One sold yesterday on eBay for just over £2400...

That was mine. Went for £2499. Loads of interest but it did have a rather special top. 

How much were the fees? Hope you got a £1 listing. 

Yes £1 listing and about £80 PayPal fees. I also offered free courier so received about £2380 in total which I’m quite happy with.

Sorry hyperben how come so happy? You’ve lost £119

Or he's made £2380. Glass half full and all that. @hyperben do you mind me asking what caused you to sell your R8s off so quickly? Just didn't bond with them?

Twinfan

He's swapped them for R9s...

No, he's paid £119 to rent an R8 for a few weeks

I've been sorely tempted by one or two of the GG R9s until I sat down and had a word with myself.

You’re not the only one

Oh hello! 

8Ib 6oz so that’s bang on 1Ib lighter than the last one I had in the basket and a nicer top 

Twinfan

Classy

This is correct. And I also didn’t bond with them that much. I’m happy because I’m not that bothered about losing £119 as it enabled me to get the R9s I wanted. If I waited much longer I would’ve missed out on them. I got the R9s for less than £3499 so saved there. Swings and roundabouts. To get my money back I’d have to of asked £2599ish. Who’s going to buy at that price? Also wanted to sell the R8s before an influx of them on the classifieds/eBay. It would’ve been better for me if the R9 sale happened first.

How did you bag a further discount on £3499?

Clearly had some compromising video footage 

Twinfan

Didn't take finance and asked for a cash discount...

Haha. I just talked to the dealers and negotiated a price. I didn’t use 0% and instead paid outright.

Was it GG?

Lebarque

Not sure what it is, but Lenny Kravitz was playing a tasty-looking LP at Hyde Park. (Apols for potential thread derail)

roberty

Looks like a fade rather than a burst?

I did manage to knock them down a few weeks ago but didn’t get one from them in the end. I know others who’ve tried to knock them down since and they wouldn’t budge though
