My mums 325i Sport MTECH 23K miles BAD ADVICE

[graphixbylou]

Hi, I was advised badly to have high reserve on this car listed on ebay. I have now dropped reserve to £9102 which is a pound higher than current bid, I could not remove it or I would have!! Cheers

[ross_jsy]

Pardon?

[BIGJO]

LoL!

It is easy to remove / end a listing, just go to the help section at the top right and enter 'end listing'
Make sure to tick the box that cancels all bids and job jobbed. If the car is as described with no issues I do believe it is worth more than 9k but definately not the 20k that you allegedly had as your reserve !

You really need to try harder re the ad, more detail, better pics, under bonnet shots etc.

In your position , I would speak to WLN or Old colonel cars re sale or return as they being recognised and well regarded specialists will be able to get a far better price than you.

or you could quit yer wingein n get on with it, car like that aint hard to sell.

Not for me to judge, but I wouldn't be too happy with the bidding pattern on your auction. If there are any irreglarities that you know of, I'd cancel all the bids and close the auction if I were you, and advertise it as a classified ad on Ebay and elsewhere.

You mean you wanted to remove the reserve price or the listing itself?

[bmwsport]

I think keep it on auction, still plenty of time left and you've reached a healthy 9k+ which ain't bad at all if you want shut of it (plus it's over your revised reserve anyway) and it appears your not really an enthusiast anyway. If i was you i'd be buying it off your mum!

I think people will go mental in the final minutes, it's one of those 'once in a life-time moments' and i predict people will go ape sh1t


Relisting stuff on ebay is a bad idea as i've noticed people actually loose interest in things as they think the item is either going to be removed again, something is not legit or it appears a friend is bidding stuff up etc... people get bored and find other things...

Shill, you never know it could sell.

[DanThe]

If it really is mint id say you will get more than 9k if you use WLN or the likes

Theres a good chance most people bidding are trader types anyway

A car like that should sell its self with good photo's of absolutly everthing. So stop you moaning and do a proper advert for such a good car.

Sorry but how is he moaning?!

All hes done is inform us that he tried to cancel the auction but couldn't.

By the title of this and the first few lines sounds to me like moaning. He is not trying to cancel the auction he is trying to cancel the reserve price

[bss325i]

Whatever he is trying do hardly constitutes to moaning, shit you wanna hear my mrs when she's found out how much i just spent on the E30.

Now thats moaning!

Next time someone asks me how much a part is, ill tell them to phone their nearest dealer.

[Rav335uk]

Get them to text you next time Baz, it's quieter

[Ollie_bwoii]

Your married to you dog?!

The affection he shows scrumps sure makes it look that way.

Although do people leave their missus tied too doors?

[Andyboy]

Get a mate to put a 10 grand bid on, but don't forget the absolute raping Ebay will give you on final value fees - it's 10% isn't it?

That's a BIG cheque you need to write out.

I would give it to WLN or Old Colonel to sell. They'd want a couple of grand comission for the aggro and would put it up for around £12'000.

White with blue cloth isn't that bad - you wouldn't have ordered it new, but it's very unusual. I've never seen another white sport with blue cloth so it could well be unique.

[airborne_7]

if that e30 with 23k is going so well 9k plus how much would i expect to get for my e30 exactly the same as his on ebay but 56k, not that id sell anyway but its nice to know ?

Another white 325i Sport with blue cloth?

[Alex]

Should i be shot for liking the blue and white combo

[burtcocain]

My mrs HATES my e30......and wont let me spend a penny on it......so i buy things without her knowing!!!!!!

[airborne_7]

no black leather interior

[bss325i]

Not exactly them same then is it?

[B7]

To the OP.

To end the auction go into my ebay against the listing. On the right theres a drop down menu and in there it should give you the option of ending aution.
