eBay Mysterious pricing of Z3 3.0 on ebay

[mrscalex]

Okay, this one has got me curious. The starting price is being changed on a daily basis and it's never receiving any bids.

It's currently £4,750 but yesterday it was £3,850 for eample. I suspect he's doing it to force the car up search results by retouching the auction. It's certainly appearing every day in my ebay digest emails.

At £3,500 (lowest I've noticed) I'm surprised it hasn't sold. Has anyone seen the car or does anyone know anything about it?

etc etc for some weeks.

So if nothing else, if you are interested, start the negotiation at £3,500 and work backwards from there!

He has revised the price 15 times in 7 days if you look at the revisions history on the advert. Certainly a weird behaviour!

It is also a completely legitimate activity until someone bids on it apparently.

Not sure if its the same seller but that car has been knocking about ebay for a few months

I find it very off putting behaviour though!

Oh I fully agree! I was annoyed it isn't against the rules.

I'm always put off when they don't take honest photos of the car.

We don't want to travel hundreds of miles to then find out the interior is worn, just show us some proper pictures of it !!!!

Here is the link from when it was on ebay in April, it only reached £2415, before he pulled it.

Someone should send him a message as an interested party and ask why he keeps messing around with the price.

Please all, give me less work to do on here and tag this sort of post as 'eBay' and not 'for sale' as, basically, you aint selling.

I was not even whispering at you, you were not the OP.
I keep having to check when this stuff comes up in the 'for sale section' with the tag 'for sale' to see if it is a members serious add and not just some bullshyit about stuff people find on eBay......

[mrscalex]

It had eBay in the original title when I posted it!

I didn't even know there was an eBay tag.

Permission to carry on talking bullshyte?

Now that I do not have a problem with.....

 

[hard top]

I didn't even know there was an eBay tag.

By the way, forgot to say, when you post in the 'for sale' section and the blue for sale tag comes up, put your cursor on that and it comes up with a lot of tag options.

The pictures in the Ebay listing were taken in 2011.
Is the car near to any forum member that can go and have a look at it?
