Agree with this. Two years ago I sold a Renault Espace for 7k. A year later the same car was going through BCA under the UGCGS banner, having only done average mileage since it left me and having had no more change of keepers. The odd little mark here and there, apart from that it was the same car. I was delighted to buy it back for £3500 even though it was 'on sale' at 3k. God knows what my (ex) customer was thinking of although rumour has it he went on to manage Newcastle United.

This is not always the case, after doing this job for a long time it never ceases to amaze me how dumb some people are when it comes to dealing with money. I often wonder how these people survive from day to day. There are people that just would have no clue on how to sell a car and will either just give it away as a part exchange ( come on we have all had those customers ) or will just do an online valuation from a used car buyer and accept the first offer they are given. When they are knocked down even further at collection they just accept it because its in their nature. So although there will be lemons going to these buyers there will also be some very good stock. Just a gamble as always at auction.
