Vague ebay related thingy. I was winning (so far) on an MGF with a knackered rad. The car was in Essex and had about 3 or 4 days left to run. I came home today and the bloody thing had disappeared. No ebay message, nothing. How can I find out what happened? I don't have the details but I'd have thought there would be a log somewhere. Am very puzzled.

If there were a Richter scale level of tosspottery for eBay sellers, that knobhead would shake more foundations than an AC/DC concert in the middle of a shanty town during storm season.

Is it just me or does the car in the tunnel picture look nothing like the one in the auction catalog

They straightened it out a bit. Chap was going to do a full resto on it. Some PR chappy has been working overtime with it being described as 'the last Mini to leave Longbridge.' Seems the folk with truly silly money were not won over by that line!

They have doe that loads of times. I sent them an email once asking if they had made a mistake. They came out with some waffly crap about contacting them with the correct price. Some stupid advertising stunt IIRC. Substitute st for another letter more like. Bunch of fuckwits.

I'd imagine they don't have the part in stock, so don't know how much one will cost. You contact them, they ring a supplier, double the price, and get back to you with the "correct" figure. Pretty standard reselling practise but at least most people doing this can be arsed to look prices up first.

Seems that my local 2nd hand Jag dealer has taken up smoking crack:

I don't care how nice an example this is, it ain't worth shit. If I look on the 'sold' listings on Ebay the most expensive one to have sold recently was £862.51.

 

Next:

 

 

 

1982 Ford Escort MK3 1.1L Genuine

Okay, this does look pretty nice with only £16k on the clock but I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who wants to spend £2.5k on such a miserable fucking driving experience as this car will bring.

"I know the pictures are shit but I don't have a proper camera"

 

Brilliant, he must have enough invested in ebay listing fees to have bought a camera with a free Iphone attached to it by now.

I need the space as I drive a Volvo now

 

Surely we can start a justgiving fund or something to buy that 405 and put the whole internet out of it's misery.

I disagree. I don't see why we should reward this belming twat for his ignorant, thick-skinned perseverance in trying to sell a £200 car for twice its value.

Not even £200 at the moment, scrap value is shite. Its got OMGHGF and no MOT, the only thing it appears to have going for it is a 'large boot'

 

Not even worth it for spares on a base model.
