People never learn do they!
i had an F28 6 speed gearbox for sale on ebay, and this dude offered me £150 to end the aution lol (read from bottom up)
The auction was stopped by myself because i had an offer of £280 from someone who knew how rare the F28 is. He snapped it up within 5 minutes of me giving him the price.
Sorry

Hi mate, I noticed that your auction never made the reserve, would you now take £150?

Sorry mate, £150 is way below what these fetch. You'd be hard pressed to find a good working F28 for less than £250. I sell C20LET bits all day long, and have never failed to get less than £280 for F28's
Kind regards,
Spence

Like if you were selling your car for £5k and i offered £1k you say 'no', and i persist in offering you £1k
It gets a little irritating when you have to deal with the same old day in day out

I used to get this all the time especially on www.migweb.co.uk (those guys have no money and no idea!)....drives you up the wall...I ended up skipping a load of C20XE, C18XE, X25 bits because I'd rather bin them that take stupid offers and get insulted. I even had one guy from Scotland wanting a used cambelt for £1.00!!!!!!!
