Always keep an eye on whats going on online and been looking out for a C-max for member of the family, unsurprisingly all going way over book, well, the decent stuff is. but while logged in, noticed a 2008 Clubman Cooper, 1 owner, 60k, pepper pack, just serviced and years ticket. Stalled at £2450 against book of £3500. Put in a cheeky £2500 against a "not sold"... wasn't expecting anything of it...... next thing I know I've bought it.... 

So now the worry, yup, its a grade 4 and looks grubby, but straight, no lights.. so why the hell did this go so cheap when everything else is going above book, they are fairly good news normally... I must stop impulse buying. Just got to wait till it turns up smoking and limping into the car park, knocking like a tractor....

Nice 1!!!  Glad to hear some bargains still floating.

Hahaha done the similar thing last week with Bedford.

2009 Mini Cooper S Convertible 82k...  £2750, expecting a rattly pile of BUT I think I must have just caught it as we drove it back (100mile journey) and so far so good.  1 thing is the roof underlining is missing... I mean WTF, who wants that?

No but I could just tell from your story. Those afternoon sales at Bedford are ridiculous sometimes, they give some stuff away.

Best one I can remember was a 1 year old Cyrus White Discovery Sport Auto, went cheap at £22k because it was non-UK but doesn't really matter.

The day after it was up for £30k and sold not long after.

I trawl the buy it now lists and some of my biggest profits come out of these, can spend a bit more time researching the current market prices less up against the clock so to speak.

That profit on the Disco sport would be alright, I would probably take the rest of the day off if I made that  

[Earunder 69]

Was quite a nice surprise as I was | <- that close to giving up on the day.

 

I would have been all over that Disco like a dog on heat on viagra in a doggy day care full of bitches

I always look at the BIN's but they're always done like that because they haven't sold in the hall. Makes me wonder why not and puts me off.

Haha yeah I was the same until I got my first few.  As long as its got a mech and condition report I'm all in.

Just don't be grabbing the 4x4's

[rich89 11]

Does anyone buy on bank holidays? Went on Friday to belle vue and every man and his dog was out.. prices through the roof.

[BHM 994]

Bank hols either go one way or the other. Either the auctioneer will take any bid but most of the time every trader + extra private punters turn out & bid everything up. 

Youre correct, Good Friday was one of the worst days at the block I’ve seen - pure shite making clean money.

[It's me 612]

kept away from everything

been a nice break too so far
