...the 'buyer' is now trotting out the 'my son/daughter/dog bid by accident' excuse...

FFS...am I jinxed or something...??

I give up, I really do. If no-one in the entire country wants a good, honest, reliable, sensible priced DAF...then eff the lot of you, I'm keeping it.

Very cross...going to bed...but at least I still have transport for my dr comp tomo...

T xx
 
..oh dear....

But as you say, you have transport for tomorrow, enjoy it while you can, and when it rains at your show, you are safe in the knowledge you can sit in comfort in the dry and be Master of all you survey.....

:D
 
Oh no, I wish I had the cash ATM to buy it as I am fed of of relying on te OH driving the trailer on the back of his 4w drive. Funny he won't let me drive his 4wd when he has had 4 accidents and in my 19 years of driving have had non :)
 
Hi

Sorry to hear this - I had a peak on ebay earlier and noticed it had sold. I wouldnt trust any "buyers" who have not viewed.

Anyway as Perfect11's said on your last thread - keep the lorry, keep the lorry:)! If you only get £7k for it its probably worth more to you - a new ifor 511 is nearly £5k by the time to get something to tow you are better with the lorry!

Maybe its fate!

Good luck whatever you decide to do. Chin up:cool:
 
If it was on ebay (sorry, haven't seen other posts) you can offer it to the next bidder as a second chance offer once you have done the whole non-paying bidder thing. I hope you sell it soon :)
 
Why not stick it on auto trader or in your local ad mag or Equestrian magazine? I only got timewasters trying to sell a car on ebay..
 
My god, what is wrong with these people :mad::mad::mad:
As said earlier, I would keep it if you can, at least for this year and if you decide you still want to sell, then try again next Spring.
£7k will buy you nothing, I looked for months up to nearly double that and I was shocked at what people wanted for their wagons. IMO your wagon is worth more than that.

I advertised mine in October last year, silly time I know but it had just got 12 mths plate on it and I got hardly any response at all. I then tried again in April ish and at first it was slow so I reduced it £2k and I had call after call and it sold to the 2nd viewer. Mine had no luton either, the paint job was nothing like yours, it had a decent day living, great horse area but what sold it I think was the payload. I advertised it as 'carry 3 legally' on Horsemart.

Its worth more than that, dont give it away if you can afford to keep it a bit longer.

Good Luck.
 
Absolutely sick of the whole thing, TBH. It has plate til end of May 2012, so I thought it would be a good idea to sell it while it had a long MOT.

I think that I am stuck with it, but it now means that I have no car (& we are right in the country), no transport for the dogs & no big vehicle for o/h's plastering business.

Hey ho, I am going to forget the whole thing for now as it was obv not meant to be.
 
If I didn't have a miserable hubby that won't let me have a lorry I would snap it out of your hands!!
Tbh though I would be very reluctant of buying one off eBay - can you not advertise it elsewhere? I usually look (while dreaming) on tack shop/showground notice boards. Or find your local pc & nip up with an advert - there's always pony clubbers looking for lorries! Good luck anyway xx
 
We sold a sports car to someone on Ebay and it was a scam fortunately we did pick up on it and ebay sorted it out.

But nutters and time wasters are a pain we ended up selling to someone locally from a sign stuck on it.

If you are out and about stick a big for sale sign on it (at least people can see it works well etc)

But good luck...hope you sell soon.
 
I've just sold a motorbike using ebay classifieds -£14.99 for a month's listing and set a price or you can allow offers. It gets mega coverage if you get your search words right.

The bike I sold was in top condition and we asked top price - & got it within a week.

This way you deal direct and are not at the mercy of numpty bidders.

If you have had a dud bidder please report them to eBay and check their history. I had a bidder on one of my auctions retract their bid -looking at "previous" she had had 16 retractions in the past month. Ebay can't tell you what action they take but that account was suspended for a time.
 
I'd be putting it on all the free ad places for now, costs nothing to keep them there till sold.

I've been looking at prices of wagons and I have looked on British Dressage classifieds (free to advertise), huish and preloved. I probably would keep away from the ebay sales if was going to buy one from an advert. Good luck on selling eventually :)
