Badwolf Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 99p starting bid and reserve not met at £3,300. Start it at at the minimum you want and stop wasting everyone's time!!! Hate reserve price listings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Just out of devilment, I messaged the vendor to try to find the reserve price, the answer, £10,000. Make your own decisions there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 If we all go in and save it as a watch item, he will be really pleased, but that's a bit cruel, even for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Starts at 99p and expects £10,000? Wonder if he takes bitcoins? It's only 9 miles away from me but I've never heard of it nor any private museum in that area, so wonder where it's been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, where else can you buy a 5000mile car for 10K these days? Buy it, use it every day. That would upset a lot of people who would objet to it getting used, (tough luck, they should buy it) but it would last as long as we can sensibly buy petrol....  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I think that the only private Triumph car museum that I can think of is in a place called...er...Scarva. Is there something that you want to tell us Colin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Probably needs a bit of re commissioning to make it reliable, though piece of mind regarding the usual bodgery you often get and a great place to start. Good panel gaps. I've seen a few of these low mileage, original cars with good fitting panels. Annoys me when the casual media and public with no knowledge, often say they were made with poor fitting panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Look at the jump in bids - recon it was bought by seller!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 But would be still not have to pay fleabay, based on the selling price? Although it strikes me as unusual that it sold for exactly the reserve price. Strikes me that someone else asked what the reserve price was.

No, if the buyer put in 12K, it would automatically raise the bit to the 10K reserve. But 10K is a nice round figure, so I can see somebody making that exact bid.

Fleabay now charges something like 12%, so that's a severe chunk out of the sale price. Listed non-auction ads are different, but as this was an auction that's the charge.

Classifieds are flat rate £20, which is good value, and I like the clarity of what a seller is after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't sold a car in a age, last time they took over £200 off me but that was almost ten years ago so maybe they've changed the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sold a couple of cars in the past few years (both my Dads) and always used the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
