Perhaps you could treat yourself to some clothes, so you don't have to sit around in your pants.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted November 2, 2016 I've been away for a few days for my birthday. By all accounts we are dead at the moment and it's been painfully quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grant8064 219 Posted November 2, 2016 After two dead as weeks we finally broke our duck today...at long last! C Max gone today with plenty in it. 11 plate Polo and a Volvo auto diesel estate prepped for deals tomorrow. Won seven cars in the block today too which is our best buying day ever...think all our neighbouring sites have been as quiet as us the last couple of weeks which made the auction much much quieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.J 35 Posted November 2, 2016 Its so tempting to just slash the prices of all the stock when its quiet just to get things moving! What do you do with your pricing when its quiet, stick or twist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I've reduced some prices, and it's had no effect, you're still waiting for that right person to buy it. The amount of times I've considered reducing the price of a particular car, held off, then gone and sold it for the full asking price. Sometimes you just have to hold your nerve, not easy though....

M.J 35 Posted November 3, 2016 I have actually reduced pretty much everything for the last 7 days or so, hasn't made a difference, in fact the one vehicle i held at the full price sold yesterday So all the prices have gone back up again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you do with your pricing when its quiet, stick or twist? We had a quiet October and have some fairly boring stock in at the moment so have gone down the "£500 minimum part exchange" offer route to drum up a bit of interest. Seems to be working well so far!

SC Derby 259 Posted November 3, 2016 I tweaked a few late September. I think it made a difference as some of the older stuff started to shift. But I also carried on bringing in new stock with the usual type margin and thats also been shifting. I have definitely been a bit more picky with the buying though and thats helped.

Ocsltd 133 Posted November 4, 2016 Just done a deal on a Civic Type R EP3. Then saw my VAT liability, which completely dampened my spirits..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daylight 28 Posted November 4, 2016 1 went on the 1st (love a first day deal), 2 more propped and accepted today on sub-prime. Poor commission but the sale is worth more, hopeful they go through ok as both customers are miles away & haven't seen the cars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
