Was just looking on eBay and found the following.....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9889&item=2476322476&rd=1

If anyone does get these then I'm glad I helped [^]

One of 'those' ebay items I suspect - bidding will be frantic and then suddenly the seller decides to withdraw it from sale etc etc

 

[Rally_Chris]

Mid you, I also saw the same seller has a set of Black/Blue Recaros for sale if anyone is looking for some(Foxy?) but it's not clear if they are 3 or 5 door models

my mate knows of a breaker who is selling 5 door leather recaros, they are from a 03 plate 4 motion - £700

PM me for more info (not email, PM!)

Something very dodgy going on there, 0 feedback plus paypal only? What if i preferred to pick them up and pay cash? Like i say very dodgy.

I've emailed the seller twice to ask that and got no reply.

I also asked if i could collect em and pay cash, no reply lol!! You'd be a FOOL to paypal this guy for the seats!

Also he is selling some 'full leather' astra G seats which are blatently half.

The photo's also seem to be from cars that don't really look damaged, no broken glass etc..

 

[Stewart]

Also, £25 postage???? LOL noway, based on volumetric size, that interior would be at least £80

 

[Stewart]

OMG, it just went for £1850! I put a bid in for £1900, thought what the hell so their reserve musta been 2k!

Feck, think ill just buy the front seats brand new at circa £590 per seat and get the rears re-trimmed!

I've emailed the winning bidder asking him/her to let us know how they got on...

If you bid £1900 then why didnt you win it?

There was no reserve on the auction and if the winner had bid more then surely the end price would have been £1900?

 

[Stewart]

it just ended as i was bidding..

Sorry, what i meant was that i was in a bidding war from £1250 and i was always outbid al the way till the biiding ended so im assuming that he's put 2k in as his reserve...

 

[Mikedav]

£1850!?!?! I may be the only one who doesn't actually like the R32 seats, but thats big money in anyones book. Id love to see how this transaction turns out, very dodgy and some poor bloke is about to hand over the best part of £2k.

Damn, a very nice setup as well [!]

 

[Chris]

Normally my broadband decides to slow up just as im putting in a last second bid on ebay! Unlucky Stewart []

The big thing i find with the R32 seats is the 'wings'..... shoulder support, for me anyway, being 6'2, makes a huge difference over my Recaro's.

 

[Stewart]

im not that bothered anyway, way over the odds if you ask me, be interesting to see whether the auction was genuine or not, im awaiting a reply from the winner...

Just followed that link Foxy...

Not good at all for ebay.......... I personally don't think it should be used.

 

[Josh_PoloGTi]

I use it if I REALLY want the item I'm bidding on... Especially if the auction ends at some silly time at night.

 

[oxford]

I just think it destroys the basis of what ebay is designed to do.... ie offer an auction on a level playing field. I can understand why it is used, however not sure if it is right! [] and don't worry I dont think less of its users!
