Husband does not have an ebay account.
Husband wishes to sell old car to get extra cash for better more eco car.
Husband told me the ad was fine when i read it out to him after completing it.
Husband, 3 days later, told me ad is not fine and needs stuff adding to it.
EBAY annoying the hell out of me because it's crap and talktalk hates me using firefox and that hatred is c*cking everything up.
GNAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down, calm down... Haven't you got any wood to chop, to get rid of all this anger?

Hope you are feeling better by now. Tell husband he should have made up his mind in the first place... (Or send him out to chop the wood!)

I suppose chopping husband would be out of the question? (although probably very satisfying)

[mrsflibble]

chopping husband was an option last night but I realised I really rather like his company!
ebay advert now looks like a trained monkey wrote it, but i dont care; we may have no bids on it but we have 10 watchers (means nowt if the buggers dont bid) and a couple interested in buying it even if the auction doesn't sell it so it will be going. it was a husband and wife couple that came to see it, i get a bit of a "plod" vibe from the husband though so I'm unsure whether to offer him a test drive of our untaxed vehicle lest I should be nicked lol!

As for getting a better car... I@m working on it. sod jim, i know how much cash we have spare lol!

If you dont manage to sell it on ebay then try auto trader, you have to pay about £15, but it is much less hassle.

I tried to sell my previous land rover on fleabay but no luck. Too far north I think to sell something like that - not enough people around.

I stuck it in the local yellow paper thingy and sold it the next night. (Well the next day 'cos the buyer wanted to 'see it in daylight' bugger).

Good luck with the bidding tho!

Yes, I know the feeling, only its not a car on eBay, its needing help to finish our renovations and I feel like its hopeless.

Antbody feel like hopping over this summer to help me upgrade insulation.?

I was surprised at the cost of selling a car on ebay, my old micra went for £70, got a bill for over £20 for selling fees so watch out!

kind thoughts

we knew how much it was going to cost us to sell on ebay 'cos it's what we've done with our last car. we factored that into the price. it's on for £225. £25 for ebay fees, £100 for recents parts to pass the MOT, £100 as extra 'cos it's got so many miles on the clock that it's not worth much more than that. it's a 1991 Mazda MX3. and it sucks. oh, and it kinda guzzles fuel an is only 49cc over the cheap tax cut off point so it's in the expensive tax bracket.



but it has a catalytic converter lol!!

I now have a few people offering me cash to end the auction. there's no bids on the car yet so it wouldn't be against ebay rules, but i just keep passing jim's phone number on to them. 's not up to me ho much he wants for it, me and his dad (the car's current babysitter) want it gone. it's living at his dad's 'cos it's MOT'd but not Taxed and we have no off street parking where we live now.
