MyVan MyPickUp Myss180 on ebay .... nothing sold !!
Turbo Mini Forums

Interesting ... I put this lot on ebay ... and sold nowt ... ( i did cancel the auctions with 1 hour to go though )
WOnder if it was my knob like descriptions ... or has the bottom dropped out of the market .. or was I asking to much .,

Seriously though it does seem that minis do not be going for very much at the moment .... roll on summer I say !!

I saw all your stuff on the bay, very suprised nothing sold. Especially the van, thats very nice!

Thought your discriptions were to the point.

I liked what you did with the scores out of 10 thought that was quite usefull.

Gaz.

perhaps people that your account had been hacked by a scammer as the 3 items are quite a lot of moneys worth
with all the account hacking etc going on on ebay nowadays
but you have 3 cool toys thats for sure

ofcourse I could be wrong maybe try relisting one at a time and see how it go's
but then again ebay seems to have gone mad with new ebayers bidding hilairious bids on everything aswell lately so maybe people are getting fed up with ebay

It is a bit odd ...
I blanked the # plates as I dont trust people .. I had well over 2000 views on the pickup ; how many of those people were untrustworthy; and how many of those people has access to look up address from # plates ..... mebe I am just to paranoid but from where I come from a pickup would not be around for long unless it was chained to ground

I still have two othe minis ( one being the turbo ) so its not all bad

Oh well ; I may well relist them and see what happens ...

Also I really dont want to sell a car through ebay without the person viewing it first .....

Oh well back to some programming .... yawn .. there must be more to life than work

if you dont trust anyone... no one will trust you.

hiding the plates makes people shy away imo.

I'd have bought that pickup if i had the cash. I love it!

y i love that pickup :)

how many people were watching the auction? Like mini1071 i never bid til the last few minutes too.

agree with mini1071 theyd have rocketed in the last 2 mins id put money on it

also your starting bids high and youve put a reserve on so people might think you want mega money for them just a thought.

buy the way there 2 cool minis and im very surprised they didnt even have any bids

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I dont bid untill near the end normaly and I was waching the pickup you never know what I would have bid.

I bid early for a gearbox recently as I knew the reserve was more than I bid in the hope I would be able to get a bargain I got it but the owner hasnt given me any feed back what would you lot do?
It was a lot of money
Do any of you lads know someone caled Iain?

I have to be honest, i have seen mnuch much more appealing photos of you van and your pickup, im wondering if its because the images on ebay look too small. Honestly them phgotos you put in show it yours a while ago looked amazing and stunning, the ones on ebay look a bit kind of un-interesting. When i click supersize them they stretch vertically and skew up. Might just be my browser tho

personally i wouldnt mention the filler in the roof or the fact your friend rebuilt the engine may put people off.

put more resent pics up the ice will defo put people off to.

but i dont know much ive never sold a car and got what i wanted for it. lol

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

ok, seen as tho someone else has started to coment, I was gonna mention this bit on the pickup one...

Also a standard set of HT Leads have been fitted Engine / Wheels / Alarm alone cost me £1000 hence the nice start price !

That would put me off, it always worries me when someone says "new HT leads" makes me wonder if theyre selling it after just having starting trouble or something. I dont understand the whole sentance tho, i dont think you need to put hence the nice starting price.

If your going to relist them, how about putting a description here first and we will all rip it to bits?
