More than I'd be willing to pay for it. My level would be £4K5 max.

Since the seller pays a fee for every 'sale', I wonder how many times eBay will keep accepting their excuse of 'buyer didnt turn up', 'timewaster' or 'accidental bidder'.

If my maths are correct, that's now the sixth time it's been listed by the same owner! The question is how many more times will they list it before they realise that they won't get the money they're wanting.

If you are relisting the exact same item which in this case can be proved it's the same car then it should be easy to get your fees back.

£5k isn't bad for the spec if someone is looking to keep it. We know on here that the car was well looked after and there aren't many with that spec.

All good points but the seller is hoping/looking for something substantially more than £5K.
At £4K5 I could consider it.

This time the auction was for 1 day only, starting price £5k and no bids were made. It seems the seller ended the auction early. Perhaps to stop a last-minute bidder getting it for £5 as it seems they want more than that.

It might be worth messaging them an offer if you or anyone else is interested.

For a little over 6k you could have mine

The new family wagon is on its way and my new car is here now so the Audi needs to go.... she's been a fabulous steed (mostly I think because I've ensured a well respected independent has looked after the car and nothing skimped in terms of servicing)

I'd love to hang on and get what I think my A8 is worth but its a diminishing returns play.... she needs to go for what I can get now, not 6 months time.

If anyone is interested, no haggles, lowest possible price is £6k for a quick sale but there's no wiggle room at all in that (and I'm advertising for more elsewhere right now)

I'm uploading some pics to a Flickr account so will link to that in this thread shortly - would be nice to get rid of all the unrelated eBay posts if possible.... is that possible?

Cheers

Never thought about that, assuming of course that the seller has also posted negative feedback on the 'winning' bidders feedback page.

For £5k I'd buy it, considering I was trying to buy it when it was listed on here for sale at £9.5k in September 2017!
