Rich Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Looks like the engine and interior is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Engine looks a little wounded to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Difficult to tell properly from photos but the block looks to be ok although can the trauma of being rolled damage them internally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well it has a 99p offer on it at the moment...... I might take a gamble and offer a quid providing they deliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 You need to read properly Tony (PLEASE NOTE THIS AUCTION IS FOR WHEEL NUT ONLY) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yet another F G con..... Why display the car and all the cars details if all that's for sale is a poxy wheel nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Everyone does that, even I did that with the Mondeo, it's not a con. You contact the seller asking about the parts you want and then buy them. It saves on listing and final value fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesV70R Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 For the state its in I am amazed that none of the airbags have gone off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 It doesn't read right..... Display the entire car, describe the entire car and the in the middle say it's just for a wheel nut... Selling my house i didn't display a picture of it and then say all your getting is door handle.

Selling my house i didn't display a picture of it and then say all your getting is door handle. You didn't advertise your house for 99p though You really need to learn how ebay works, this is common practise with everyone who breaks cars on there. No one is going to list every single part they have for sale before they have a seller, it would cost too much in fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I know that but why not just list what is for sale in this case rather than spoof it. FFS they are selling a wheel nut.... SHOW THE NUT THEN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 No one is interested in the wheel nut and we all know what one looks like. It's done to stop people bidding on it thinking they are getting the whole car whereas it's only being advertised to be broken, which it clearly states - you need to think of it as a classified advert not an auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sorry maybe it's just my way of thinking...... Normally if i see an advert for something like aftershave i assume it's not just the bottle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesV70R Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 They are showing the nut if you look close enough This is similar to the xbox thread. If someone paid 99p and only got a wheelnut, would ebay refund them, and BMW give them a free M3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 You know what..... I don't think i'll bother. ebay seems to be in the forum news everyday with someone getting done over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesV70R Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 With 94 Million active users, and $2000 (As of August 2012) per SECOND in sales ... the law of averages says someone somewhere is occasionally going to get done over. Its perfectly safe to use, you just have to read exactly what you're buying and make sure you don't assume anything. If in doubt, ask the seller.

Exactly, I have been using it for 12 years now and apart from the odd dickhead who has already sold the item I won I've never been 'done over'. It's the people who don't read properly who do.

Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 As a new surfer so to speak i would be worried about buying from ebay. It just seems full of deceptions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 You are protected more as a buyer than a seller on ebay and paypal. You just need to know the scams, ask questions if you're not sure and read everything! Don't let the minority spoil it for the majority.

Tony Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Blimey i don't think i have the power to deny anything that could be judged as spoiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
