You don't need to be bidding.
Gives you a good idea on how an auction works if you've never been.
I've been watching for the past few weeks when I'm working

It did sound man. Jaysus some yokes there making more than I thougth they would. 04 2.4 petrol Voyager made 8.2k I think. + fee's. Doesn't sound oh so very cheap to me.

Is it over? Was going to watch (not bid) - I've installed the plugin it wanted, but it just keeps going back to ask for the plugin again.

philstar

If you are using IE, a little thing will pop up under the tabs bar. You've to except that as well.

What price did the Saab 9 3 go for?

dunno - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, not much value - i'm watching here.

niceirishfella

Value there - 25,400 for a 08 Transit Campervan/motorhome - well over 40k retail......nice.

ixus

Watched it on IE, but it froze after about an hour.
Maybe I shouldn't have posted it here :pac:

Some good value, some shocking. The usual I guess, but to see how they work.

I see no one wanted an 06 SRXi at more than 8.4K

Aye I think I saw 6k for a same year high roof Traffic. Good value in commercials alright.

I'm watching it now (as a viewer, not a bidder). Is it actually live, or a video of what went on earlier in the day?

It just ended for me, so I presume it's live? Could be wrong.

Slightly off topic. Will be looking for a van soon and will head down to both Merlin & Wilsons. Wilsons seems more user friendly as I dont see anything on their site about fee's and if it doesnt have a "sold as seen" sticker on it or isnt in the blue circle you have a certin amout of come back on faults that were not listed. Anyone been to both and give their views

Thanks

Comeback will be something there will be little of, when buying @ any auction especially in vans.
Lots of vans carry panel damage which some bidders accept stupidly.

My advice is ; set a budget (inclusive of vat and fee's), stick to it, identify, check ,test, check again,and bid like a pro. Leave your emotions at home.

bought from both. wilsons first.
my opinion i thou it was poor, didnt really click with it. plus it was dark and only saw the car as it drove thru.

merlins was a lot more professinal. all cars on display in the morning light with a plenty of information on display( milage, owners) bids were a little higher thou ill say that. but its done in a way to make u think its all good.

wilson car i bought i sold for a profit so all good (clutch was going) the merlin im keeping as wife likes it and wants it (usually she gets what she wants).

but have ur witts ur budget and ur head in rite place. dont get into a fight u cant afford to win!
