Yeah I understand pricing needs to be treated with caution. I look at CAP GLASS then look at AT Motors.co.uk find the mean and go from there. BORO Paul, no it wasn't the flipping cars show. I have fingers in a few pies. I work as a photographer with Getty Images - very part time now. I am head of maintenance at a huge 16th century mansion in the Cotswolds which I love, mainly because i'm the only bloke amongst 10 women, hehe! I have also tried selling watches on Ebay, Importing coffee from Indonesia, Property developing, but fell out with family, selling gadgets etc but think the margins/profits/risk and my liking for both cars and superbikes is where I think I want to be at the moment. Plus the risk involved is low, I have something I could sell back to a trader or stick it back through an auction if things go tits up. As for overheads, yeah you are right. But I still have faith that I can still and will make money out of this business : ) If im wrong im wrong but let's see what happens. We arnt talking millions........Yet!! Thanks for the best of luck and I will keep you guys posted.

Hi Nick. The guides are only a point of reference and should be treated with caution. Retail back pricing has to be used but you will not achieve franchise dealer levels of pricing when selling from home so have to allow for this. Your advert looks nice and clear with good pictures. Need to be careful of convincing yourself that you have no overheads. Trade insurance, phone bills, auction fees, accounting costs, multiple advertising costs, prep and valeting materials all add up even when operating from home. Wish you the very best of luck and do keep us posted on progress.
