eBay tat volume 3.


Recommended Posts

I've emailed a few LeBonCoin ads over the years. In all that time ever only has 1 response. If there is a phone number always ring. French seem to ignore emails?

That's because email is still a new thing to most French people.  They are still getting their heads round the fact that 3615 Leboncoin isn't a thing any more.

Lol, indeed. Many ads say this or variations on 'Ne répond pas au mail et au sms'.

 

Like for this lovely Simca.

Saw an ad the other day from just 2015.  It said 

 

D'abord allumer le Minitel, puis décrocher le téléphone, et taper 3615. leboncoin.

 

and other 

 

Autre alternative: ressortez votre minitel et tapez 3615 “LeBoncoin”! Attention : le véhicule c'est bien, mais la sape compte pour beaucoup

For the cost of putting that CF2 ice cream van back on the road, you can buy a fully working and MOT'd van as well

Anyone dying to own a tidy 2007 Peugeot 207 1.4? It's lowish mileage (71k) and has 12 months' MOT, my neighbour is trying to sell it at the moment and is getting fed up with the steady stream of time wasters. She's asking for £2000, no idea if that's realistic but I suspect she'd consider a fair offer.

Not a bad little motor to be fair, would think the age is probably the killer. The simple people in life will just see that you can (probably) get a 2009 one for the same price, then totally ignore the mileage and condition of your neighbour's.

Slower than a weekend locked in a Rhyl B&B with Nigel Mansell, steers like the Sesame Street bus, bloody awful to drive and should be consigned to a museum. But enough of the Mercedes, here's a Commer

It does seem to be attracting the pedantic-but-clueless kind of buyer from what she's told me, a fair few viewings which have gone on too long and not resulted in so much as an offer.  To be honest I've never even sat in it but it seems to have done her well for a couple of years and looks very tidy.
