Herbmiester 932 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 I would have bought this for 16k when it was initially offered. But because he was a bit of dick I bought two other cars, pisses me off as I really wanted it but now the money is spent. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks" - 6:19 pm, Fri 29 May The auction closed at 7.30pm thaat same night. Seems very strange you'd be bidding on a specific car like that and then suddenly buy something else in such a short time... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to buy it if its around when I sell my car, but wouldnt want to give that a**hole the pleasure of having my money. No doubt it will be around when my car is for sale though, even if that is months away... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leaving pinkjellydonut with it at 16k. Ironically andy003 was the big hitter see what he has for sale at the moment. Just sold a 911R last week too. All more than a little bit off really, just not what you expect to see from Trade Me. Really the "shill bids should be disallowed, and the car sold to the only bona fide bidder andy003 who wisely stopped at 15050, which was the true money on the night.

qube 3570 Report post Posted May 31, 2020 Seems more like a case of bidding on his own auction and pretending like the sale didnt happen cuz his other acc is “a scammer”. why would you leave that kind of feedback with a positive face? probably will just relist and do it again until he gets a higher price 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted May 31, 2020 Very odd. Is this why so many cars are selling for obscene prices, eg 130k Honda Integras and 100k Supras? haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 932 Report post Posted May 31, 2020 This whole sale process has a been a joke. If he hadn't been a dick he would have had his 16k from me. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And to further murkify the water around the $16K auction, Shaguar1 who asked for his bid to be removed has a couple of E34's that are a magnitude rarer than the kiwi 540iS's, so he might have been legit? I stand by my statement that the top bid was a shill bidder on behalf of the seller however. Edit: Of course the new $24k price is a knee jerk at the immaculate black 535iS going for moonbeans, yea?

Eagle 1679 Report post Posted August 25, 2020 If memory serves he always wanted ~24k in past auctions. The problem is no one wants to own it for that so he appeared explore other 'tactics'. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
