13 Ligiers on eBay

At 495 gbp apiece, he would be selling for about 4x what he paid for them.
Perhaps he will reawaken my interest if he drops his price to a more reasonable margin in the next couple of weeks.

But your the hot buyer Steve. Oh dear! Just why buying a publicly kicked job lot on eBay is not the easiest thing to make big bucks from. Time will tell.

And he'll get less than he would have, for putting the listing ALL IN SHOUTY CAPITALS.
The worst eBay offenders must be those who use ENORMOUS RED CAPITALS THROUGHOUT.

I always feel much less inclined to bid high - if the sellers can't be arsed to be considerate of their potential bidders, how will they react if there's a later problem that needs sorting out?   Definitely difficult to trust such a listing!

I do hope that's a typo Mr Miller and that you have not taken to using rude language on the forum?

I also wondered if we were after the woodshed or over the back yard or whatever also  a bit strong Dave after all to paraphrase the famous late Mr Winner - calm down dear its only a commercial    actually I do heartily agree Dave

 Another Cambridge Ligier has surfaced! Whilst browsing the TV tonight & settling upon Salvage Hunters, with Drew Pritchard, tonight's episode saw him visiting Anstey Hall, Cambridge, in search of antique furniture. Upon being shown into one of the large barns round the back, the camera pans round & lo & behold, there sits another one of these City Wheels electric Ligier's. It first hoves into view at just on 5.50 in the below link, and then a few more times as the clip progresses. Is it me or does this one seem to have the back of the roof/body cut off behind the doors? 

 Also, what is that blue thing in the shed to our left at roughly 6.30; another Enfield?

And I thought I was the only one to notice this Ligier.  Carries the registration C512SJH

[Stuart Cyphus]

 Does that mean I pass the Krypton Factor Observation round? 

 C512 CJH, date of registration, 29th March 1986, last taxed 1st July 1995, motive source, electricity, revenue weight 1250kg!

And in much the same addresshire. Note building references and local plans on research, confirmed by spy. We never did find out what was in the shed as well, though. Just as well, probably, as I should not be buying.

[Big Al]

The same one is still up for sale I think. No interest, it seems. Hmmm.

[richard]

That's a shame as he would have had great expectations  and now he might have a Dickens of a job clearing them , ouch

[Bob Purton]

It is a shame. on the other hand the rumsters who were pontificating about whether to buy or not and didnt probably made the right decision.

[richard]

? Bob 

[Big Al]

Free comer in the ashtry, Sir. Nectar card?

Probably the right choice too, I think.
