General white '91 4x4

[seanx]

Here's a 4x4 that reads OK for once! Bit steep on the price though...

Yes I've got this one in my watch list. It does seem to be a fair and honest description, but would have liked more pictures that show all around the car.

Price looks about right to me, in fact i wouldn't be surprised if it reached £2k.

It sold before in the summer for £1600 but didn't make the reserve.

Aha! One day a fine Auction Watch Jedi will you make, young Pandawan...!

I knew I'd seen it before, somewhere...! :bang:

Or you could buy mine £950

Oops, was it one of those Ebay buys? (The Blue F-reg?)

Heh, done it myself in the past - probably do it again in the future too...!
So, £950 fully sorted with MOT and rear seats etc - or on a trailer?

 

[seanx]

Unsold. Ahhh, if only it were a lot closer, I might then go for a look and put in a more realistic offer.

£1500 is a good price for a tidy looking, original 4x4 that has obviously been looked after is you ask me, it is certainly a better buy than an unMOT'd one for £6-700. I was very surprised it had no bids, it even had a decent description which seems a rarity now.

I think the high starting price scared people off - if I have learnt anything from e-bay it is that people are looking for a "bargain", often a low start will end with a better final price than one anticipates.

Perhaps it would sell with a lower starting price and a sensible reserve - however we need some properly inclement weather to kick up a 4x4 frenzy.

Now is the time to contact the seller and make an offer of £1,200..

Back on again - for auction this time. 1 bid so far £850....

When first relisted it had a buy it now of £1250. This will have dropped off when the bid was placed but I expect the seller would be willing to talk to anyone who proved they were serious.

In that case, someone's going to regret not using the BIN option as it's already at £960 with 5 days to go...............

“Very good condition Fiat 4X4 1991”

...and the first photo' shows a rusty bonnet.

I know this is about individual perspective but "Very good condition"?

Really?

Maybe that's why the car has been relisted four times now.

Plus the fact that the seller is no doubt bidding it up with another account until the price is right...

Interesting....having looked can you explain how this is.

 

[AndyPanda4x4]

I am only saying as it seems that way to me, it's a known trait among ebayers that don't want an item to sell for anything less than they want, yet saves money on a reserve or buy it now price. If the item is then bought by the second account or friend the transaction can be cancelled and listing/purchase fees refunded. It may not be the case at all but it just looks that way to me as it's a tidy car and I wouldn't want it going cheap.

Shill bidding I understand...I was wondering if there was a way you knew f to prove it. I think your right about what is going on and about what it's worth.....£1200 would be a good price to get it for..
