I put my classic low mileage mint…
I put my classic low mileage mint condition Porsche Cayman up for auction having paid for the photographer to visit and do his bit. I received a bid I was happy with and a few days later two Irish gentlemen turned up I assumed to collect the car. They took the car for a drive and promptly returned it and said they didn't want it. As this was my first experience of this I was took back but said o ok and they left. However, then while returning my car to its usual position it sounded like a bag of nails !! Short story is that they had broken one of the CATS and ran. I received no compensation and spent another £2K putting it right. After discussing this with the firm they agreed to do something about the fees if i were to put it back on, which I did. I received another bid although £2k less than the first I took it, expecting the reduced fees to go someway to make up the shortfall. Well the car finally got pick up without any trouble but full fees where taken, with the company saying o no we meant if you put another vehicle up with us we would look to give you a discount !!! Fuming !!! Aslo the winning bidders come to basically view the car again an dthen decide if they want it, it was my understadning that any viewings or questions were supposed to be done prior to putting a bid in certainly a winning one ! Its obvious this isn't made clear enough to winning bidders that they are purely meant to be picking the vehicle up, not viewing with other intentions. SO they earned £1600 out of me £800 out of the final winning bidder, and I'm £2k down on the sale priced and £2k down on the repairs. NOT GREAT WON'T BE USING THEM AGAIN ! AVOID IF I WERE YOU.
