Just wondered whether anyone had noticed this? I can't believe the price that it achieved, not a particularly high spec car either.

Well it was worth it to someone though it does seem a little high.

I doubt very much its sold, the bidding goes from £1200 to £3000 in 1 bid, something very strange there

Indicates a reserve at £3000.00.

Having looked at the automatic bids, the winning bidder entered their max amount at 20:59:06 when the bidding was still below £1200. From the timings it looks like the £3001 bid was a 'desperation' bid from someone at 20:59:25 with the auction ending at 20:59:27. My comment on the 'reserve' would appear to be wrong.

That's got to be someone taking the whatsit surely? Even if it didn't sound a little rough in places it wouldn't be worth that.

What's the betting that the seller will never see the cash!

Sounds like one of the normal Ebay jokers to me

The buyer or the seller with £3k reserve?

NI_Volvo_Nut · Sep 13th, 2010, 17:27

Never thought about a reserve, could explain the strange bidding....

Maybe the vendor thought £1200 was to low,wouldent be the first time or the last.W

atch out for a relisting.

I think it'll be re-listed in a few days. I remember when I was younger, some of my friends put a penny on ebay and started a bidding war right into the £100k's, then when it ended ebay wanted their share lol. It took ages to get the charges dropped.
