Prepostrous 'rare' item spots on ebay

[Station]

These items always make me laugh, the 'rare' stuff that you can get anywhere else all the time, including on ebay itself.The other annoyance is the 'one of a kind', which is often referred to a standard car with hideous 18" Ripspeed alloys and a bee-sting aerial:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-VAUXHALL-AST ... 240%3A1318These cars are at the lowest price they're ever going to be now, so 2k with a higher reserve set is utterly ridiculous. How is this a 'one of a kind', you silly boy.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Classic-Rare- ... 240%3A1318

Recommended Retail Price from Vauxhall: Over £30 plus Postage(That's if you can find one as this is very Rare!!!!)

That's if you can find one - how about going to Vauxhall and seeking out their plentiful stock for £4.

As I'm not very bright could someone please explain how a one of a kind car can be be 'getting rarer by the day'

[Mr_Bo11ox]

the Astra lad reckons the BUY IT NOW PRICE IS £2000 NO OFFERS OR SWAPS but he's started his auction at 2 grand and stuck a reserve on top of that. Obviously hasnt full grasped how auctions work yet.

Hmmm, 'rare' does seem to be a somewhat overused term.

 

Check out this rarity. OMG I'm buying it to put in a museum. In fact, I'm on the phone to Beaulieu and Gaydon right now...

Yes, but it's an ...

 

Excellent oppurtunity to buy used 7 Seater in very good condition.

Like I've been waiting for an -excellent opportunity- to buy a sickly green, underpowered people carrier. We had a hire version one of these in 2.0 petrol, I can imagine the 1.6 is horrid.

 

Talk about wearing a horn out:

Some car's are 'rare' for good and very valid reasons, that Zafira fits in to the category.

[Anglevan]

Something tells me that Zafira has done a lot more mileage than showing. I have to run Astras for a company bus, have done since 2001 and have done many a mile in one - I've given em back with similiar mileage to that Zafira and the wheel / pedals / etc all were 10 times better nick than that one...

I second that... the early stuff was very problematic mainly the 'rare' 1.6 ones that my friends owned which both destroyed their own ECUs Oh, on the subject of rare badges, I have an even rarer 'HL' badge from the bootlid of my now deceased Mini... What'll it fetch on fleabay I wonder ?

It is, we were given one for a few days whislt Perrys tried to fettle the DPF system on oyr diesel version - it was soooooo slow, and not economical at all.

If you fancy getting rid of it, my Mini's HL badge has disintegrated and it's currently wearing a cut down HLE badge from a Triumph Acclaim...

A 'rare' Peugeot 206?*looks at auction*It's a silver 206, with a few parking dings. If that's rare then I must live in a museum, there's three on my street.As for the 'one of a kind' Astra, if he thinks Superchips only made one ECU and he's got it then he's a deluded little boy; that's the only engine mod he seems to have.
