Presumably the eBay fees for listing cars are now too high to bother listing scrap cars individually.

Looks like he just wants shot in one go to one buyer to me. Don't blame him either - the thought of dealing with 9 different buyers all turning up and different times wanting to pay different ways for one of those would put me off.
If you deal in cars, even nice ones, it is amazing what you can end up accumalting up the back of a yard with weeds underneath. Looks like he has just decided to have a clear out.

I roughly know this location not too far from us. It is a private house I would guess where planning might be OK to trade in cars from home (even if not sought nearby folks might not complain) but would never be granted for dismantling cars and such activity would be likely to draw complaints. Could have had a notice served to remove them or just be a decent guy having a tidy up??

It costs £28 to sell a cheap car on eBay. So 9 cars = £252 of fees. I guess that he's not expecting to get (much!) more than £252 for the lot of them.

I have an EBay feedback of about 600... about 50/50 for buying and selling. However have not sold anything for about 9mths due to changes in their policies and fee increases this year which I don't agree with. However I have sold two cars in the past two years and been amazed at the response/prices. One was a car I'd have taken £150 for but made £500+, the other a £2k Discovery folks said I'd never shift but it made full market value... more importantly the seling fees were far more reasonable than other high value things I've sold.
Are their selling fees for say a £2k car still competative?

All I see on this ebay auction is 9 piles of scrap. It doesn't sound like there is a decent motor between the lot of them, well not without a proportion of work at least. In the current climate it is probably hardly worth weighing them in, hence the seller is probably hoping that someone will take them off his hands for a decent price and hence the buyer will be the ultimate loser out of this lot. Then the cars won't be the sellers problem any longer. There are plenty of mugs on ebay...

I did like this seller's other ad, for a Toyota van, where he says that "when collecting you would be well advised to bring a galleon of petrol"
That rules me out, because I have long since upgraded to carrying my fuel in a schooner.

He seems to have a thing about draining everything he touches dry of petrol...

I've heard of a sherry schooner but never a petrol one.

Comedy spelling apart I was amused by the list of stated negatives (don't know much about the cars, don't clean them, don't MOT them etc) which in a strange ebay way may appeal to certain buyers.
The Toyota MasterAce has a picture (with no comment) of leaked oil on grass... well that or his dog is *really* ill.
