metcars

Another great story that further backs up my opinion on using a bargepole where F&F deals are concerned?

Adequate and appropriate for a Gentleman?

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Fewer staff having to work harder and under pressure. But, I don't think it will be long before auctions become online only. Physical auctions are becoming less attractive to auction houses for 'many' reasons.

Funny really, you'd think they'd be 'deducting' the online buying fee from the purchase price to encourage you to buy online.

I'm surprised cars this good didn't end up on DA?

Over the years i've made a point of making friends with a few drivers at a couple of my regular auctions. It pays off. But many drivers are agency and are not necessarily qualified to comment on what is a good or bad 'clutch'. good luck

Plenty of 'characters' up north too, don't stick it on us southerners! Lol

Good news, It's all better now apparently. So fill your boots!

As happy as i am for the OP i still think this is all down to the rarest of things, a sympathetic court for a motor trader?

I was having loads of agro with their simulcast last night too

Interesting subject. I would imagine you could actually calculate the odds of being able to purchase a car from auction with no 'issues' that then sells immediately. The dilemma would be would you buy the car with long odds or short?

'Free market' means just that?

Selling is a big chunk of the job?

AT benefit from a 'free market economy' as we all do? Why punish them for making a profit, they are just a business not moral arbiters?

Forgetting cars for a moment. Are you a salesman Lucas? Can you 'read' people? Can you think on your feet? It's either in you or its not. And If it doesn't come naturally, you'll find this job hard work very quickly. This topic reminds me of a conversation i had with someone about Trump. And how he is a brilliant and successful businessman? But when you are born into a wealthy family surrounded by expert advisors to evaluate every prospective deal how can you lose?

You'll get thrown out of the forum for 'union talk'

Not the porn shoot ones

I think the magazine is missing a huge opportunity. You know the sort of thing, sign up for 12 monthly instalments, workshop with guest speakers, reduced lawgistics pack. A sort of trade along with CDM? Why not, every man and his dog is doing it on youtube these days?

Sounds like Union talk to me!

Don't they do something like that to mount big speakers in? Cost about £200 What I usually find is 'everything' missing. So, you can't just stick a Halfords scissor jack in there and call it job done.

I agree, a regular thing now. I wish i could find 'boot kits' for £1?

It's amazing how many people have no idea what a supply chain is?

So lets stop going over the past. It is what it is. The die is cast. From now on lets start being positive and posting only 'good' news about brexit. Or at least when it happens, and then we'll need another 6-9 months after that for these new business opportunities to flourish. No more negativity!

Trump knows how to work the media!
