AJI Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 How does e-bay work?? I mean people bid on something that they haven't even been to see in the flesh, the seller always puts thier own minimum price for a vehicle up as the 'reserve' so that means everyone that bids is paying 'over price' for the item? As you can tell I'm not an 'ebay'er', just never understood how it all works. I know that lots of people say you can pick up 'bargains' on ebay but the seller never puts anything up for auction that is under their asking price now do they? Sprry to hijack this thread.... its not intended to be any sort of dig at the car that is being sold, I'm turely curious as to how ebay works and why so many people use it. (I'm probably well out of date by not using it myself but I've never trusted it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I notice that UKs as often advertised as having "larger steel turbos". I was under the impression that the J-specs actually had larger compressor wheels than the ones on the UK models. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm probably well out of date by not using it myself but I've never trusted it). I`ve bought 4 cars off EBay now. Although i know people that buy blind, i always go and look to see what i`m bidding on as many people tell some little white lies. I bought a GTti from Southampton off EBay. The lad knew what it was and that it was worth a fair whack. But i knew i was still getting it cheap and made a quick £1800 on that. Its a good place to find things that you would not normally be able to get hold off. I collect Daihatsu brochures and through EBay have bought them from Finland, Oz, US, Japan, Europe. I picked up a UK Supra brochure the other day. You have to be careful but i love some of the rare items i`ve been able to pick up. Never be scared of asking lots of questions to be sure of what you`re buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Scarface : yeah I didn't appreaciate the fact that there is a lot of rare stuff on ebay. I'm from Cumbria and I've never seen that Supra about on the roads round here. Looks quite tidy actually. Pitty its an auto LOL. (runs and hides!)

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 i have sold my cars on ebay and they were mint and not at high prices ie tt 6 speed £8500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 A mint TT 6-speed is worth well more than £8500.... why sell through ebay when if you put it for £12000 (say) on autotrader you could make the true value of the car? or is the trick to put the reserve price at the price you really want to sell the car at? As you can probably tell, I really not upto speed on how ebay works LOL ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 aji that tt was mint i only had it in uk for 5 days and it sold a got an offer a made on ebay and a made profit so i was happy a could of waited to sell it and got more but, quick buck for me there are different sellerd in ebay here is a list feel free to add scam artists quick buck huge profits or someone who just wants to sell at a loss. hope this does not confuse u, but avoid scam artists and buy off people looking to sell asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
