Bloke contacts me the other night asking, "how much will you take for the car ?"
Contacted him back saying £400.
He counters with, "sorry, I have only £300, how does that sound?"
I politely refuse saying that I'll let the auction run.
With 6 hours left to go, he is now the highest bidder at £410...
Isn't life strange ?
Had very similar experiences flogging our van. Most cash offers are a complete piss take, hoping to get it for less than it's worth.
What is it at now? My guestimate was =A3480?

Nope: he threw you a fish and bit in it himself.
Hit him with a hammer :-)

It's gone backwards? £360 now.
Got an email in form the high bidder saying they wanted to withdraw their bid due to the shorter MOT etc. I cancelled his bids - don't want an unwilling buyer.
Back up to £401 now.
£421 it finished at and the winning bidder lives around a mile from me.
I'm chasing something on there at the mo that I won't admit to unless I win it.
It's in Cumbria and I've had cause to venture up as far as Doncaster today so I contacted the guy to make a generous offer on it just so we could collect the whole lot in one day, but he wasn't interested... which is a shame, as I suspect I'll nick it for less that what I would have offered him to end it early.
I wasn't far out then. About a tank of petrol short.
