Just a quick story.....
I've been after a certain Audi for a while and one popped up on ebay.....so after a bit of haggling we agreed a deal..only hitch to the deal was I live in Devon and the car was for sale in Manchester.
So book a flight as it was £40 cheaper than taking a train and 3 1/2 hours quicker...so that was a no brainer!
(Flight got delayed by 2 hours due to a part malfunction)
The plane was a propeller job...never been on one before...quite disturbing sitting next to a huge cabbage slicer outside your window)
Anyway turn up at Manchester airport...matey picks me up in the Audi...all looking good, I take it for a drive..all.good....have a decent look around it....I'm all happy and say ok let's sign the paper work and I'll transfer the money straight into your account.
Then I get....".oh, well er ..you see I've been in contact with two other ebayers who are offering me more and I don't want to let the car go for what we agreed......."
Can you believe this????? In my book a deal is a deal!
Now bearing in mind I'm miles away from home..no idea where I am in Manchester..and it looked a rough area...I was kinda over a barrel.....plus I really wanted the car...but not enough to cut my nose off to spite my face.....
I walked around the car again..(spitting bullets under my breath) I said I would pay you £150 more....and I advised in very very certain terms that I strongly advise you take it! (Eyeballing a nice brick lying in the yard)
5 hrs later I was home with an awesome car.
Some people are right shits....!
