And it did happen to me with an S1 a couple of years ago involving Will B. I related the story on here then and yesterday. None of you outraged people were outraged then

 

I only read your story today and it doesn't change my view.  It is ourageous that it happened to you but that doesn't mean that you should perpetuate and encourage the practice.  Selling on ebay is always going to be a risk so if you need to attain a certain price on an item'to pay the bills' then list it as a 'buy-it-now' or advertise elswhere (on here for example?) at a set price you want to achieve.  And honour the deal.

I, as the culprit, have to admit I know what you are saying, but it is the thing about eBay's jungle rules : some buyers never show up, some sound dodgy, some don't go to inspect the vehicle and rush-bid in the last ten seconds (like this once)... At the end of the day, the buyer decides, it is not an official, hammer-down auction ( where bid-rushing isn't a thing) so one remains free to do whatever they wish with what they are selling.

 

I do agree that it is not the best practice to spread around, but if we look at the lack of gentleman-ry on eBay... I think this was relatively harmless ?

 

Also I am very happy to get LY36. Expect crazy tinkering in the months to come.

Not being religious I don't really care.  But I have a strong set of morals and decency in dealing with people, even those I don't know.

Nice little turn on a well known car. I'm sure it will be back up for sale in a week or two for more profit.

Sold! And you will not see it for sale soon I think

Guaranteed sale when the deposit is paid. Isn't that how it normally works? All ebay is is a portal for making offers just as if someone is standing in front of you. The deal wouldn't be tied up until that person pays a deposit, higher offers would still be welcome, no different selling cars on ebay. And he might have made a few quid on it? I do know he's spent money rectifying a few things on it but if he has made a few quid on it then good luck to him. Who says the rule is that you've always got to lose money on cars. I bet he's lost a few quid on cars, this time he's made a few. Well done.

Pass me the Fecking Violin 😂😂😂😂 You got fcuked over so that makes it fine to encourage others to do the same ? If I was the sale winner I'd get my mate in England to torch the Fecking thing 👍😂😂😂

[fiveoclock]

I didnt say that did I. Why dont you read what I fcuking said instead of making up your own story. Where did I say do it to them because someone did it to me? You could torch it yourself, you cocks are good at that sort of thing you fuckwit. And I didnt "encourage" him, I said do it
