Dreamer with an attitude problem

Found this MX6 on ebay and thought i'd ask what the price was as it has no mot or tax and Gerry is looking for some better panels for his blue 6.

SUPERB CONDITION BLUE 1994 MAZDA MX-6 V6 ABS+ALLOYS on eBay, also, Mazda, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 14-Jun-09 21:55:55 BST)

I asked politely what the asking price was and got this reply.

Hi if I had to say I would say £950 I have obviously put up for auction for the best price I can get hence no buy it now but if you want it straight away I can add abuy it now.
thanks

I then explained that I thought the price was a tad optimistic based on age/mileage/not mot/tax etc and sent a link to the auction from our car yesterday. Then I got this reply.

WELL WHY ASK?I HAVE PUT IT UP FOR AUCTION THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT SO IT WILL FIND ITS OWN LEVEL -THIS IS EBAY WHY ASK FOR A PRICE IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN IDEAS? THERE IS A RED ONE ON EBAY NOW SAME YEAR FOR £1300 running so i think your figures a little out- it depends on the bidders at the time-so why not bid??I cant understand the aversion to bothering to bid!

Shame, the car looks ok but the seller might be in for a bit of a shock.

Am I being stupid or is there no eBay link Windy?
Or do you not want us to see it and make a horrible mistake?

**windy_mx6** · 6-9-09, 16:22

Crusader · 6-10-09, 20:18

Hi mate,

No probs, hadn't seen this before I posted. With an attitude like that (though I can agree with it finding it's own level, he's a bit optimistic at £950 BIN) he won't sell it to anyone that wants a BIN. Unless of course the questioner isn't as knowledgeable about MX-6's as most of us here

, something he'll bank on unfortunately

Hehe, I assumed as much. Optimistic yes, even from what little I know!
It will find its own level yes, but unfairly it seems as you said, relying on fleecing some poor innocent like me

**clivjoo** · 6-11-09, 14:44

seems to me he is relying on people going mad bidding, i dont think he realises that this simply wont happen with this car, nice as it is it simply isnt worth that much money market wise. nI understand where hes coming from with his reply, but hey, "chill out mate, he only asked!"

Crusader · 6-11-09, 14:49

Yeah, looks like it doesn't it?
Aside from his inaccurate market valuation, it's just not going to be that popular - unlike us lot here with taste

- especially on eBay.
Chill indeed!

**windy_mx6** · 6-13-09, 17:33

interesting, with 23 hours to go theres been a frenzy in the bidding and now its up to £5.50p

Still says reserve not met tho so maybe he's holding out for 6 quid.

**windy_mx6** · 6-14-09, 17:01

I guess it "found its own level" lmao.

£205 is cheap but fair, considering its got no mot/tax and the seller says it needs the rear brakes doing + what ever else it would need.

Wonder if it will get relisted?

Crusader · 6-14-09, 19:17

Probably yeah, with 250bhp by a different seller :P
