Brilliant thread and a great idea, absolutely loving the updates, hoping you do manage to get to car number 12 and finish up breaking even at least. Myself and my wife both love old cars and enjoy tweaking / tinkering with them to bring back up to scratch. We decided that to try and improve our mechanical skills and overall knowledge that we would buy cars that needed some work / repairs doing to them, so that we could improve ourselves and the cars before selling them on. We agreed that we would only buy cars up to the year 2000, as after this date computerised electronics / sensors and the overall design of them makes it difficult for the home mechanic to carry out repairs. Still enjoying ourselves and still loving it, also still waiting to break even, nevermind make a little profit though, lol. We've also had issues with the bay of fleas, only a couple of times though. I mostly advertise as a classified ad to keep costs down and the first time I did this, I set the ad up so that if someone offered an amount I'd be happy with, it would automatically accept the offer and end the auction. A few days later I got an email stating that the car had been sold for a reasonable offer. Only, the buyer didn't get in touch and didn't reply to my emails, checking his feedback it was fairly evident that he regularly bids on things without paying and collecting them, always larger items as well but mostly cars. Needless to say he is now blocked from bidding on anything we offer for sale and all my classified ads are now set up so that I receive notification of the offer and I can decide whether to accept it or not. The other issue was very similar to yours, I got notification of an offer a couple of hundred under the classified price ( I budgeted for offers ) I accepted the offer and the buyer turned up on time, we went for a drive and he crawled all over the car afterwards. He then offered me less than his original offer to " drive it away now", I declined his offer stating that he had already offered more which was still £200 less than my asking price, he agreed and gave me the full amount he'd offered previously.
