How lazy are some people

[Mutley00]

You would have thought that if you are going to sell a car, you'd at least take the trouble to / be intelligent enough to ....................

Wash it...

ditto....(and pay £25 for a V5)

or in the case of a red one for sale recently (that I can't find anymore) rinse it!

Ensure the photos are the right way up...

ditto - and take more than one or at least one with the whole car on...

I suppose if they are going to be this reticent, someone with MR2s close to their heart will probably get a bargain!

Amazing eh!!

I might go and look at the one in Clacton - my best mate lives there a spares car

It always amazes me how little effort some people go to in selling cars that are supposedly worth thousands of pounds. Even for shitters I've had over the years I'll give it a proper clean, take it somewhere for some decent photos and write a good, detailed advert. Anything less really puts me off.

Made me smile Ben - it sounds like you do for cars, what spin doctors do in the obituaries of recently deceased Labour Politicians and Trade Unionists!

nope didn't give mine the full valet treatment, sold it as a project, I'm certain new owner Bill appreciates that he got a bargain, should really have polished another £700 into it

[Ben]

Ha! not sure if there's much spin on it, I just take the time to describe all the good and bad points of any car so people aren't disappointed when they turn up

This one has just popped up on Ebay, again not very well presented, stuck at the end of a 3 car garage, no photos of the important areas, wings or engine bay.

I bet he pulls the auction before the end. he wanted 5-6k for this and is unlikely to reach it at auction in my opinion

Nice to see that sellers are just as lazy over there, as here (US). I've been doing a national search for about two months now, and can't believe just how dirty so many people leave their cars before taking what are so often really lousy pics on top of everything else, lol. Lot's of idiotic angles are shot that if you were maybe making a scrap book would be okay, but really lame for a sales ad. And of course there are plenty where they insist on shooting into a very bright light, and you can't make out anything but the car's silhouette. Combine that with their half-a@@ed descriptions, along with their incredible over valuations of the cars, and you have a huge stagnant list of cars going nowhere. Arrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
