You're going to end up putting it back on the road and flogging the dingo...

Don't tempt me, it's so close

I said if it didn't hit £300 by 8 o clock tonight I'd pull the ad and then buy a starter and sell it as a runner
Why, what do you think?

I'd say it's worth the 400 all day long, hell the work you put into the ebay ad is worth that but it's only worth what others will pay so you have a decision to make...the problem with ebay is it could stay at that price or you could get a lot more.

Decision time: Pull the plug at 8pm or spend the next 24hrs hitting refresh every half hour... Or would that just be me?

No, me too.......or am I already doing that

The one I was looking at hasn't got any bids, so think i've got till 2034 to make the decision ( bet some clever dick will make comment about "wow, 21years, you really need time to think )

The problem with pulling it is that you may miss out on a sale. It's only £310 now, but we all know that f*ck all happens on Ebay until 60mins before it ends. There's still the chance that it could hit the magic £400 (or even get close), but if you pull it & relist at a later date you might not get bids that high again as people may not trust it if they remember seeing it before.

However, if you're seriously that torn about pulling the listing as it's only at 75% of what you want for it, there's probably still a little something inside you that just doesn't want to let the car go...

Damn right I don't want to see it go

Then if you don't need the money & can afford to keep it, pull it now & keep it as a project. Do it up again over time as a weekend hobby. If he's interested, it could be something you & your boy could do together & could even be his first car when he's old enough (could qualify as a potential classic for cheaper insurance).

But if you can't, then maybe it's harsh truth time & it needs to go for whatever it ends at. You could sell the 'dingo, but based on completed Ebay listings (it's what I usually do to get a worst case scenario), would you get what you want for it?

another 46 quid and target is reached... Hard to know what to do on ebay at times.

I believe I am your 37th watcher
Personally I wouldn't sell it now, I'd make her happy on the road and a runner then sell her (it makes sense and you'd get more money) but if you dont have the time nor money to do that and keep her a little bit longer you have to let her go now.
Hope it ends well tonight, I shall be busy with the kids so doubt I will see it end.

Does he have right handed repetative refresh strain?

Well I guess as it's gone over £400 he'll be happy.....
He's probably down the gym I can't keep up with his status updates on FB

Right hand gets plenty of workout so all is good at the mo
Been out 4 odd hours so managed to miss some of the fun

Probably? Probably?
Yeah just done 2 odd hours in the gym, after going and buying the son a suit for a wedding we are going in a couple of weeks ( generous donation from his grandma that his grandad doesn't know about hence why I can afford it and yet couldn't afford to fix the chariot )

Thing is had a conversation with Stu and he suggested that sometimes people like a little project and i'd probably fail to recoup my costs of putting the starter motor on it.
I would of asked £500 working, and guess I might have got knocked down on that, so as it is the scenario is panning out quite nicely
