  1. You mean you’ve poached adverts without the authority of the sellers.
  2. 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.
  3. MrC, join Twittercardealers link and speak to Jem http://twittercardealers.ning.com/forum/topic/list?sort=mostRecentlyUpdatedDiscussions
  4. You need fibre broadband, otherwise the upload to YouTube takes forever. I use iMovie app and its easy simple

  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Wrap the petrol cap graphite style, the boy racers will love it
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Jim, I thought you were making it happen through facebook ?
  15. Agreed follow your heart and make it happen
  16. I generally flip 75% monthly. But, you don’t know your market
  17. Retire....BS....buying and selling is in your blood..You know that I'm never going to retire...My Mum used to take me to jumble sales when I was a kid, I used to buy all the blue and white china and ride my BMX ( early 1980's looptail PK Ripper) (someone will know) to the local antiques shops and flog it......
  18. XFS, I’m with you....I have no tolerance at all for wasters.
  19. Guy calls yesterday morning, says he wants to buy and he agrees he will pay a paypal deposit to me with 10 mins ( I sent him the invoice ). Anyway, 2 hours later nothing has arrived and he's not answering the phone, I try him again later in the afternoon, he's not responding.... Anyway the car sold last night, substantial deposit received by transfer.....Job done. This morning, I wake up to three emails from the non-payer asking numerous stupid questions and why isn't his car still advertised. He doesn't mention anything about not paying the promised deposit.. This in my response....... "Andy, I waited patiently for your deposit (you assured me it’ll arrive within 10mins). As you already know, you didn’t pay neither did you show me the courtesy to tell me you weren’t going to or able to pay. I really don’t appreciate you lying to me. Politeness and courtesy costs nothing.As you can see the listing has ended and the car has sold to a Gent who keeps to his word. Kindest Regards"
  20. Apologies Mat, sorry to be sold childish.....was it "Sangpoopong"
  21. Id rather blind myself with a spoon than own it, the fact that "Sangpoopong" wont reply and underwrite it themselves speaks volumes Its about as desirable as a wart on yer thomas
  22. Mat, why plough thousands into one of the most undesirable cars on the market. Do a WBAC value and then knock off a couple of k because of all the trouble it’ll cause you....
  23. Of course, but only from a different users account, separate name address and email. No links.
