What happens at the end of the auction if the auction lot sells?


When an auction lot sells successfully on the platform, a 6% premium (as detailed in our fees section below) is automatically deducted from the winning bidder’s credit card. This is a fee for using the platform and not a down payment on the auction lot. The seller and buyer are then digitally ‘introduced’ to complete the transaction.
It's a pretty expensive thing to do for fun if you're not going to buy the car! :lol:

GLWS! Hopefully you get close to asking, it's definitely worth that.

Viewing guy came for two and a half hours....Took the bastard wheels off to show him suspension pickup points...Showed everything else...Left saying he'd think about it.

Phoned back - "I'm going to leave it mate. Theres a couple of microblisters on the rear thats put me off." :evil:

Phoned the other guy who was interested. He's buying it with his nephew. So he's going to speak with his nephew and get back to me.

That sounds like “there’s nothing I can argue the price down for and can’t afford what you’re asking”

I'd have laughed at him if he'd asked me to take the wheels off. Get your mirror and torch out or fork out for a proper inspection.

But yes, timewasters deserve a kick in the wotsits. My old supercharged mx5 was an utter pain to sell due to them.

Indeed. It's not like he's buying a million pound, sub - 1k miles supercar garage queen, or a 1 year old Merc. He's buying a well used 20 year old low volume British sports car that's been well looked after.

Absolute time wasting moron.

What a cunt, you're too nice for taking the wheels off for him, I'd having given him a wrench and jack and told him to help himself.
That's the type of cunt that even if he did buy the car he'd send you emails/texts every week about new problems he's found thinking he's bought it from a main dealer...
How about not having a sig at all?

They'd probably end up damaging the wheels, the jacking points, or both.

You wanna look under car? Cool - pay a garage or specialist to inspect it and I'll take the car there. Otherwise, off you fuck.
