BEWARE OF ZERO RATED BIDDERS LIKE the one on there NOW.
Cancell their bis unles the email you first before bidding.. one of my conditions.
Everyone has to start somewhere, but most plonkers are Zero rated bidders. ie a bogus ID, set up to pratt about.
You should have put a £5-600 reserve on that lot..

Crazy,
Just as I'm getting into pace it's stopped, don't anyone know that broadband was built for last minute bidding.

There were 48 people watching the auction - but next to no bidders - it must be the time of year. I was hoping the combination of the end of month pay
days and the Aug bank holiday would have helped the sale. (Must be all us Scots are in bed early because we don't get Monday off )
The last bare chassis on ebay went for £155, uprights went for £80, and back axle £62, so I was expecting a bit more for my collection.
I couldn't bear to 2 1/2 years of blood, sweat & tears (mainly blood & beers, not enough sweat) going for such a low price.
So it looks like I've still got a hobby (and a messy garage) for the moment....

Okay,
Good on you, I suppose that you had to consider things that suit you first. Damn, damn and bloody damn.
I had spent the whole evening getting my wife to belive that a weekend in the highlands was worth it.

Getting loads of grieve from some dsaipointed eBayers. One even accused me of having "bushwhacked the spirit of the rules"!

Those 81 watchers were all waiting to the last minute to start a bidding war...
Many will be using auction snipping
programs to put in a final bid..
Some will sit there at 20 second to go and then put in a final bid... As I was going to.
I do it that way all the time.. It's auction gamesmanship...
You should have left it, if it did not make the reserve then there's not a lot lost..
