    You've absolutely given those away

    yup, end up at the end of the sale at Wilsons on a Friday

    I agree with everything above regarding big auction houses/fees/general section etc. But depending on what you have to sell, I seem to remember Chelmsford Aston Barclay used to be OK, plenty of privates at the 'Saturday' sales after a bargain! And being in the 'general' didn't make so much of a difference. To my mind, if you are going to sell at auction you want to reach private buyers rather than other traders so evening/weekend sales. I've had varying luck on Ebay, I always felt lucky that the sale went through, I can't imagine how guys can use it as their sole advertising method?

    ebay, where do you start, utter pile of wank and home of the time waster

    Ebay dont work for me.

    God even selling something small on eBay like a toy doesnt work anymore. People bid then dont pay message saying its wrong colour etc 

    Had my time wasted with my cars on there on auction listing or with classified add the phone dont ring.

    Also have you sold your Jag x type? I had one in Sept at 87k miles on 06 sold in a day. Now i got an 08 with 125k with quilted leather fsh and the phone dont ring ?! :huh:

    I much rather invest in commercials they're hassle free.

    This is what i dont get.

    Main dealers get them as part exes from joe public though?

    the trade knows their shagged or we would have sold on or traded

    To sell on DA - you need to be a franchised dealer

    I use Wilson’s but the bids are pitiful in the General section.

    i put mine in Wilsons, here are some example, 2007 Golf GT TDI 147k-£650 2009 207 1.4 Sportium 100k- £375 2004 BMW 330D Coupe 145k- £850, I like to think we have a separate CAP value of CAP piss poor, unless the cars are utter bangers you will blow fortunes, none of the cars above had any visible issues and were bough and retailed on by the local toe rags

    Appreciate the advice about been road legal but now we just advertise all part exchange stock as spares or repairs or export only. In this case the car had 11 months mot and it was priced £1000 under book value with extras including chrome bull bars side steps and even a private number which was worth at least £300

    extras mean nothing or the price

    punters are awful when they thing they may lose money

    My Mrs has her staff Christmas do tonight but no partners are invited (I suppose it would hinder the office snoggings).

    Anyway, I said we are having a Christmas party tonight (my border collie and me) but unfortunately, we are not inviting partners either.  My meal is ordered already (in my head) - the dirtiest and biggest kebab I can find :D

    is there any other kebab?

    Best place , let some private buy it :)

    I had a car like that once , put it to the block and went and hugged it when it was about to go thru :) bid on my own car against a private and took it over CAP Clean by £300 and it was knackered . Lots of fun as I reckon I earned £700 extra . 

    be nice to have a turn for once
