This seems cheap... Granturismo S @ Collecting Cars

[midlifecrisis]

All the action for my car happened in the last 3 hours of the auction so its difficult to gauge but it should have some way to go before the deadline.

But the good thing with collecting cars is that bidding last minute only extends the auction for another 2 minutes to allow all bidders of 'fair warning'

Yes as I found with selling my 205 Rallye... 4 minutes to original deadline and It was stuck at £10,250 with no reserve... I was in tears. Then the bids started to roll in - I think in the end the auction end time was extended by nearly 20 minutes as each bid added a rolling 2 mins to the end time. Final price £15,751. The rolling timer is a great idea as it stops sniping and allows people to consider their next step. Seems a good platform to sell on as that was pretty much what I had been told it was worth and I have 4200 manual exactly like DavidCs (Mileage, condition, history - not as nice colours though ) and would be happy with 14k in today‘s climate ... so definitely a platform worth considering if you are planning to sell.

But I still can't understand why people leave it to the last minute. The last bidder on MAF's GS came in at just before the last 2 minutes thereby not extending the auction. Glad he had a reserve as £18,250 is far too cheap for that GS.

If it’d met reserve that’d be £19,350 with fees - that doesn’t feel far off the mark for a 70k mile 2005 GS tbh. I think it looks great in yellow, but it’s a narrow market anyway - and narrower again for yellow!

Interesting that the manual 4200 made more than I would buy Mafs GS didn't make much more and nor what I would have expected.

Surely Mafs is worth at least 5k more than an older 4200.

Mafs has to be starting with a 2 at the very least even in a slow low market.
