I've came across them before and was always unsure how they get away with it, eBay's a publicly accessible forum and they're clearly selling everything under trade conditions with no comebacks.

Hi all, im about to put this up for sale so who's up for some light hearted fun? The ad will state *no last price* *no best price* *no calls after 5pm*, how long until one if not all three of these statements are ignored? This is going to be a World of pain, note to self "what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger"

Is it sold yet Andy?

I have bought from them before, most of the stuff is high mileage, ropey stuff. Some stuff is alright. 

They let you check it over after you win the auction and take a test drive too. No obligation to buy either. They do sell a lot though!

They have been around for over 10 years under different names, they source purely from BCA.

I think everything is sold on a scrap invoice now.

Old name was Sterling Cars, Reading.

You can't advertise as offering a test drive & then stating it's spares/repairs/scrap etc. I thought I occasionally employed the odd sharp practice but I obviously have much to learn.

I suppose it's "Fuck Trading Standards", let's get on with it.

Yeah thats a chap called Jason up at blackbushe usually buys leggy high spec stuff  well known to the auctioneers.

To be honest, I don't think eBay give two Flying fucks, as long as your paying them a healthy a balance each month ✌

Your really asking for trouble, just don't look at your phone when you've had a few.

I put a Triumph Stag on ebay last week, spares or repair, it's fecked. A brutally honest description which included the lines non runner, no keys and no docs as well as please don't contact be email as by not answering I may offend. You've guessed it, I received emails along the line of 'I know your not answering emails, but....', and the winning bidder is now wondering how he is going to move it without any keys and can i get some cut.  Hmmmmmm, let me think about that....

[BHM 994]

Hahaha, they're absolute beauties aren't they?

[andymc1973 199]

wish I could write this about some of the retail stuff I have in right now haha

[BHM 994]

"Do you think it'll test mate?"

"I'm from a disabled family, I need something reliable that won't break down. Can tell me honestly what the car's like and can you assure me this is absolutely fine?"

"Will you deliver it so I can have a look & if I like it we'll possibly do a deal"

"I've 2 phones, a Sony XYZ & a Samsung 123, they're both worth more than your car so you can make some money from them, swop m8"

"Best price, m8"

"Can I bring my mechanic" (What!?!! These fuckers are looking at bangers but can afford to retain a mechanic!)

"How much tax is on it?"

[SC Derby 259]

He must get around, there's a few from Enfield branch on there.

I always thought it inappropriate to take photos of stock while the cars are still on the auction site with the screen 'top', but there you go

I used to think he took pictures before stuff went through the sale (Like a few days before), fired it up on ebay for a few days and then completed on those cars that showed the most promise online (by way of good bidding).

To have 100 cars at a time which he sometimes has up would mean someone has some serious bank rolling or they have worked out a system that allows for them to 'pre-sell' and only buy what they know is pretty much sold already.

Or I'm wide of the mark and just dreaming such a system was possible!

They used to cover Walsall / Measham / Nottingham but tend to stay South now.

I knew an independant buyer who was instructed to buy anything 'cheap' for them.

They must make a fortune.

Good luck to them, just out of interest, this wouldn't be an 'Asian' setup would it?
