That's our Stef selling that. Looks possible home made by someone, but a tidy thing. Good side protection. If I hadn't just spent a year making mine, I'd have it!

Single picture doesn't give much away, might be nicely done, might be a pile of poo!

 

[Chas]

I'm going up to Julian V next Wednesday. I'll pop over to Steff and have a butchers, but I'll probably come back and say it's rubbish, don't bother bidding chaps

 

[Chas]

i've bid £100 on it

I'm right on your tail now, forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought the forum protocol was first to show interest had preference

Chas your posts are only 2 min apart, I reckon it was a genuine mistake

 

[Paul_Humphreys]

Chas, I have always found the best way is not to post it on it if you want it.

The posts were but were the bids?

The only 'protocol' on eBay is it goes to the highest bidder Chaz

Oxford Dictionaries definition for auction:-

"a public sale in which goods or property are sold to the highest bidder"

eBay yes, forum

 

[Bat21]

eBay yes, forum

The bumper is for sale on eBay

Even if it was for sale on the forum, the first to show an interest doesn't necessarily have a preference..... preference goes to whoever says "yes I will buy it".

OK, when other people have put bids in I've refrained from bidding so the price doesn't rocket, in future I'll just keep schtum, but the only person who will benefit is the seller.

Got say that whilst you chaps are all quite correct I am with Chas in terms of Gentlemen's etiquette. There has always been an informal agreement that when someone sees an auction item posted up and declares an interest, that we don't bid against each other. I am not saying that's right or wrong - but it's what we have done plenty of in the past. I have to say that if I really wanted an item that someone had declared interest in and decided to bid myself despite the informal agreement - I wouldn't say anything on the forum frankly. If I won, I wouldn't shout about it. Auctions are fair. Highest bidder wins. But on a specialised Landcruiser item like this there is no sense bidding against each other. After all there are unlikely to be hundreds of people after it. That's kinda why we post them up isn't it?

Having said that, there have been occasions where someone had taken first dibs as it were, others have held off and the original member didn't go on to bid. Now that's plain bad manners.

I am talking here, in general terms not about this item in particular. Easy for posts to cross. In essence it's a bit like Larry's rule for buying. But it's a free country.

I saw this as soon as it was listed.Added to my watch it and when the end of the auction came i would have brought it depending on the price that is. I hadnt even seen this post before i saw it on ebay.

Hard one to call i suppose. I understand everyones points but i have been undercut plenty of times and im sure plenty of times in the future.

If i really really wanted it i would usually get intouch with the seller and try and buy it before it gets to the end of the auction anyway.

Im sure as stef is a member on here he could be contacted through pm and see what price it would sell for off auction.
