Prices on Ebay, Autotrader ETC.....

Excuse my ignorance, but what is wrong with the prices on the auction sites?
I have been watching quite a few Landies on Ebay, Pre-loved, Auto-trader etc for a while, and a lot of the same stuff keeps going around.
I can`t see anything wrong with the vehicles (as much as you can tell with pix and description) and the prices don`t seem to be to way out.........
I know that most are dealers cars, but some of the private sales are just as much, if not more.
Lets say for instance, that one of the Landies falls with in my search criteria, would it be too wrong to go and buy one of these? Is there a particular reason that a perfectly good one does`nt sell cos its maybe £500 more than another?

Thanks

If its what you want and when you get there it's good. Obviously if you have to bid then bid what it's worth to you. Not what it might actualy be worth. I'd happily pay too much for somthing if it either makes my life easyer. Or it take that bit extra to get what I want

That's funny, cos that's just my outlook too.
I've lost too many things by trying to save a few quid.
I just thought it strange that a lot of good looking Landies just keep going round and round...........

Thanks

The thing with Landies though, unlike ordinary cars, is that firstly, they can look pretty tidy in a photo or on a sales pitch, but rotten to hell underneath when you have a proper look, but equally a solid Landy can have poor paintwork yet still be a solid vehicle, but the pictures put people off.

Because all too often when you go to look at a vehicle it isn't 'in very good condition, first to see will buy' it's a heap of crap.
Some will deliberately lie when you phone them, I can only assume they think that if you turn up you'll buy it anyway.
Went to look at a Peugeot some years ago, the seller assured me that it had no body damage - having been made fully aware that if it did I wouldn't buy it. Nearside looked like it had been used for target practice on a golf range. I was amused to see that after a 'discussion' several other people who had been looking at his other offerings followed us off his pitch.
