eBay is like that - a handful of bargains, but also tons of overpriced stuff. You only need two slightly clueless people to start a bidding war and who knows where it will end...

Paul

Bring her around with you next time Tim... :-)

Martyn

I've only ever been a buyer - not seller.

however, I may need to make road room outside if I'm to be allowed a Radio bodied 101...

This may mean selling my much loved and little used Ziggy S3 :-(

Martyn

Hmmmmm

I suspected that this was coming, and have already opened discussions. The bruising will go down shortly no doubt.

Will you be accepting Paypal?

Freaking heck. I bet Bellargio are thrilled. Maybe they'll be able to invest in a keyboard that doesn't have the frickin caps lock stuck on?

Well they are closer to you than me....

The trouble with eBay is that I would need to know Ziggy is going to a (very) good home - and to someone who would carry on my (expensive) tradition of maintenance. So you've passed the first test... :-)

I'll willingly go one-on-one with you on counting bruises following my putting an offer in on a Radio bodied 101... :-(

Not sure how to introduce the idea of a Vampire to complete the collection. This may involve pre-booking a bed on the ICU...

I guess so. I have a PayPal account, but have only ever spent, not 'been paid' via it - but I guess it'll work...

I still do not appear to have received your remaining kidney, BTW ;-)

Martyn

It will, but it will also cost you 3.5%, which you may want to pass on to the buyer. So Tim, you'd be better with cash really.

First refusal please. Or I'm happy to look after him for you if you cannot bear to sell him ;-). Of course I could just pull Stig out of the garage and do the £50 of work required to get him running again... But the garage door is broke.

Just mentioned it again, and this time it was just bare fists, no cutlery and nothing on my face, so I'm taking that as 'maybe'...

The collection wouldn't be complete without a Dredd and a Llama. If you get next door to sell his car then I reckon you've got room.

Costs a few percent, but it's now free to download cash sums above a certain figure (a hundred quid or so) whereas it used to cost you to get the money out too.

Bugger...

Yup. There's this on at the moment:

2a/3 complete gasket set for gearbox. Current bid £13, retail price £2.40.

Where's the sense?

On or around 13 Nov 2003 22:41:54 GMT, snipped-for-privacy@aol.comknujon (AN6530) enlightened us thusly:

I rather think this is some kind of scam do get 'em either tax-free or allow 'em to import to the states, or something of that kind.

it's fairly obviously a new "1971" vehicle. must be summat going on.

and BTW, can I commend

to your attention.

is much less likely to get broken in transit than the above.

Hmmm. They really do take this interweb thingy seriously, don't they. Go to the stock page and you see "Cars in stock as of November 2002".

Very true - but there agin I'm just lazy ;-)

NATO Desert Sand paint. £6950" advertised on 3/11/03

sorry Charlotte

Andy

I'd like to see this.

Me and Lee were thinking about awnings for the ambi's the other night.

Just got to find somewhere to buy some cheap canvas from now, and then a sewing machine that'll sew it, and then see if i can bribe my mother...

I gues it's like any aucttion - you need to know the "real" price and availablilty or know that the thing is so rare that you are gonna have to pay whatever it takes to get it if you want it.

I've had loads of eBay bargains - I also include "rip-off" postage in my bidding decisions btw ;-)

Best one was £350 worth of valves for £20 odd quid! Which kept an old motor on the road when, technically, it wasn't worth fixing - ;-))

Mike.

I know this vehicle, and very nice though it is, I'm after an original condition radbod. I have nothing against mods and camper conversions

- obviously, but my radbod will be a resto so not cut-up is essential.
