A nice stash of useful and hard to find parts no doubt....PLUS no reserve........!

P

I need that front axle for my '37 which is missing a lot of its front susp. parts.

If one of you buys the lot and doesn't need the front axle please contact me!

What's the betting it goes for well into 4 figures ::)

Why not buy it as a consortium lot guys....if one or two/three interested(one bids), even if well into 4 figures would be worth having....plus would advise someone to put a bid on it for starters as its not got a reserve, just in case he changes his mind!


P

Did that the moment I saw the lot!

....ah...so that was the bid for £50.50.....;)......hope you're successful William whether individually or as part of the LMC consortium....:)


P

Consortium idea is interesting, but how to organise it?  Don't want to cheat the seller by creating a 'don't bit' cartel...

Am assuming you know 4/5/6 Aprilia owners either in the flesh or on the forum, pm/text them to see if interested, agree on who wants what and then agree a top bid........will be worth it.

Not read through exactly what he has but looks a lot and more than useful


P

Seller may just be watching this (no its not me!)!!

Tim

Oh well...there goes that idea then!!!!...its a small world out there in Lancialand........am sure theres not a huge amount goes on that isn't known about by the hardcore enthusiast!


P

I know who the seller is and yes he is a LMC member. He also looks at the Forum!!

That can be sorted....we can rescind his membership and block his ISP address........;)


But then he's probably the resourceful type and will nip next door to his neighbours or buy one of those fancy phones...........drat!!!


P

Despite the time factor I wish that more of these interesting items would be offered in the VL for sale section for the non computing LMC members.richard

Indeed Richard, I have acquired several dozen VLs going back to the late nineties and noted the 2 full pages of adverts and now theres just 1/3 of a page in this edition, shame members don't take advantage of same.

Plus I suspect lots of members have things sat in their garages/shelves/sheds/attics which have been gathering dust for many years, nay decades which would find willing buyers amongst our members....rather than having to scour the worlds websites for months/years on end to find parts which are actually in the UK!




P

Its a free insertion weekend but instead of getting rid of my unwanted spares (do I have any in that category - they are all "wanted"...) I am seeing what other extraneous bits of household stuff can go.

I only mention this as others may have unwanted spares so you can put them on ebay at any price without being charged (this weekend).

Tim

So Tim...this is your advert?


P

£990.....someone got a bargain buy!


P

Dang!  I missed the end of the auction.

If the buyer's on the forum and doesn't need the front axle/suspension, please get in touch.

If you are annoyed at missing the end of an eBay auction, the cure is to use auctionsniper.com which will bid for you at the last moment. They only charge 1% of the final bid, which is peanuts. It's the only way I bid these days.

Hi All

You can also use bidnapper.com, have used them for years and they charge a fixed fee for either monthly/annual unlimited use or for so many wins, saves me a small fortune each year as I buy quite a lot on Ebay. For occaisional/low value items use the 1% fee of auctionsniper does sound attractive, though bidnapper can be much cheaper if you buy high value items.

Peter

Bid once bid well is my moto.

David,
I don't know if you use or know how it works but you can do that using these systems and set your highest bid at what you are prepared to pay, but no one else knows you're even in the bidding.
it will only bid just enough to win as long as it hasn't exceeded the price you set, then you will get a warning that you've been outbid, Even then if you do win, as you can set your bid time as say 5 seconds before the end of the auction, no one knows who actually won, but quite how it works and who wins if a lot of have set the same for their last bid time at 5 seconds, I don't know ???.
The good thing about Sniper etc is that you don't get into a bidding war and are not tempted push the price up to win.

[/quote] First come, first served. It's fair enough.

I'm disciplined and just have a long think and bid my max.  If anyone else wants to bid up against me that's their business. From experiance as both a buyer and seller it all happens in the last half hour be that real people or their robots.  As I see it the danger of it coming to me for "more than necessary" having revealed my hand early is pretty slim.

The danger I avoid is missing the auction completely.

David

I can see that a sniper USED TO BE an advantage - until everyone else starting using them...

David

As the human version of said sniper program...I usually win....;), most auctions finish at a time when I am near a computer so I can follow or react to what is happening....I usually have a maximum bid...plus 10% if its really special.


P

Yes and no...it all depends what your top bid is, everyone's will be different, just depends how badly you want it
