Friend said he'd give me first refusal on his car when he came to sell.
Have now just been told it's on ebay, instead. Hmm. Seems a bit douchey.

You should tell him he's a cunt.

I don't really know if I have grounds to be annoyed or not.
They've obviously done it because they think they can get more money from it that way. Apparently by asking me to bid against other people.

I feel like I should be annoyed, but it is their car, after all.

He does sound like a right Al.

Unless he's put on Ebay
that he's offering it for sale elsewhere, then he's a cunt.

Well, they didn't say "we've chucked it on ebay, but give us a reasonable offer and it's yours"
they said "we've put it on ebay, here's the link". The clear implication being that I should bid on it against members of the public.

Or he wants you to shill bid the price up.
Sounds like a cunt either way.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 18 Apr 2013, 15:37, Reply)

It does sound pretty self-serving.
Which is fine, I guess. I won't be bidding on it, whatever happens.

Out of interest what car was it?

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 18 Apr 2013, 15:43, Reply)

An old Golf GTi. I'd pretty much talked myself out of buying another one anyway, to be honest.
I'm all about the Gen 1 Celicas at the moment.

why are celicas so cheap at the moment, and cheap to insure?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 18 Apr 2013, 16:18, Reply)

I think you should probably have a little cry about it.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 18 Apr 2013, 15:38, Reply)

One out of four cries is appropriate

( Kroney, Thu 18 Apr 2013, 15:40, Reply)

Which presumably means three out of four is not.

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 18 Apr 2013, 15:45, Reply)

that's a bit nasty,
Unless of course he said you could have firstvrefusal while pissed in the pub as a joke.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Thu 18 Apr 2013, 16:17, Reply)

Three times between last October and February.
Clearly still remembers as they messaged me specifically about the car.

My nose is a little out of joint, if I'm honest.
