Default What is it with E/bay idiots

Is it just me or are you sick of seeing the same cars for sale on there week after week after week

They get no interest because they want stupid money for them and the just keep putting them back on over and over again .

I know some may say , well they might get a new person looking ,, but they dont as we all know that people who look on e/bay for cars look every few days anyway so see the same over priced scrap on there every time

Ebay is full of planks. My mate has just sold some holiday vouchers, £590 for £650 worth. The bloke that won is now asking if he can pay by installments

Problem is some people just will not admit their cars aint worth what they think.. everyone seems to want a million pounds for their car- when if they just lowered the price a bit they'd sell them- quite funny at a time when there isn't a massive amount selling and people becoming even more wary of the tired old sheds.

In my book selling a car quicker for 500-1000 pounds less than you initially wanted is much better than keeping onto it for 6month- unless you're a trader in which case that not the case- but your average everyday joe i would say it was.

oi!
i paid £2400 for that car 9 years ago (and have spent too much on it since )

i've bought a granada with a weaping head gasket for £22
a sierra for free
Cossiecrews granada for £300
another estate for £150
another estate for free
another 4x4 for £80
the list goes on and on mate
why buy an expensive car if you can buy a banger that you can throw away for peanuts when it goes wrong?

that way you have one main car to spend money on and a series of snotters you don't care where you park

besides, 've also got access to a whole fleet of vans so i don't mind not having a car
