Update

The car did not sell. The highest bidder was around £3500 but that’s not enough. One other guy who had been watching sent an email and he’s looking at a figure of around £3400. I am just not selling it that low, it’s the price for the car in terrible condition and I know I’d be selling myself short and resent it. When everyone who gets into the car loves it there has to be something good about it.

There is something else in the pipeline, I am not sure if it will come off or not but it would be really cool if it did.

What I have decided to do for now is to just not think about selling it again for at least another week, try and enjoy driving again and fill up the tank!

Someone made me really happy earlier just by thinking about me, someone who is thinking about me just because he wanted to and it makes life worthwhile when that happens.

I know others care too, Robin, Nick David, etc but occasionally a message of ‘I thought of you today’ from just about anyone is just so welcome. We don’t do enough of that I think, we just don’t call or write for no reason at all, with no ulterior motive and say hi, I thought of you today.

It’s going to take a fair bit to get me looking forward to anything though, this time of year is not good for me what with my birthday coming up on June 4th and I always hate my birthday just because I have had so many shit ones. Being broke right now is not helping of course.

I just keep telling myself, it will all work out OK and this time next year I shall be driving around with the roof down on my car and all this will be forgotten.

3 1/2 hours

That’s what is left on the car.

The figure currently stands at £2350.00. No one has bid in many hours, only 5 people have bid at all since the listing appeared.

There have been no messages since this morning and that was discounted as one wanting it for £2500.00.

No one has looked at it

In short, this car is not going to sell as far as I can see, we are back where we were the last Ebay listing, zilch.

I can give it two weeks on Ebay but then I may just have to cut my losses, pay for the repair to the Sebring and sell it, I really cannot afford both and if I can’t sell the C5 I have to sell the one that will sell.

How does that make me feel?

Like I don’t matter, like in the great scheme of things I am meant to be a giver, not a receiver. I know giving is jolly commendable but … well, enough said on that

I shall update just after 10:30 when the auction ends
