Default Scoob should be gone soon

The auction has ended on Fleabay and the car sold for £3495.

Downside, the guy who won it is a newbie with 0 feedback

Should be interesting

To be honest mate, neither do I, but there was 5 watchers, so took a gamble that they would bid over

Oh well, we shall see

almost 24 hours since the end of the auction, and the guy still hasn't replied to me

I put in the listing that contact must be made with in 24 hours of the listing ends. Ebay rules say I've got to wait 10 days before I can file a claim to recoup my listing costs.

Just sent off an invoice - again and have seperately Emailed him basically asking if he's a genuine Ebayer due to the fact he's got zero feedback and looks like he's joined just to bid on the car

Lol, what a numpty!!

I think it's confirmed the bloke is a time waster, he has bought and paid for a pair of WR1 sun visors AFTER winning my scoob

Have written an Email to customer support explaining my concerns and in a nut shell said I've got to wait 7 days before I can claim back the Ebay fees.

The guy who bought my motorbike was a newbie with zero feedback so I thought I'd give people the benefit of the doubt, but next time, I will be cancelling bids.

Seen it done mate, the scoob looked a right handful At least with that, there's less drag through the transmission so more power to the rear wheels.

Not sure what to do, it's been on fleabay for almost 3 weeks, piston heads for 4 weeks and all I get from AutoTrader is scammers.

Was playing around with getting insurance quotes online earlier, and a so called modified car specialist Emodified quoted me £2300!!!!!! (All mods declared)

If I don't hear anything from the waster by next Monday, Moley will be getting a call to renew my insurance!

Does look in good nick, but going to keep the scoob for another 6 months when it should be a better time to sell, though my O/H still insists I keep it!! Plus I fancy a Jag XK8 or XKR now

Just spent over £100 on OMP Front brake pads, Mintex backs and handbrake shoes for the Scoob, also bought a K&N induction kit as it was too cheap to refuse!!

PiperCross induction kit up for grabs soon, if anyone is interested. (For Facelift MY'99)


Quick Reply: Scoob should be gone soon
