Personally I don't think there is a right or wrong with pricing and negotiating. At the end of the day you have a minimum price you can take to cover your costs, ideally you want to make as much as you can but 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing. Given you were already concerned about it sticking at least it has now gone, whether that was the price or they happened to be looking for cars in general I guess only the buyer knows. well done in getting the sale though.

well done for shifting it,use the money wisely glasshopper i always try to work out the bottom bottom price if i need to shift something thats become my landmark but always add in customer warranty work if self warranting like me because when times are quiet its always the time we get big comebacks that eat that small profit my motto is if i have to bend to do the deal and it might go pear to a major moaner i would rather not do the deal theres always a bum for every seat remember,we just have to find the bums

Cheers for the further feedback guys. I think it's important that we use this discussion to share success stories, industry trends, good stock, bad stock, low points etc We're all in this together let's help one another out. For me it's been fairly quiet, moved a couple of units on in the last few weeks but my "results" might be tainted by the fact that I had new stock in prep so not a large market front. Most is now prepped, old stock re-imaged, refreshed and back online. Still trialling RAC cars (nightmare) and ebay motors in a hope that we'll be able to wave goodbye fully to AT.

I've got a little combo that I've had since last February (2014) now but similar ones are still doing the same money under the hammer today so what's the point of mugging it away only to buy another one that needs prepping.

I only use ebay but even that's quiet at the moment, have tried most other things but not with any great success

Interesting question Jack ! Look forward to seeing the results !

Oooooh morettes ? i picked up a cabby a few years ago on eBay as a non runner. I then tidied it up a little bit, you know, the usual......Rebuilt the suspension, powered coated everything ....... Then I sold it.

At least you get some profit out of an oddball. Every now and then I have a moment of weakness and buy a top tenner (usually a Corsa SXi) and end up regretting it when I only make a drink out of it. Sad thing is, I know I'll do it again like I'm back in 1999 when the current rules of engagement didn't apply.
