TR 2100 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Any speculation on what the "reasonable reserve" might be? AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Your guess is as good as mine . . . . . I fail to understand why sellers can't simply commence proceedings at the lowest price they are prepared to accept. The whole reserve business is just time wasting, and encourages genuine bidders to walk away. This car had 'sold' back in December http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960-Peerless-GT-Phase-2-MoTd-Ready-To-Drive-and-Enjoy-TR2-TR3-TR6-/371208994669?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item566dc7bf6d Presumably some aspect fell short of the buyer's expectations ?

Cheers Alec Buyer had 0 feedback, so it's anyone's guess whether there was some problem related to the car. I certainly wouldn't assume that, especially when you look at the seller's feedback. As it met it's reserve and "sold" for a little over £13,000, it's fair to assume it's in fairly "ordinary" condition. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 It's a decent old car, and well known, and you can see some of the effort that went into the rebuild if you look at Frank's file of photos from the link on the listing. When I mentioned 'some aspect fell short' I wasn't meaning necessarily of the car itself - there are plenty of 'buyers' out there with extraordinary expectations . . . . . For example, a TR6 sale fell through recently as the 'buyer', winning bidder, expected 6 months unlimited warranty from the (private) seller . . . . . and that car had been relisted, owing to the previous winning bidder expecting that the seller would accept payment in instalments . . . . . Nowt so queer as folk. Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel C Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I believe the guy just couldnt come up with the money, FJ gave him plenty of time (over a month) and still no joy... if you get the time pm me Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 That sounds just about in line my previous comment suggesting that "some aspect fell short of the buyer's expectations" Unfortunately some eBay bidders do have an expectation that sellers will wait weeks or even months for their money, or alternatively the seller expects to negotiate the hammer price downwards. Fortunately, there aren't too many complete pillocks like that out there, but they are a damn nuisance when they do pop up. Nigel, Peerlessgruppenfuhrer, your wish is my command, see PM and email . . . . . Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
