I'm with Richard on this one. These days (eBay veteran of, er, weeks  ) I just bung in what I'm prepared to pay for something and then it's great if I get it for less and I don't care if it goes for more than I was prepared to pay anyway.
Cheers,
Dave

BBT,
which one is it? I have just about every Scorpio brochure that I am aware of apart from the one I am currently bidding on. I have loads of German, French, Dutch etc. ones which are pretty good. I have a 1998 German brochure which has a great big picture of the Cosworth engine...........the one fitted to the Granada Scorpio that is!!!
Baz
the one I am after has a plain background in what appears to be beige with a rectangle in the middle.

Simon. It is all relavant my boy. I've just been to the pub where I drink water or juice all night because I don't drink a lot of alcohol any more because it makes me silly.
My mate spent about £20 odd quid and only had as much fun as me who only spent a couple of quid. I gave up smoking over a year ago and as such have more disposable income than when I smoked 40-50 a day so I buy things I like now and sod the price. My new silver Cossie sits proudly on the path next to my red one (for now anyway) and my brochure collection sits in my office on a shelf and gets read quite frequently.
I know my limits on Ebay (I've done it long enough) and the old adage of something only being worth what someone will pay is quite true and I will pay £26.00 for a brochure because I want to !!

I admit its annoying getting outbid at the end, so I now adopt the strategy of bid the max I would pay for the item on a single bid and if I get outbid it doesn't matter because it's gone to more than I would pay anyway.
Also by putting in one bid you don't need to keep checking on it to see if you are the high bidder because if you're not it has got too expensive anyway,
I think!

Yeah, but if you want the mudflaps, why should you not bid on them?
Just because someone else got there first?
Nah... you should be able to go for what you want no matter what anyone else says.

The collection is pretty much complete methinks. I have scanned quite a lot of them and intend to do the rest soon and then can offer to members if anyone wants one.
By the way, I've used snipe monkey for about a year now and not missed many things I have bid for. The only times I have was when the clock on my PC went mad and the auction had finished for 4 hours before it tried to enter my bid!! Something to remember!!

But baz I thought the whole point of ebay was to have an auction, people bidding against each other for what they think the item is worth, other wise we would all just have blue peter bring and buy sales and where would the fun be in that
Still im buying nothing else off ebay, I bought a scorpio dog guard the other week, proper ford one too, only when if arrived its for a Mk3 granada hatch, oh b****r.
Still it made the wife laugh at my expense
Nic
PS For Sale
1 FORD GRANADA HATCHBACK DOG GUARD BRAND NEW IN THE BOX, YOURS FOR A FIVER, BUT DOESNT FIT A SCORPIO ESTATE
