Surely some-one is pulling his leg ?!?!??
Only ever heard of one MK1 Golf going for this sort of money and thats a Campaign with 8K on the clock.

(And if you want it to open in a seperate window - hold down the sift key when you click the link  8O )

Erm, wonder if he wants to buy my car? Must be worth about ?15K.

  And can you ask him about mine while your at it as well tallpete  

Perhaps he thought it was a 2001 Y reg Golf   .

Haven't looked at the bidding history on e-bay before. Interesting that user 'Trilby7' put the last 10 or so bids on it, bidding it up from ?500 to ?1000. Either this was a mate trying to bid the price up (seems rather pointless if no one else is bidding) or Trilby7 really doesn't understand the basics of an auction i.e you only have to bid against others - not yourself    

Cheers

Check out the winners history Feedback profile  :twisted:
 
Trilby was not bidding against himself - that is the number of bids that he placed and only show when some or all of them were outbid i.e. his first bid was valid until that first 10K bid was placed.  You can't bid against yourself on ebay - you can only add to your maximum but each add is registered.  Does seem like a lot of separate bids by trilby though!

Ahhh I see….. sorry not that experienced in E-bay use  ops: . Looks like the winning bidder is a wind-up merchant - why have E-bay not deleted his account? I read about this problem in a newspaper article a couple of months ago. Mentioned that people maliciously messing up other auctions was becoming more of a problem than dodgy and non-existant goods being sold. Shame the car looks good and has just been MOTd.

I'm sure trilby will end up with the car  

I might send him a message about us    

why have E-bay not deleted his account

……just noticed that all his bids were in the last day. Suppose as quickly as E-bay cancels his accounts - he sets up another. Could they not ban his IP address? Suppose if he really wants to mess up auctions he'll find a way round that. Does seem a rather limited source of amusement  :roll:

Sent trilby a message

Or it could be a method used by unscrupulous sellers to ?flush? out the highest bid. If I was trilby I?d stick at the ?500 bid.

…I think he was trying to get to someone elses maximum bid….done it myself chasing something I really wanted, when someone had put in an initially high maximum bid.

Just a very important note about EBAY as this may or may not be the case with this bidder.

Crackers are sending emails out to ebay users that ask you to update your ebay profile, when you click on the link it takes you to a void site which basically collects on the data you input ie: username & password.

This happened to an old lady user a few months ago, where she found that she had sold 4 Harley-Davidsons in one day and been sent the money. Basically her account had been hi-jacked.

Be-warned!!!! Ebay have many sites to look at in regards to this and how to find and report these people. I've had two such emails over the last few years.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

I get 3 or 4 of these mails a week!  :twisted:

Anyone want to buy mine? 79 gti black 4 speed no rust original stereo 66k ?

66 grand sounds lile a lot  :wink: How many miles?

I could send an agent to collect it if you give me ?16,000 and he will give you the balance….NOT

Only kidding

Flippin eck!

That is the one I posted on here last week - I didn't think it would fetch anywhere near that kind of money!!!
