The problem with this deal is that the seller was so remote that the shipment costs were in the end almost as much as the bid itself. Granted he offered to send it to the nearest major centre but this was at my cost. Taking this into consideration and that I expected to cover the cost ex JHB the item would cost more than buying it in my own town, I responded to the SNC filed and this was acepted as reasonable but obviosly the seller expects me to purchase regardless of the hiden costs.
I got a quatation of R600 to ship the Hardtop (canopy) to Johannesburg. It couldn't cost more than that to get it to Durban. The bid was R3000. That bring the total cost to R4200. There is no way that you can buy an origanal aluminium Land Rover Hardtop for R4200. The cheapest fibreglass bakkie canopy would be around R5000. All I ask is: Think of the consequences before you bid on a item! Responded 29 Dec 2005
