6 yesterday which was a boost to the confidence, hopefully keep the momentum up, Feb is shaping up nicely, much better feel than same time last year Jim

I agree. We need to establish that they are genuine traders. Moror trade insurance? Subscription confirmation from Glass's/CAP/HPI? Photocopy of trade plate confirmation? Account number with BCA or other recognised auction group? The majority of traders on this forum seem a sensible group and if we are offering vehicles for sale on here we want as much chance as possible of selling them or it will not work. Insisting on VAT registration status will limit the market and exclude traders who have recently started out and not hit the vat threshold and those that sell a couple of cars a month at a couple of grand a piece. Its another avenue for us to buy and sell so it sounds like a good idea to me.

I've always found that if they're out in the rain they're buying!

VAT Number and website maybe? It's a tough call as could turn it a lot of hassle of policing it if not kept simple. Maybe new members can only buy cars and not sell until 'approved'. It's a great idea James but I think you need to think how responsible you want to be for it as it's a good dead which could turn into a chore which wouldn't be fair on yourself.
