Hi Steve,
First of all excuses for my late reply, I am a working class hero and I
can't get on the internet at work. Secondly I want to congratulate you
with your new banner. I am a great fan of Michel Vaillant and I have
plans to make a Panoz in the same colors as the "Leader" one in the
movie. Still need to find a Peugeot to make the Vaillante. Did you know
there was a racing team that used the Vaillante name? So no excuses for
carrera to make a Vaillante!
Well to answer your question. Normally you put in a bid, when this is
done you'll get an email from marktplaats to confirm your bid and after
confirmation it is placed. The seller can decide to wait a little, to
accept your bid or not to sell at all if he thinks the bid is to low.
So it's no bidding site like ebay but you can compare it with a real
market. Actually sometimes one can wait until hell freezes over!
But you can always send an email to the seller asking him if he's ok
with the bid and when he's deciding to sell. Or you can call him if he
has left his phone number with the add. If you (or another clubmember)
have difficulties with the Dutch language feel free to send me an email
and I will make the translation for you. I can read German perfectly
but my writing is poor that's why I write in English.
In this forum I have put two hints, one for Universal parts and the one
you were replying to. The universal parts are offered by only two guys,
so one could bargain with them but I don't know these guys.
The more than 160 cars that are put on marktplaats by Guus you can bid
on but you are free to call him. I asked him if that was ok with him
and he has no problems with that. The prices he asks are fixed prices,
so if you bid the price asked the car is yours. If you buy a couple you
can bargain about the price with him. So best thing to do is call! His
phone number is +31518 491602. I told him some german guys could call.
I am not sure about postage costs but I think it's about 8,75 euro for secured delivery up to 1 kilo.
And to ccoupefreak : no, it's not ricardo. (check out www.ricardo.nl yourself)
Greatz,
Henk
