certain watches are good    quick profit      !!! 

Same as cars though , if you could even get a dealer to take a deposit for a Rolex sports watch you wouldn’t see it for years .

Supply and demand fundamentally and still plenty not feeling the financial pinch

But surely if someone has bought a top spec van, they must have paid 18k minimum for it. Why would someone then pay 60k, when they can buy a brand new one, for 65k ?

Madness.

Sorry, dont follow your logic, not sure where the £18k came from but he has purchased a brand new van with the dealer for £65k (not delivered yet), he has sold this slot to somebody who wants one and has paid him £105k to jump the queue, theres plenty of spare cash out there. (Yes agree it is madness but supply and demand and wads of disposable)

I've been using a long since obsolete software package called Quicken to manage my personal finances, I've just run a report on the 'Shooting' category 2008 (when I started to date), everything, lessons, guns, kit, carts, memberships, rounds.....£74,371....   still a lot less than I've wasted on cars though. 

wow that's a lot of money       yikes  !!

On the subject of vans we are talking camper vans not " builders " vans are we?

The 18k is an average figure for a used VW van, of a reasonably high spec.

I just don’t get why someone would pay that much over RRP, for something that aren’t exactly in short supply. I work in a VW dealership and have seen nothing like these kind of figures.

I have never mentioned any sort of used vehicle, still confused but lets leave it at that

He said earlier in the thread that it was a limited edition, only 100 made, so I'm presuming they've all sold, they're not making any more and this is no longer an option as a brand new vehicle let alone a second hand one if manufacturing figures are that low, a collector wants it, and they're willing to pay top whack to get one cos they missed out on previously. 

Doesn't seem that difficult to comprehend? 

Got a few guitars that are certificated as a Limited run of 12 or 24, and I know if I ever wanted to sell them it would be like shooting fat fish in a thimble! 

 

[ColinD]

Their all sold, or more likely a deposit taken for one I get that. but who's going to pay a dealer the full price for something he hasn't got yet, charliedog stating he paid 65k to dealer(full amount) then sells his slot on too someone else who's hasn't got a contract with the dealer for that van for £105k .

Now if he's got one of the 100 Limited editions now and then selling it on I get that

 

[El Spavo]

Not sure I follow your understanding, but had a mate's brother buy a Honda sports car (think it was a s2000 or summat?) and sold it to someone else months before it arrived for more money.

 

[ColinD]

Lovely sports car the S2000, can understand if it's the last of the production ones in 2009, and yes he probably made a profit, but doubt it was a 40k one

 

[El Spavo]

Yeah, think it was more in the 5-10k range, but still happy to flog it before getting it. Who wouldn't?!

Pompous oaf

You didn’t mention any sort of new one,in the post I replied to either.

But yeah, let’s leave it there Walter.
