Sorry to hear that Twerp

Can anyone recommend a good trade workshop or mobile smart reparer ? Cheers AD

Nick, I think anyone looking for a S Line will already know the Black Edition spec would need to be searched for seperately. Some cars just sit around.... bit like all of mine at the mo

To be honest I have been thinking about making part of my video a skit of Arthur Daily..... I’ve even bought a sheepskin for it..... Re phone tracking, how does it know where they have seen the advert ?

Hi Rory, no I don’t. How does it work?

If only I had a like button.........

Erm, because its not been driven......

BHM, I always find its easier selling the cheaper cars by video, it takes a away their ability to negotiate and it also makes selling the car a much nicer process. Billies don't have the anxiety in meeting you. I could amagine you doing a John Cleese character type of video, would be hilarious.....

Very true... Looking at it that way makes it a no brainer

As a really loyal eBayer selling cars since 2002, I have watched its decline, a lot of us have..... My EMP package is £175.20 + VAT, no Gumtree. Over the last year and more importatntly the last 3 months its been dead, all my sales are from AT.. hardly any enquiries at all.... Anyone else seeing the same ? I'm ready to end EMP..... But then I think it's only £175......

Emails, text, phonecalls where they don't use my name or leave their name.... When they call from one number and say call back on another.... When they ring and say they're local and just want to "av a look".. erm no watch the fucking video and pay the deposit like veryone else. I have watched your video, but I would never buy a car like that, when can I av a look....... All my cars are BIN, yes I know but I just want to av a look.....

I used to say, if you want it call me, don’t call to tell me you don’t want it.

I had an Allroad last year with a cloth interior that had been chewed / destroyed by a dog. It had no bids at the auction for weeks, I bought it well under bottom book, bought a new leather interior off eBay for £300.... it sold straight away for a very healthy profit.

Common TV divulge your billy annoyances....

Wait until you’ve gone through years of it.... Genuine buyers leave a message.

Scumbags, the height of rudeness. I’ve stopped ringing them, if they can’t be assed to leave a message then they aren’t genuinely interested. Anyone with a modicum of education knows it’s rude not to leave a message.

It really bugs me when I get missed calls with no message, sometimes multiple calls in a short period of time... What is wrong with these people, it’s so fecking rude.

I used to have to reread his posts multiple times before I worked out what he was saying....

Twerp. I am sure you are aware. The PDI is fundamental to our job, with it signed by the customer it proves the car was fit for purpose at the point of sale. A fresh MOT is also fundamental. Being responsible retailers and substantiating it is our job. If, as a retailer you do not understand this then you are just waiting to be raped.

Cheers Dave

Cheers Nick, my thoughts too.

Dave, my Viano’s air kompressor over the last few weeks “when remote opening the car” has started to groan a lot more often ending with a chuff of air ? It’s driving perfectly well with no issues...but occasionally when left for a while it sags slightly on the OSR.... what are your thoughts? S

As a loyal ebayer I agree, it’s died to the point I’m not getting last price emails. I’m sure the cretins have all gone Facebook, where it’s free and without rules.
