ik1980 11 Posted October 7, 2017 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

BHM 994 Posted October 7, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
