

Which was nice (apparently the going rate for NOS Tourer ones is higher still)

*** Rare and Exclusive Private Number Plate - " A LAUGH " ***

 

I think your chances of buy a valid plate that is "unique" are probably quite good....................

Posted

Soz to be a slight party pooper here, but isn't the idea of this thread to list stuff that's advertised for a stupid price rather than reaching it through bidding? Not that it hasn't been interesting to see how much random stuff is fetching though!

Fair enough, I wasn't intending to make it a regular thing, I was just excited at making 1/3rd of the purchase price of the whole vehicle back though selling just the tailgate and a single door handle :D

 

 

But when you think about it, isn't stuff reaching a high price through bidding also down to eBay users having a bizzarely inflated sense of what something is worth? Only in this case, there was at least two of them for each item.

There is a thread entitled 'Autoshiters communual ebay crap thread' (http://autoshite.commlm/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5283) to flog your own bits. Or if you have a lot of car stuff to sell I doubt anyone would mind if you started your own thread.

 

This thread was just to have a laugh at overpriced tat on ebay and seller's unrealistic valuations.

I thought cobblers' tat was worth posting in here as it seems well pricey! I never bother looking at the communal thread as i imagine it to be full of fish tanks, weight benches, Sega mega drive games etc.

Mr_Bo11ox's thread. Mr_Bo11ox's rules.

 

Anyways, an absolutely mint condition MkII Transit camper might* be worth Five Grand. But this one ain't.

Need to move it on quick as wife hates it

 

Starting bid: £5,000.00 [ 0 bids ]

 

"Well love, I've had it on Ebay all week with no takers. There's no point in giving it away, is there?"

Can there be any situation where a Renner 5 is worth nearly 40 grand?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190639715905

ah - but then that's an unfiddled with Turbo 2 it's basically a racing car in a renner 5 shell - mid engined - they only made about 1500 Turbo 2's - rare as you like and one of THE cars to have on the historic motorsports circuit.

£40k might be a tad salty but it won't be cheap in anyway

 

120mph 0-60 in about 6 seconds - very quick for the period - one of the maddest of the hot hatches - more of a racing car than a road car and the outrageous rear wheel set up was GR9 4 CLONKING CYKLIZTS & GETTING STUK IN FILNG STAYSHUNS

 

There's a minter on C&C at the moment for £36k
