Where are all the buyers?

I have had my wifes MX5 Eunos up for sale for 3 weeks now and not one enquiry to view or anything. I was convinced it would go straight away. It has all the toys with it and good condition. Maybe the recession is biting harder than I thought.

Nothing seems to be selling well at the moment, even (motor)bike sales are slow which is unusual for the time of year.

I have had the westy up for sale on PH and ebay. It didnt make reserve but I did a deal away from ebay at the max bid. I now have a gut feeling that will fall through. The annoying bit is that as soon as the car and related parts are sold and I have the cash I become one of those missing buyers ready to spend

I have decided to call my Westfeild "The Caterhammer" Hopefully it will

A certain lady on here spoiled it, when she posted that she had bought an MX5 for £50.

At the end of the day you are asking nearly 2 grand for a 16 year old car. I paid not a lot more than that for a younger z3

Listed our caravan on eBay last Sunday, it was sold out of eBay yesterday for over 1k more than we paid for it 3 years ago, when I ended listing it had over 220 watchers so ther are buyers out there, how does the asking price stack up ?

That was a local car for local people, not for the likes of you.

Very nice indeed and if it is as good as it looks there well worth 2k imo. I'd be interested but:

I don't think you'll take (or she'll allow you to take) a slightly tatty 106 in px

All the buyers are waiting for sellers to start asking more realistic prices, things just aren't worth what they were 3 years ago in the boom times, there is more stuff for sale and far fewer buyers who are more careful.

This is even more prevelant with toys like MX5s, Motorbikes and Locosts.

I was offered £1700 at start of the year by a dealer so I dont think price is too far out. As said it seems that buyers are looking for massive discounts at the moment so I may have to drop price or wait for market to change. Thanks for the interest you guys.
