just out of curiosity

Would you place a bid on a car without viewing it first.

I have at present 13 watchers ,no bids with 20hrs to go.

The car is on ebay for £800 which to me is still alot of money.I said in the listing you may view before auction ends but nobody has .

Are these 13 watchers likely to be just being noisy watchers or potential buyers.

    I'd want to see it. But there are people that would chance it.

  • i bought a car on ebay without seeing it first and everything was fine-it cost £4000.....i checked thru the guys feedback and he had brilliant feedback and ran a successful business thru ebay selling computer bits not cars......when we collected it, it was even nicer than the pics!!!
  • My other half has bought 2 cars on ebay without looking. Both haven't been all they appeared but they were both ok. Mind you if he gets the urge to buy another without looking at it, I will be taking 2 bricks to delicate parts!!

    Personally I wouldn't, but my Dad has sold a few cars and nobody ever came to look first.
