Thats the difference between me and other sellers, I have always when selling car parts on E-Bay had a fair fixed price. First person that wants it gets it and the buyer and seller are both happy. The person that started off at 99p was banking on the bid price going up and up make no mistake!! Fear of not winning the bid gets people spending way more than they intended to. I wonder if they would have been snapped up quickly if the price had been a fixed price at £560?

I agree with martin the seller can't be seen as greedy if some clowns decide to bump an auction up on their own.

That is my point on this, put them on at a fair fixed priced and first come first served.The seller knew full well that peoples fear of missing out on getting them makes people keep bidding higher and higher and spending more than they ever intended.

Now that would p1ss me right off. I have sold plenty of times on fleabay and I don't always know how much to ask so start low and let the market decide. Yes it is a risk but usually it's stuff I can afford to lose on or win on, part of the fun of it personally.

Not necessarily I won a 4x4 saph front prop once for 99p with a tenner postage, the seller left me feedback saying "you got lucky cheers" at the end of the day he should have put a reserve on it but fair play for playing the game fairly and the prop arrived in the post a few days later

Parts prices for Imprezas will rise just the same.

I think your right Glenn I’ve seen it somewhere also.
I’ve got a brand new in the box sunroof, I will keep it for 10 more years because it will probably be worth 2,000,000 by then!

The old man worked at the Dagenham plant most of his life so I was able to get at least 35% off parts, we both wish we had filled a couple of containers with Cosworth parts 20 years ago, “could of been sitting on me yacht in the south of France by now”

I had a laugh the other day as I came across a couple of pairs of side skirts, both were around £200 with one pair looking as bent as Louie Spence.
the last pair I sold were decent, straight, primed ready for paint and I threw in a set of my jacking point covers, iirc they went for £35
