Cos if he had no reserve he pays charges on whatever it finishes at...so potentially he loses out by selling cheap and having charges..or he refuses to sell and still has to pay charges.
But he has got a reserve so potentially he wont lose out.. he will just pay charges for not sellin it... which im presumin they would be less than if he did sell it.

No...if it doesnt meet the reserve theres no charges. I think he's being sensible..thats a nice motor and should fetch a good price...why risk it getting a last 30 second bid of 1800 or something daft. If it was a tatty 90 fair enough..let it run...but not something on a galv chassis with a winch and all the toys.

If the reserve is to be set at £3500 and the starting bid is £3000 I'm pretty sure you would get less watchers / bidders than if the reserve had remained at £3500 but the starting bid was £0.99.
I think the eBay fee's would be the same either way?

No doubt its a nice 90 but galvanised chassis or not I would say it'll make 3K to 4K max.
Its a truck cab less desirable I believe for people spending that kind of money. as a comp motor they fetch occasionally 5K but they are specced up with lockers competition log booked roll cage £1000's of poundsworth of shafts cv's tyres etc and still only make £4 - £5K.
Its not by any means putting the motor down but its only worth what people are willing to pay and my best guestamate which could well be way out but still my guestamate would be 3K to 4K on a good day.
All you can do is try it and see what people are willing to pay. Good luck Chap!

well i sometimes know what im talkin about
How? Did you guess the value of the 90..er no. You thought the starting price was high...but anyone who knows anything about landys knows that his 90 is worth more than 2500...I cannot see what you think you were right about? You think he should have started at 99p? Would you risk selling a 90 worth 4k for 99p? He didn't want to risk that so he set a high starting price and (unrealistic) reserve...but thats up to him..when you've bought and sold a few landys then maybe your opinion will be worth listening to.

tidy looking motor - what i can see of it .....
the side photos were taking with the sun on the wrong side of you and makes the side of the vehicle black - would be nice to make out details - looks like you have something to hide when you cant see

Was thinking the same - the pictures are shocking.
Why when selling a £3k plus vehicle and particularly an old LR no big pics?
Pics need retaking in the correct light that show detail and 12 of them.
You have not got a snowball in hell of getting what you want for the truck off that listing.
