Recommended Posts

First visit to the block in 2019, manage to buy 5 from BCA today, thought prices weren't as bad as previous Januarys, prices just as they were in late 2018, how have you guys found it??

Few cheap cars at Derby today. Prices were decent to be fair, not much hitting Cap clean.

Put an average  proxy bid on one there today which I thought I'd be £400 out on. Was pleasantly surprised when the invoice came through.

So many end users. I saw so many end users in the BCA Blackbushe when I walk through the parking log to check the cars before it goes on the hall.  Some families, mom with baby, couples, and father with son. I feel I am in the supermarket.

I'm not concerned about privates buying at auction. I think their impact on prices is exaggerated. And they've probably watched too many daytime tv programmes about auctions. 

The real threat is from 'proper' buyers who decide to start buying in my price range, especially guys who think they need to buy cheaper than their usual stock. Which probably explains the small 5-8k site near my dads place with an 02 focus (nice enough) up for £1500!

Maybe they could underwrite some cheap shit for me!
