I have just had a thought: I wonder whether Rikvdub drops in to this forum to have a look as a guest from time to time? I doesn't matter of course, he would be welcome to read the comments, and might even take some of the advice.

He has an odd sales strategy at the moment: marketing the motor car at a fixed price on C&C whilst simultaneously conducting a no-reserve auction starting at £3,500 on eBay. I can't help thinking that says 'I'm just sticking my finger in the wind at £5,500, but I'll take £3,500'. Surely if someone was looking for an overpriced 30 year old cooking 240 with a few problems on C&C they would check out eBay at the same time (that is what I would do)?

I think we may see this one being advertised (certainly on C&C as he has already paid for the ad, maybe on eBay from time to time) for a while. I notice the motor car has been advertised on C&C since 16 November, so 6 weeks already, but the eBay ad is much more recent - perhaps Rikvdub is learning about the true value of 30 year old vehicles.

If Rikvdub is listening it would be nice to hear from him (cordially though).
