It will be interesting to see what the car goes for.

Hum, just read the ad again 116,000 miles plus. Still a nice car though.

I think that the point should not be "don''t buy it", but more "buy it if you want, but be aware of the details, and make sure that you pay a fair price"  

Yep guess you're right - every car has a price

thats strange!!!!!!!!!!!

no reserve but the minimum you can bid is ?1500!!!!!!!!!!!!

hhhhmmmmmmmmmnnnnnn

sounds like a reserve to me!!!!!!!

Thanks for the link, guess I've been to busy to read all the threads :roll:

I think the car has no reserve on it, so it should be sold.

You can list without a reserve but pick your starting bid, just like having a reserve really.

He should start the auction at 99p and see where it gets up to

A common phenomenon on eBay - on the good side for the seller, no reserve means cheaper listing costs, but a high opening bid discourages people from making a bid.

Putting a low opening bid (eg: 99p) attracts bidders, but you need to protect yourself with a (costly) reserve otherwise, with only one bid, you could end up selling a car for 99p  8O
