sparky 274 Posted April 22, 2016 Don't really like these threads as I think there a bit of a ******* competition but what I will say is yesterday was good, which makes the month of April good, following on from a good March and Feb. Now then, that's nothing to shout about apart from the fact it's been done without AT since Jan. It takes a leap of faith and sometimes I feel like Phil Mitchell drinking OJ in the Queen Vic but so far so good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted April 22, 2016 Ebay has been exceptional for us last 2 months as well, definite increase in enquiries and sales and I've been on there for 6 years. Ticking over this month, 19 I think so far, just wish we could get that consistency back where we don't have consecutive blank days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Another 1 today, Facebook lead from a £5 advert I put on Wednesday, car only came in yesterday. Yesterday's sale was an autotrader enquiry via email, and tomorrow I have an appointment at 11am from an eBay enquiry, so could complete the set advertising portal wise! If only they were all equal value!! Edited April 22, 2016 by SC Derby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rory RSC 596 Posted April 22, 2016 Advertised a very nice £18,500 edition 35 yesterday evening. Deposit over the phone at 8am and driven away by about 3pm today. That does not happen very often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justina3 518 Posted April 26, 2016 I have written this month off now as a disaster, roll on may Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike-Ktl 2 Posted April 26, 2016 Very Quiet for me aswell, only got 4 up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justina3 518 Posted April 26, 2016 I dont think numbers are that important here as each dealer is very different in size, so a 4 might be good for some dealer where as 4 would be hang yourself time for another. the general theme however does appear it is a bit of a rocky month, roll on May Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umesh 336 Posted April 26, 2016 Its all about the RIGHT Numbers .. as the old saying goes .. "turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is a reality" in reality no point in volumes if the profits aren't there! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitestone679231 113 Posted April 26, 2016 Well said Umesh, anyone can be a busy fool. We are having a quiet month but at least we don't have the £5000 AT bill to pay, or is it because we don't have the £5000 AT bill to pay that we are quiet?? crystal balls anyone!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDB 31 Posted April 26, 2016 We dropped our stock on AT to 7 in March....sold a fair few units......upped the stock to 40 in April sold over 30......even though it pains me to admit AT does work for us and has done for over 27 years.Started advertising on GT last week,sold one within 12 hours so they all work in there own way....This month GT (1) Ebay (9) AT (22).

As I've said numerous times If it works and it ROI Then you have to pay the AT bills and keep selling , when it doesn't work and you're simply 'on there' because you think you're missing out - time to pull the plug. !
