4 days is still loads of time.

most people would wait untill the last day to start putting in their high bids

it depends on the car being sold..Modified ones don't seem to be favourites from what can be seen

whats your reserve? I've never sold a car on Ebay but when I have sold other things on there nothing much seems to happen until the last day or so then all the bids start coming in

2000 through paypal, bet you got bummed!

I'd take the milage of 120k out of the millage bit. And unless the shell is tatty or something i wouldn't really mention the 120k shell millage.,as subconsciously could put people off imo. If they want to know they could always ask anyway!

not too bad with the motor listing day, if not it would have been a bit excessive.

how many people are watchin in? as they are your potential bidders on the last day.

Just trust ebay!! Prices always fly up at the last moment!!

I have had a 100% success rate with vehicles on ebay and have sold 3 within 24hrs of listing them due to people making me offers (for much higher than the reserve!!!)
