Good luck. Getting the bus over would be more expensive than the car.

yea the car is not exactly the best thing but would have been a ultra bargain for 2.20 lol

Surely if you bought it through Buy Now or even $1 reserve then the seller has to go through with it,pretty sure its a legal binding contract.

If it's a dollar reserve and you offered over that , don't they have to sell at that price,being the highest bidder !

Honest mistake, don't have to sell at that price.

If you make an honest mistake and the buyer knows that it is a mistake then no contract. And by starting this thread the buyer showed that he knew it was a mistake.

So is this a new thing on tm, sell n if it does fetch price you expect, pull out and claim it a genuine mistake.

Thought that sale was binding if you screw up the price its the sellers problem this is an auction site if your car only makes $2 too sad its sold

Geez guys, it was an honest mistake, any fool can see that.The seller has no legal obligation whatsoever to go through with the deal.The buyer knows that and did not expect to actually own the car for that amount.

that could be said about any one dollar reserve deals then. Greatv way to attract attention to your listing.

I think $2.20 is a good price.

Not to put decimal point after 2200 is one mistake, 220 another, and 22 yet another and one more for not checking again, that's quite a few mistakes there.

Good score, ha ha.
On my other trademe account I got a $1000 amplifier that was listed at $1 reserve but had a buy now of a $1 too (mistake) and I thought what the hell, I'll press buy now for a laugh. Guess what! The bloody thing turned up!
I tried to offer more for it and even said re-list it because I thought it was a mistake but the joker said no, fairs fair.
I recall not long ago this happen on a BMW or a Merc from a car yard and they went through with the sale. I read it in the paper.

Make sure you give them bad feedback.

That was a well orchestrated publisity stunt. They got fantastic media coverage which was worth way more than the car. Good on them.

Not worth it as they will give the buyer back feedback too.
