What utter tosh and hypocrisy - I get the impression you will only believe what you want to believe regardless - are you really asking for receipts and bank statements submitted in triplicate as proof of microcar prices paid?
no, don't put words in my mouth.
but something more than pub gossip would be a good start.
You said "The part about having a previous offer of £40,000 is the myth as far as I am concerned." if thats not speculation on your side what is it?
I am not the one "speculating". I think you have something wrong here in the translation.
The alleged SELLER of the Peel P50 in question is the one that "claimed" to have already had an offer of £40,000 and turned it down.
I have no way to verify if this is true or not.
I already explained why previously.
"Wasn't Bruce asking 200,000 US$ for a yellow one last year". was a question which you refuse to answer.
oh, sorry I can answer that: No, Bruce was not asking $200,000 for a yellow one last year.
how's that?
No problem with that - just don't be suprised if others keep their dealings private.
I have no problem with people keeping their dealings private.
I do have a problem when people claim prices/offers etc that they cannot verify.
I had to write a whole article on the Peel Trident that was on eBay for £35,000 that did not sell. People saw the final price and just assumed the car sold for that amount when in fact it did not.
There was also a Peel P50 on UK eBay a few years ago and I was the high bidder at about £13,000 if I recall. The auction was "no reserve" so whoever was the high bidder would get the vehicle.
At the last moment another bidder came in and outbid me.
I am 99% certain that the high bidder was the seller using another eBay account because he wanted to ensure the vehicle did not sell for too cheap a price.
Oddly enough the seller had the EXACT same car for sale later privately for about £20,000 so I am fairly certain the car never sold in that eBay listing in the first place.
(Unless the seller -who shall remain anonymous here - can provide me with a better explanation)I considered it unreasonable to be asked to pay a $1000 (£600) deposit just to find the asking price of a car.
You really missed my point when I explained this earlier didn't you?
