Online car auction

www.patkeogh.com is having a on-line auction of BMW's and mini's.
He's promising up to 50% off ( Mind you the reserve seems a bit high).
Knock yourselves out in a orgy of mouse clicking to get the car you deserve.

Looks bogus to me. He already has several bids just a bit under the asking price. Yeah right

Ya there seems to be a bid on the M3 he's had since the start of the year, alot of his prices seems to be fairly closes to the retail, and i don't see any 50% off lol...

Some of his reserve prices look a touch on the hopeful side for an auction.

LOL. They must think people are fools.

I reckon the bank who paid for his very posh BMW showroom might be looking for their money about now.

But we're not fools, it's a car auction, and they are definitly 50% off and the cheapest prices in Ireland.

Haha

they really must take us as absolute tools......his reserve prices are a joke and way way above of what you'd pay in this day and age walking into a dealer with a wad of cash.

I'm guessing someone bid on it, and a certain person bid on it to up the anti lol.

Sent them a message via the contact us section of the website telling them what I think of that pretend auction.

Is it suitable to publish your message here too?

The horrendous 2 tone grey view when you click the "browse our stock" button is enough to hurt my eyes and make me close the tab.
