Disappointing
I recently advertised a car on C&C but received little response from genuine buyers, only from time wasters. I was prompted by C&C to place the car in their auction. I was interested because a car similar to mine had recently sold for £17000.00. I rang C&C and spoke to Mr X about placing my car in their auction. My car was in show condition and I requested a reserve of my asking price ie £13250.00 which I thought reasonable. To my surprise Mr X told me that I could not have that reserve figure because MGB’s were only selling for between 6 and 7k. I said that surely that depends on condition and his general statement was incorrect. He responded and said that he would only place a reserve of 10k. I refused this low reserve. I asked him about the MGB which had reached £17k but he did not give me a satisfactory answer. On another note, I was prompted to ‘boost’ my advert, which I did, but did not receive the ‘boost’. They have refunded my money but that is beside the point, they failed to boost my advert. The good news is that I have just sold my MGB for the price advertised. C&C need to review their valuations for show condition cars, they cannot be ‘lumped in’ with the’also rans’
