  1. Didn't happen last lock down, prices went and stayed mental.
  2. Prices fall thru the floor, can't see it? I've been/seen many recessions/global panics/Y2K doomsday/Gulf wars etc and one thing that always happens, used stock goes up in value. ...the usual rules of supply and demand will still operate.
  3. and they left for a better job so why try and kick us in the nuts
  4. Really it all boils down to the virus doesn't have any obvious symptoms for many so, many don't take it seriously, it's more an inconvenience to their daily lives. If it simply caused a couple of large pussy warts to appear on the end of ones nose with ZERO other health effects, I would put my pension on the fact that things would so very different. ....social distancing would be taken seriously rather than mingers breathing down my neck at supermarkets et al, no house parties, no public demos, no piss ups at the pubs, the feral mask less would be a rarity, people would actually wash their hands (fuck me a lot don't even after a visit to the bog) etc. And I guess more would sign up to TNT as opposed to a minority that have at the moment.
  5. ...you sold a retail car with 5 months MOT, quality car 'trader' then
  6. Not a surprise is it given the general attitude of Jo Public regarding C19.
  7. To the OP: 1/ New MOT at sale? 2/ PDI done? 3/ What do your invoice terms and conditions state regarding returns/problems/repairs?
  8. Yup, thanks found them cheers
  9. To the OP.....you mean you actually trust the gradings/reports
  10. Can you recommend where to purchase these Irish plates? I believe they are all dateless?
  11. They never have done bar a bucket of water thrown over them and a quick hoover but, I was referring to my PX's
  12. I don't know about the rest of you guys but the state of the current stock is incredible, minging cabins beyond belief on a lot of gear.....one would think with the current health drama they be a little cleaner inside, maybe just me
  13. I had a stay in a hotel in Chatham last Saturday night, not nice......it really did feel like a them and us situation. Those that wore masks and, with that some had some basic manners and, the ferral maskless guests giving one or two fingers to the poor staff trying to do their best. It was even worse in the morning to see them rummaging thru the food at breakfast like an Arab market....was a real shock as most in Noooorfolk seem to have the basic grey matter to wear a mask over their face, not on their neck et al. I think it's just down to respect and manners but I do sympathise with Dave too.
  14. Brilliant Harsh but, there's a lot of truth in that.
  15. No cheaper here, just as high for decent gear.....even scrap is £200 a car up ere
  16. ......I'm probably going to regret asking but, what are Star Drops and will they change my life?
  17. Hi Marc. You quit your job a month ago yet wanted to apply for a BBL, for a business that hasn't actually been up and running effectively to have been affected by C19...? I'm no expert on these things but, I don't think that have flown. I wonder if this is one of the reasons new Business Accounts are tough to start at the moment, would make sense? BBL and business interruption payments would need some sort of vetting I guess? Question.....I wonder what happens to civilian accounts when large sums, from irregular payees keep coming in on a regular basis. Would light bulbs come on somewhere and cause issues somewhere? That said, I wish you the best of luck with your new venture and, it must be said you must possess balls of Kryptonite to start in these uncertain times Always best to have done something than have wondered 'what if' How many sales have you made to date? How are finding stock purchasing? T&Cs all done and dusted? From what I hear from colleagues and read on here, Cardealer 5 and Click dealer are very good.
  18. Wise words, I had a good living out of those Espace.
  19. I tried it once, only the once though ....THE biggest problem wasn't the stock, it was muuuuuuuch easier to buy then but, having to employ someone proper to run the other site, staff being the biggest problem, the memories are still horrific. The logistics made it unworkable on my own but, I never thought for a moment that I woukd operate both sites on my own. 25 mins between both sites.
  20. Easy Start In my experience a BCA Assured Report, assures nothing at all....
