It did the trick, the punter had been keeping an eye on it and it seems the reduction was enough to push him in to it. I gave him £300 under book for his swapper though so will claw a little back that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted August 13, 2018 People love an update, I finally sold the wretched Clio at the weekend. 145 days. Never again. It put my average days to turn up from 27 days to 30, the bastard. Glad to see the back of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autolink100 34 Posted August 13, 2018 Glad you got it sold, well done. One thing that I noticed when I clicked on the Clio was that although the pictures were excellent but they looked like they were taken in winter with no leaves on the trees. Just gives the punters a clue you have had it a while. I always wind up having to re photograph a shed load of cars every May Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted August 13, 2018 The amusing thing is I clipped the price again by £500 to £3995. Too cheap but there’s a lot more I can do with four grand than watch it slowly rot into the ground. The call came via AT (as usual) 2 hours later. I noted that my feed from my website wouldn’t have had time to update the AT site. So I bumped the price back up to £4490 on my website, they paid up, non the wiser. Small victories etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way and I have often wondered - if I adjust the price on my web (CD5), does that automatically change the price on AT during the next feed? I have been doing it manually until now.

Another long winded story from long ago.I had sold something called a Austin 1800 to an elderly couple.A few days later they ring and describe their terrible mistake and don’t know what to do.They had parked it somehow in their garage but were unable to get it out as their rear lane was too narrow......So I tell them,don’t worry forget that car and come over,I would do them a smaller car at no extra cost and we will be able to manoeuvre theirs out of the garage using trolley jacks.They arrive and it’s a big pitch and I am walking up and down with them looking at the stock.They spot a Austin 1300 they liked but I had to bullshit them off it because that would mean money back for them.I then passed a message to tell someone to go to the opposite end of the pitch where there was another older Austin 1300 and to change the price stickers and increase it by a third.So I then tell them of a far better Austin 1300 which I had forgotten about and that they could have it now for no extra cost.That is what happened except when we went over for their Austin 1800,we quite easily got it out of their garage.....The punters were so gratefull for helping them out !
