It's a violation of the subscription T&C's for them to be given
away/sold on, even the old ones AIUI. I'm surprised Glass's don't
complain to eBay to have it removed. 'tho I suppose you don't see
them that often because dealers know their subscription will be
canceled if they are found out.
Have to say I'm not sure why Glass's is so well though of -
whenever I've seen a trader use one and had a look in myself
the figures don't seem to bear any resemblance to anything! I was
offered £1500 for a BMW estate a while back using the "Glass's guide
price" When I told the dealer I reckoned it was worth about £3000 his
response verbatim was "What, for that?!" Great way to win over a
customer! You can imagine what my reaction was. I sold it myself
privately for £3200 in the end
Now I know dealers have to make a
profit, but if I could get £3200 for it, I doubt he would have put it
up for less than £3500 which would have meant a £2k profit on £1500!
