Well of course I intended to bid, just didn't expect to win, thought it would go for loads more. I guess curiousity really did kill the cat.

sierraman Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Flog it on here. If it’s tested for 12 months you should see what you paid for it back even if to run it until the test runs out. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Galaxy goes today, leaving me with 1999 Nissan Almera - worth £250 at a push? 1992 Rover 416 auto - £385 1987 Mazda 323 - £300. Triple roffle? ????

spartacus Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 There's a harsh lesson here but that's not going to help your immediate predicament. You could contact the seller and sound them out, they may have been expecting more and want to relist, although I would expect them to want the fees. Failing that, as others have said, collect and roffle, I'll have 6 and 26 please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I've just done a calculation. After bills, I have £399.76 left to last me to 26th July. That leaves £14.76 to survive on. Oh fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you agree to cancel the sale they should get their fees refunded. It's even an automatic; I'm sure you said recently you didn't want another auto!

Cavcraft Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I don't think cancelling the purchase on eBay is the thing to do, it's not the seller's fault after all. Vince70, Dick Longbridge, HillmanImp and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree; I was just elaborating on Spartacus's thought that the seller may have wanted more money and prefer to cancel as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Someone here will want that at that money surely? (I’ve got a fucked automatic Rover incoming already so I’m out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Honestly - just message the person they may be able to second chance offer it. You will have to insure it and then pay for collection - you wont have any money left for the money. skattrd, Lacquer Peel and paulplom 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it was on my watch list, and I was like - Ooh, I wonder how the bidding is going....Oh, I'm highest bidder...Don't worry Alan, there's loads of time left, it's worth much more. Then 24 hours later. I wonder how much it went for in the end, shame as it was a nice car..... Oh fuck. Cue largest panic attack I've had for a few years. ? busmansholiday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I would help bail you out but I am so close to going away on holiday I dont think I could risk not having the money back before I go away.....if we were to roffle it ?

dave j Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 You could see if the seller wouldn't mind waiting a couple weeks for collection? Would buy you some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I've asked the seller if he would either offer it to the next bidder and I'll pay the difference or wait until payday. I feel like such a twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'd love it myself but like you I am in skintstown. Otherwise I'd pay you, you pay him and I'd simply go and collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
