Topic: ** sold ** C5 for sale

[mike7201]

Hello all.  It's with my deepest regret, that I have to inform you that I have to sell my C5.  Something's happened which has meant I need to raise some fast cash, and as it breaks my heart to say it, but this is something which I can turn into cash.

So, if you see it on ebay (seller mike7201), that'll be me.

Perhaps if it's ok, I would like to stay part of the forum?  Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to own a C5 again.  However, I want to say to everyone, that I am incredibly grateful for the help and support you've given me over the last year.  It's been amazing fun.  Never thought I could smile so widely!

I didn't realise I'd feel so disappointed with myself for selling a C5, but there we have it. 

Cheers,

Mike

Sorry to hear that Mike - hope you get a good price for it and I'm sure you'll be back amongst the C5 owners very soon... once you've got the bug...

  Hope everything works out for for mate, and as you say, fingers crossed that you will get another C5

Like Marty says , sad to see you selling the c5 mate - but no need to leave the forum 

Why not place an advert on this forum , its free and at least you know it will go to someone who will take care of it 

[mike7201]

Why didn't I think of that?  That's the first place I looked when I wanted a C5!

Ok...  Have done.

Cheers,

Mike

In the photo's it looks like the pod is missing, or at least one of its mounting pins - do you need a spare one ?
 

[mike7201]

So it does.  Well, rest assured though, it's definitely there.  The pod fixings are mixed, and just how I purchased it.  One is white, and the other is black.

I don't think I need anything at present thanks, unless you think I do?

Cheers,

Mike

Well, the auction has ended.  What a waste of time that was.  The winning bidder is in Canada, and doesn't pay - so what now?

[MikeDX]

Sadly you just join the list of ebay sellers who get stuffed by ebay.

Offer it to the next highest bidder?

[TOFFEEBOY]

Mike, these pillocks really get on my nerves when they do this. Why bother?
Quickly make a '2nd chance offer' to the 2nd highest bidder - you'll see how to do this in 'myebay'.  He then should accept it and you'll get £390 for it, I think.

Secondly, file a 'non paying bidder' report on the first sale. This will make ebay give you a refund on their sales fees - which will be a few quid on £400.

Have done.  We'll see.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear you've been messed about mate - I had a similar nightmare trying to sell the miniEl. Reporting the non-paying "winner" does at least give you the final valuation fee back, but you still lose out on the listing fee and it has no impact on the idiots rating 

Have you considered a free advert in the classic car weekly ? I had no problems at all wit them, and a very healthy response to the miniel advert.

Plus it is obviously much cheaper than Ebay .......

[mike7201]

Thanks mate, I may try that option, but I need to wait for a reply from the second chance bid option that I've offered to a previous bidder first.

Cheers,

Mike
