Then why not give it a good clean inside and out to show people it's potential and list the defect that it's got.

The additional photos that are with the listing this time round do it no favours.

Well from the new photos he was obviously listening to me when I viewed it as he has removed the seat and steering wheel covers & I told him the front inner wings were excellent compared to most which are usually corroded. :). The engine bay has had a bit of a polish too.

Must be costing the guy a packet to keep listing the car, 30 quid a pop on feebay isnt it?

Ive had a look at the feebay costs for selling a car.

Standard auction £10
BIN £10
Classified £14.99

Then there are final value fees;

0.001 - 1999.99 £20
2000 - 3499.99 1%
3500+ £35

I hope this clarifies things.

Its possible that the seller of this motor may have had some of his fees refunded but i reccon he would have to have paid for at least 2 lots and if there was shill bidding involved a final value fee as well. Getting more and more expensive for him. How many times will it take to make a sale.?
