Hi all.
I am cleaning out. 10% discount to forum users that are "Full Members" & above.

I have a Nasco heater with EVERYTHING included. Ducting, Vents, a NOS optional control panel, firewall & front air inlets. Rare as & perfect.

Secondly, there is a NOS wagon rear tailgate material section. It is perfect & very hard to find, still in the GMH bag.

Goodluck if you bid.

Goodluck if you have a bid.

Hi.
I made a mistake people. The discounts apply to "FULL Members" & above. I think that starts at 50 posts. I just didn't want someone joining & not using the forum, just to get a discount.

I also have a "Wilsonia Gauge" that will be listed as soon as that fella with the expensive one finishes his auction.

Regards,
Rob J

I'm gunna have a crack at the tailgate material. Stay clear everyone!!

Emu

Does the discount apply to the ant-glare mirror?

Emu

Hi Emu.
Yes, all the stuff except the Norman. The mirror is bloody close to the reserve at the moment. I will give you a tip though, I paid $183 for it on Ebay 3 months ago.
Rob J

Rob
do we get 10%+ for bulk buying your stuff. I am thinking Jack Meyer and a little something to warm the car on these cold qld days.

Good luck with your sales and with any luck I might open the wallet and buy something.

Yep, 10% on whatever you buy, one or 2 items, it works out the same.
Jack's & Heater have 10% each, so the total together will again be 10%.
That heater will also blow nice cool air through your car on a hot QLD afternoon!!
Rob J

emu ewell need an anti glare mirror with an ugly mug like yours  the less glare the better
kiwi = emu advisor

Yeah Good Onya Kiwi,

I dunno what makes you think ya qualify as a beauty advisor!!!

Emu - Good looking Flightless Bird with a great body!!

Ha ha Boys.
Emu, I reckon it would fit beautifully for your head, but Kiwi, I am sorry to say, you might have to get 2, as having such a large head & tiny eyes, you would be pushed to use it.
Just my thoughts,
Rob J
(Tasmanian devil = Angry bastard, that will eat ANYTHING!!)

two flightless birds and an overgrown rat what a combo
dont forget kiwis have a longggg beak and in the wrong orifice can cause mega pain
buy the way kiwi- small head large body and still aint  as ugly as an emu


kiwi = pain in the arse to adversiries

I guess u New Zullenders have a different definition of Ugly!!

Way to go, Kiwi.
Don't forget, us Taswegians may be overgrown Rats, but we would eat you for breakfast, Beak & all.

But I do concede, that we make a very sad combo.  :-[

Honestly man, be careful with that beak!!
:o

Ahhh, now that was an auction.
Good try Matt (EMU), I was going for you to win, but that other fella must really want it!!
Regards,

Rob J

Yeh,

Was the other bloke any one we know?

He went hard. He's still done well though. It looked like a nice item.

Not something I needed, just something I wanted.

The tailgate fabric on the other hand........ oops I mean..... I really don't want that tailgate fabric.

Thanks for rootin for me anyway!!

Emu - Bird who couldn't care less about the tailgate fabric

Man.
What happened Emu? You got your feathery arse smoked, Again!! If I come across some more of that fabric, I will put some aside for you.
Rob J

Hey Rob,

I'm spewing!

I had to be out during the finish, so I put a max bid of just over a hundred and got snaked by that chappie for 104.

Maybe I was too optimistic

Yeah please keep an eye out. Ya have a buyer if ya find some. Now .... back to the other item.

I'll send ya a PM

Emu - bird too slow at ebay

Hi Emu.
Yes, they can be disappointing things, Ebay auctions that is.
I would be happy if the headers finished for what they are now, so I will give you a tip (secret, so don't tell anyone ;)).
What you need to do, is seriously think about your VERY top dollar. Forget about what you think you should pay, think about how much you want the item. Add in the time & costs associated with trying to track the part down through other sources (Driving to wreckers, time involved, phone calls etc.) then say, bugger it, I will bid this much.
Then, it is just like playing Poker. NEVER show your hand too early. If you do, the competition has a chance to think about their top dollar & place the bid.
You have to leave it to the last 60 seconds.
Then bang, put one bid on, your top dollar. Then sit back & see. If you miss out, then that is OK, as you went to your limit & didn't want to go over. On the other hand, you may find that you get it for a fair bit less that you expected.
But remeber, just because the auction only has 60 seconds to go & the item is only at $100, in that last 60 seconds, it can go through the roof. Check out the heater. $108 for about 2 days, then in the last couple of minutes, it hits $325. Don't make the mistake of thinking the item isn't going to go as high as you thought & placing a lower bid, if it is a rare item that usually sells for a good price elsewhere, it will on Ebay, do not doubt it!
Have a look at a few big dollar auctions & see when the last bids were placed. You will no doubt find that most were placed 60 or even 30 seconds before the auction ended.
I do it & do not mind if people do it on my auctions. People call it "Sniping". I assume that is derogatory, but hey, the "Sniper" always gets his target.

I very rarely miss out on an item that I really want, as I just pay the price to get the item. It hurts, but hey, I get it.

Goodluck in future.
Rob J

hey Rob,

Ta.
Sound advice.
Yeah I guess I normally follow that rough idea. I threw out my best bid on the mirror in the last few minutes and watched it go sailing on buy.

I wasn't able to actually be near a pewter at the end of the last one, so I threw out the bid early and went out. Came home and found an "Outbid Notice" in my inbox.

In retrospect, I think I was more disappointed than I thought, and that may indicate that I would've been prepared to pay more. So I should have bid higher before I went out.

Anyway, shite happens.

I'll put it down to experience and take the buggers down next time!!

Emu - Student of the "4 Hammers School of Ebay"

folks,

there's a book, just published, on how to get the most out of eBay, both as a buyer and a seller:

'eBay HACKS' by David. A. Karp (ISBN: 0 596 00564 4)

makes very interesting reading...there's even people out there who will do the 'sniping' for you, for a small fee (e.g. www.esnipe.com and several others) so you can sit back and let it all happen....

cheers, Jonno

Thanks al, that had a go. Don't worry, the money is going to a worthy cause. The Blown Copcar!!
Stay tuned.

4hammers & Emu,

I 'snipe' for items that I really want.  I learned the isea from the people that I bought my daughter's FE from - through ebay.  They mentioned it when I telephoned them for details (read many photographs) of the car.  After I thought about it for a bit, 'sniping' makes sense.  Put an initial bid in or 'Watch this item' then strike.  To me, the sense comes from keeping the buying price down, you don't give people time to react and outbid you.  Of course, you do need to do what 4hammers says about working out what your bid will be.

Cheers

Hey Guys
     Yea "sniping is the best on Ebay,   the other one at a normal auction , is a "shock bid"    , double the last guys bid , (as long as it's not over your budget) just before the Auctioneer drops the hammer.   Seen this done many times , the last business I was in before I left Sydney , was an "Auction Centre" in good old Blacktown , mainly liquidating Computer companies going bust , were lots in 1989-90.
