I had a phone call from the guy who's met the reserve on my car on Wednesday night. He specifically said that he met the reserve of £2800.
Got an email this morning saying that he's retracted his bid becasue he entered the wrong bid amount - what a curse word!

>:(Thats why i hate ebay as much as I love it. Too many faceless chancers. Was the bid he wanted to enter anywhere near what you want for the car? Hope it all works out.

Well it was my reserve so I was willing to sell the car at it! He asked me if I wanted to end the auction early which I said I was but until Friday night. He agree and said that he doesn't mind if the auction still ends next Thursday but will phone me Saturday morning regarding my decission.
I bet when he phones tomorrow he tries negotiating a new price!

I wouldn't sell to the guy on principal - tell him you sold it to a guy for a grand and leave him sick as a dog! EBay can be a right pain in the  sometimes - I'm forever getting people asking to end auctions early and offering silly low amounts. Jokers. Hope you get what you want for the car mate |

True. there seems to be a lot of time-wasters, dreamers and numpties using ebay. It's really annoying when there's something you want to bid on that suddenly disappears early, only to reappear "due to timewasters" the week after you bought something else!  What's worse is the fools who "trot" the price up by bidding up their previous bids!!! Anyway, good luck on the Mini selling front - my missus quite liked it when she saw it the Retro classifieds, and I agreed - Unfortanately cashflow prevents purchase of cars in this price range  (For now !  |

I'm going to speak to him tomorrow and deny all knowledge that he's removed his bid - see if he mentions it! If he doesn't ring I'll ring him and say that I'm going to end the auction early as he's met the reserve!  |

Why not go one step further and convince him that he bid £3800 for it? That'll teach the w*nker not to try that again! (Note the * so that the swear filter doesn't kick in again!  ) |

Or curse word, we could go on for ages (plus if there is one in the list I can easily remove it ;D)

What about the most offensive insult there is -

You have to admit that's worse than being a curse word!
