corrie.kuilder Posted March 22 Share So it being Friday and all, who else is getting super low-balled by Webuycycles? They are seriously irritating with their stupendous offers, and it makes me wonder if anybody can take their offers seriously.

Rowl Posted March 22 Share Their standard approach is to offer half from my experience, and rounding down. Wanted to tell them to go jump, but not worth the effort. DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash (and convenience) is king. However, don't call me, I'll call you... babse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro Posted March 22 Share Same principle as webuycars. Sell quickly at a low price. Convenience comes at a price I guess. Not for me thanks. BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingZA Posted March 22 Share They're about as irritating as cold calling salespeople and "Is it still available" mense. Thankfully all of my adverts expired this morning so you can't troll me with an "Is it still available" message until I repost them OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is webuycars actually pays fair value, just sold 3 cars to them and all except one were done at more than the dealer trade in offer.

thebob Posted March 22 Share I made a suggestion to admin that we have an option to select when placing an offer to specify whether or not "trade buyers" are welcome to make an offer on an item. Could help mitigate this issue somewhat. But yes, I got a pathetic offer from them for my Giant Revolt. Sold it shortly afterwards for my asking price to a very happy buyer BigDL, Kom and Rowl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted March 22 Share that’s their model, and the same as all the “webuy” type businesses be they motorcycles, cars etc. offer low sell high. It’s a business after all. Facts are that bicycles depreciate faster than any other vehicle. Just crazy Butn highlights the actual cost of producing a bicycle.

Had a family friend sell his car to WBC when he bought a new Polo GTI. WBC paid him way more than VW's trade-in offer. BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had mixed experience with webuycars. Yes, re old vehicles, otherwise GetWorth comes out best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
