    huh? :confused:

    Do you mean it was sold to someone else? ;)

    Or just withdrawn as 'sold'. And if it's 'sold', can it be re-sold?

    Or did you win it? :confused:

    I'm still laughing about it to be honest :D (Only because I have to be careful with commas and full stops. I have to check everything I bid for just in case I spend 2K on something worth 2p!:rotfl: )

    seller probably sold the car outside ebay, changed the listing once the car was sold to get a reduced listing fee (original list for £2000, dropped to 2p may have warranted a refund of £x).

    Thanks supernudger. I think I understand now :)

    The story intrigued me, and caught my eye because I've just found out that a close family friend sells cars on eBay!

    He must be mad - or rich :D

    If that's what the seller was doing he deserves to be caught out. I can't work out how people are clever enough to work out that they can get a refund of fees by reducing listing price, but can't work out how to close an auction to protect themselves against a bid!

    Interesting thread though and a good spot by the OP.

    just got a abusive messege from the seller asking what the hell was i doing? can i not see that the title says it was sold 9 times? huh? and that if i was gonna give him a negative feedback he will give me one too. (touchy!)
    I told him i did'nt think i could get a car for 2p anyway and why was this still advertise if this was sold anyway? but can i have a good feedback? (cheeky!) and the same in return. :D
    oh well, at least i tried.
    I was thinking how should i pay the 2p if i got it last night.
