Wonder what his (her) reserve is.

[Bibs]

In my experience, auctions don't peak with 6 days left of them. Will be interesting to see if it hits six figures with the fees. 

It's a change in personal circumstances forcing the sale, I found out yesterday it belongs to the brother of a friend of mine. 

 

[philnotts]

Do we know if the listing has a reserve price?

[Rambo]

If it were me selling, and bearing in mind the change of circumstances mentioned by Bibs above, I would set the reserve at whatever the car has cost plus additional expenses that might be incurred ie seller's commission, VAT etc... Plus a little more for a small profit. 

Anything above that would be a nice bonus and, based on supply vs demand, I could see this particular auction going very well

very early days though, got 6 more to go!

Edit: running behind the thread here!

If it sells for well over RRP, I can imagine quite a few early customers suddenly experiencing an unforeseen “change in circumstances”. 😉

[Barrykearley]

Especially since the i4 is going to be so much better 

[MJON]

Exactly 🤭

Win a brand new Lotus Emira worth over £75,000! This is your chance to win this newly released sports car! Wondering how much tickets are? They’re as little as £2.10! Get them while you can!

I suspect CC will have persuaded the seller to set the reserve so bid + buyer costs = list price, which is roughly what that's now at.

Any guesses on final price? 30 Hours to go... My guess 87k....

[MJON]

£87K? including the buyer premium, bit of a stretch but we’ll soon know

[Rambo]

Floundering at £78k at present.

£82.7k not sold is my best guess

[TomE]

It's above the reserve so should sell.  It didn't sell when advertised at £105k, which might have produced an offer around £100k that was turned down.  I reckon it will go over £90k due to bidder exuberance and being the first one to come up at auction.

[Rambo]

No reserve on this particular one 🤔

[TomE]

It says "No reserve" because the bidding is now above the reserve.

£78K bid = £82,600 including commission

Auto-bidders pumping it up...

[Bibs]

[exeterjeep]

See it had auto extend 

[DaveC72]

84.5K, bought by an auto-bid (where they set the max they'll go to)
