I can understand Ebay doing that - It's people "avoiding" fees by devious means 
that spoil it for the genuine ones; Ebay introduced a 10% fee on postage 
charges because sellers were listing items at £0.99 fixed price with £20 
postage, thus avoiding final sale fees. The other way to sell a car on Ebay 
(rather than pay a 10 % fee) is to go for a fixed price classified ad (I think 
it's £14.99), but if it doesn't sell the fee is still payable, rather than no 
fees by the other method if no sale - I don't know what time limit applies to 
the calssified ad sale, but it's certainly a lot cheaper (if you get a sale).

  I think though, that most people reading the club mag will already have a 
Quantum (or several).
  So really Ebay or similar is probably your best bet to advertise it to a 
potential new Quantum owner.
  You don't have to put it on an auction, just put it on at a fixed price and 
if need be you can reduce the price every week or 2.

  Just be careful if you sell it privately and cancel the listing as i believe 
Ebay can still charge you sale fees if they think it was sold as a result of 
the listing.
  Not heard of anyone actually having that happen to them but they did 
introduce a rule a few years back saying they could.

    Thanks Jim. As mag editor it was easier to put the details there, after all 
every member gets a magazine but not every member has internet access and looks 
at our site (I assume). I should put the car there as well, as soon as I sort 
out the text and some pictures. I really don't want to put this gem on eBay, I 
want it to stay in the club. It is a high specification car with 2 litre Mondeo 
and many other goodies included, not forgetting the four new tyres I had to put 
on after Stoneleigh when I discovered that the rubber had perished on all four 
existing tyres. It passed the MOT with those tyres because they were looking 
only for tread depth! all that for only £4,000! 


    If anyone wants the detailed spec just ask and I'll mail them a pdf.


    Cheers

      No response to my ad in Quantum Mechanics. I am trying to sell my very 
special H4 GTX as I don't have room for that as well as my 2+2 and the tin top. 


      Sadly an ad will have to go on eBay or elsewhere at a silly price. Why 
does nobody want such a lovely car? I wish I knew!


      Last chance to haggle for the bargain of the century.
