  1. Whatever you do never accept a Credit Card.....,,Beware https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/section75-protect-your-purchases
  2. Too add again, if they are not prepared to buy remotely on the basis of trusting your description, you can then question their integrity on whether they are a genuine buyer.....Make the feckers prove to YOU they won't waste YOUR time with an deposit....You are then in control
  3. BHM, If you accurately video the car prior to collection and guarantee accuracy you’ll sell them over the phone, guarantee a full refund if your wrong. Just call their bluff upfront, full refund if you’ve mis-represented. You’ll stop the morons chipping you and gain trust online. Accuracy is the key. Try it..... you’ll see Too add, it'll save you so much time, sell on the basis of trust and accuracy. People buying bangers need a brutal advert, as you've already said...Sell yourself online to the buyer as trustworthy.... then the car, they'll buy remotely
  4. I’m seriously contemplating adding and emphasising in my videos “the price is the price” if you want to pay less simply buy a lesser car Mr Customer. But consider this, would you want to buy a cheap parachute ???
  5. Whats the last price... where are u in the country, does it come with rates, elec, water included? Would you take £75 for cash, tonight.. I can pay a week in advance... You got there before me....lol
  6. Hi Craig, I use my iPhone to video then upload it onto the iMovie, it’s really simple and quick, you definitely need to get fibre it’ll change your life
  7. SB. If you are privy to AT forum you will know there is currently uproar that they are adding dealers stock to their website without asking permission
  8. You mean you’ve poached adverts without the authority of the sellers.
  9. You can't, not shore now if you can show a link.... If you are a eBay Motors Pro customer you still have the video upload.
  10. MrC, join Twittercardealers link and speak to Jem http://twittercardealers.ning.com/forum/topic/list?sort=mostRecentlyUpdatedDiscussions
  11. You need fibre broadband, otherwise the upload to YouTube takes forever. I use iMovie app and its easy simple

  13. If that is the case SB, you should tell your brother in law to complain to the council. It is the against the law to have a sales vehicles parked on the road within 500m of each other. If however, the OP parks his cars with a distance of 500m between them then he is operating within the law.
  14. If you don’t take the mick, then there is no reason for the council to take issue. There is no law to say you can’t sell cars from your home, or you can’t give piano lessons, or sell your home grown vegetables, this is how small businesses grown into larger businesses which subsequently support, employ and fees the families of the local community.
  15. I can amagine if you turned your house into a forecourt with cars with prices, bunting, inflatable mitchelin men, signage and advertising on your local radio...the council might take issue with you.
  16. Change of use for your home address is very hard to prove, lots of professional people work remotely from home. MP’s, academicsmusic teachers, the list is endless. Of course you can work from home, as long as you, your wife and children live there as a family then they cannot say the use of the home has changed.. If however, you turned your home into a drive through hand car wash the council will have issues.
  17. Wrap the petrol cap graphite style, the boy racers will love it
  18. Sell your customers your own self administered warranty. You buy the booklets from Lawgistics, the warranty period, claim limit and coverage is completely flexible, plus all the money goes into your back pocket.
  19. Legal way ? There is nothing illegal in trading without a forecourt, you just need to do it professionally. Finding space to store cars which is safe and secure, with the right business use and logistics is the enemy. I will always help someone who gets off their ass and to try at earn their own living. Just as long as they are legal and paying their way. Hi Paul, I’m an internet based business. After 31 years in the trade I have specifically chosen not to operate like a forecourt. I sell all my cars to customers who have watched my video appraisal and made the decision to buy on the basis of it. My purchase process it designed to eliminates Timewasters, it also guarantees neither parties time is wasted. You need to make the effort to watch the video. Regards Simon Ignore from hi Paul, stupid cut n paste whilst in the pub.
  20. It is illegal to park sales vehicles within 500m of each other. Your neighbours will hate you and the council will be onto you. Don’t show the registration in any advertising and park the cars in different areas away from residential parking. Rotate them every 3/4 days. Tax the car by DD and cancel when sold. You will need a Motor Traders insurance policy and apply for self employed status with HMRC. Good luck.
  21. Jim, I thought you were making it happen through facebook ?
  22. Agreed follow your heart and make it happen
  23. I generally flip 75% monthly. But, you don’t know your market
