    Not exactly difficult to check. See the attached images.

    Cars on demand used have a lot of motorcycle listings. Now they have zero listings, but a recently created account with the same name, location, and similar style profile/listings sells exclusively motorcycles. What do you reckon the odds are that change happened around August 2011, which was probably about when all the threads on here started?

    The way the auctions are run and presented seems pretty identical as well. However given the overwhelmingly positive feedback I'd say they've cleaned up their act at least a little, certainly in the motorcycle auctions anyway.

    Not hard to do your own research guys

    I plan to, buy the same crap and under cut him by 30% and I'd still pull a profit.

    hahahahaha I wrote my ute off and it was beyond wrecked. Chassis seriously twisted. Imagine my horror (and acute jealousy) when I was hemmed in by traffic and saw it all fixed up, and cruising the opposite way down the road.

    Yeah, you need to be careful - I had some dick giving me grief on an auction - his comments meant that I didn't sell a genuine bike (speedway bike - not the TL1000R listed at present). He raised so much doubt about something that had nothing to do with him.

    ....gross is the relevant word when it comes to tartans and kilts...like the girl who told the jock that wearing no underpants with his kilt was gross..."put your hand in their ,lassie", he said "and it'll gross some more"...

    Wow, so if you describe it now as a POS, you really mean it!
