    Best system is Mercedes STAR, but it depends on the guy scanning it using common sense and some knowledge.

    I'm assuming its a petrol ?

    Forgot to mention, there is a sort of copy of STAR available as a hand held scanner called the i980 (Mercedes version) for £100

    I used to track 10-20 cars a day to get 2-4, now I have to track over 100 to come close to walking away kinda happy that I've got a few with a decent mark up.

    I don't know how you manage it.

    If I'm tracking a dozen cars on LiveBid in a morning, I will without fail miss 2-3 of them.

    Miraculously 7 people bid at the same time in the hall and it's at 11,100 within 2 seconds.  P/Wood are notorious for this, I refuse to go there now.
    Another trick they do is the double hall bid.
    It's at 11,100 - No bids for a good few seconds... You bid, then amazingly it's spurred another 2 hall bidders on and now you're at 11,500.  It's a simple enough strategy to do as so many fall for it and they catch you when you're spam clicking.  They go back and say "Sorry Hall Bid", `Yes Mr Auctioneer, you saw 2 bids while you were starring at the monitor watching for my next bid`...  You  know what ones do it, just bid the once, they'll learn not to do it to you.

    Last thing I've noticed.  They don't take your first bid.  Hall doesn't seem interested at 10 for example, auctioneer is begging for a bid.  You bid, then here come the woodworms with their several bids.  At the moment, I'll say if you're in need of stock get down the halls and off the internet. It's a running fest.

    Steve is bad for this, although does let a lot go cheaply for no hassle bidders

    Well, this is my last month anyway.

    Got 2 to shift.

    Anyone want a 58 plate Audi TTS roadster. One owner, full history with less than 34k miles. Black, Red and black leather. In top retail condition. Had it 2 months and not a phone call on it. 

     

    What's wrong with it ??!

    Just looked up the advert and it looks stunning. 

    Sort of thing that should sell within a week of advertising
