You are bidding on the OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK at this
Mitsubishi GALANT VR4 Type S


he wants £8000 but they cost £3000+ in japan. what a con, people are always out to exploit


buy it now for 99pence. buy what?
that legally means that you can own '96 VR4 for 99p via a ebay loophole!!!!!INSERT INTO post VALUES (it does state that only physical items can be sold on ebay)

If you wish you can complain to ebay but I would like to provide this opportunity for other people to have a look at the VR4. What have you got against 99p to have a look at the car, rather than some twerps use buy it now and shut down the auction without paying! Besides 99p is the lowest price I can use for BIN.

ok, it is cheap in Japan, but as I said before the CIF + SVA would be a lot more than the actual price of the car. I wouldn't say I am exploiting supernormal profits. I am asking for a price which is lower than the market value INSERT INTO post VALUES (not £8k BTW) and provide an opportunity for other people to become its first official UK owner.

BTW if any body is interested just give me a shout. I am reducing the size of other photos at the moment.

I'm confused here... Why not just put it up for sale with the price you want? It's taken me a while to figure out the point behind the ebay add?!

Why? Because I give buyers different options, just like other dealers would when providing an augmented service.

I believe this is the type of ad that belongs to autotrader. Rather than people bidding for the car, I want them to come and have to look for themselves on a first-come-first-serve basis, and prevent the highest bidder not buying. What's wrong with that?

I admit I have never seen this technique being used before, so I would like to try it out and see what happens.

At the end of the day, I am not interested in that 99p fee, I just want to attract people's attention and they are not obliged to part with their ££££ until they are fully satisfied with the car, and this cannot be done at ebay when people are offering a load of crap and the highest bidder have to buy it.

I would welcome advice on how to improve the ad!

About the importing costs how much would it cost to drive it from japan to england if you choose not to ship it
ferry-japan to south Korea
ferry form mainland Europe to England?
I am sure that it would cost less than the £550+docking/unloading fee importers are asking

I think the fuel cost would be £2k alone, I don't think it is legal to drive through those countries without a registration!

OK. that is a bad idea! Back to the VR4, I would personally import the car myself if was going to get a VR4 But at moment I ave to settle with the power of the GLS!!!
