ebay 'BARGAINS'

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?"

[Renault18]

What colour is the sky on this guy's planet

[scooters]

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

[Ross_K]

So the seller is actually in the ballpark with his price? Sweet holy Jeebus.

 

 

 

Still, 40 grand for a Renault?

[flat4alfa]

Don't knock it

 

Nigel Mansell drove a Renault.

[face]

If I was stupidly wealthy I'd pay £40k for something like that.

 

I suppose the seller is hoping for somebody in that situation.

[Cavcraft]

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

 

 

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.

 

Apologies, I was having a twattish moment

I imagine even more rarer GpB motors like 205s and RS200s would be worth more.

HOLY SHIT!

[ProgRocker]

£2,895 for a Fiat Panda 4x4 Sisley

 

Lesser spotted Panda

[Cavcraft]

Looks in nice nick but £9,400?

MK1 Jetta

 

1.9 TD

 

 

Price: £3,200

[cobblers]

Ignoring the price, it wouldn't take a lot of de-bumming to turn that into a decent car, espesh with the TD in it.

 

If it was about £800 I'd be looking for ways to raise a bit of cash and seeing how much I could sell the wheels and roof rack to some unimaginative hanger on for.

[flat4alfa]

Dare ya to offer £800 on it

[Mr_Bo11ox]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-P100-Pop ... 0946643404

 

This P100 would make a handy truck for someone with a DIY project on the go, its only nine grand so works out cheaper than hiring 400 skips.

[cort16]

That P100 is a joke. You could barely credit it if it had 3000 miles on it or something but it's got 58k and replacement Alfa front seats.

Purple Horse? I think he's been necking Purple Hearts to be honest.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I think that purple Helmet could be a regular on this thread, he's got a horrible chrome-arched Granada up for £5k and this:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Go ... 0750993026

 

Tidy but unremarkable 5-dr Golf GTi (presumably 8v)

 

BELONGED TO WRITER AT CLASSIC CAR MAGAZINE!

 

Ah! That explains why its £3000

[AndyW201]

Purple helmet also has a comedy priced Merc 190e cosworth as well. One of the mods over on mercedes190.co.uk owned it and it was hanging. The sills, rear inner and outer arches and front wings were all going big time and was worth £2k tops. Now quickly blown over and for sale with that nutcase for £6995. That money will buy a really nice cossie, but not that one!

[mk2_craig]

£2495 is clearly crazy for a low spec 205. That said, I may have to eat my words in a few years time if rally tax becomes a big deal with these things, I should imagine mint standard Sunbeams are starting to go for daft money.

[flat4alfa]

Not as crazy as £5k for his boggo Orion

[trigger]

The same guy has this too!

£8995

[Cavcraft]

I think we're missing a trick here.

 

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-Vauxhall ... 8220558094

 

£20.83+VAT per week. Read the bottom of the page, that figure is based on a 24 month hire period.

 

£20.83+VAT = £25.00 per week.

 

52 x £25.00 = £1,300.

 

52 x 2 = £2,600

 

Just to hire the bastard!

BARGAIN

[Spiny Norman]

£1200 bin bargain.....

 

 

Very hard to find a so good and solid car as this one is,loads of new parts to go togeder with the car

[Akron]

I think we're missing a trick here.

 

Did you see the TATA pickup they are offering for £29.17 per week?

[wuvvum]

52 x 2 = £2,600

 

To be fair, if Platinum Auto Rentals can find people stupid enough to pay that kind of money to rent an old crate, then good luck to them.
