MY FIRST TIME SELLING AT AN AUCTION! ANGLIA CAR AUCTIONS

[@markbrisbane8929]

Another cracking video ! Nice to see the process from start to finish keep up the great work Mitch 👊🐝

[@Bob-_-Smith]

T4 is my favourite model, love the look of them. Wish I’d known you were selling I’d have bought that for 3 grand and the reason is because you would have made sure it was running spot on.

[@stevenhull5025]

I would of paid £4000 plus. Exactly the model I have been looking for.

[@Mk2Mitch]

I loved that T4, was a great van to me & I changed quite a few parts mechanically too! Next time I come to sell one of my motors I will definitely put the word out on KZbin first 👍🏻

Thank you pal! Appreciate the comment 😎👍🏻

[@Badboyrich1982]

I think you done alright on the t4 mate :) hade some fun, made some content, made some memories:) an got ya money back:) well done 👍🏻

[@Mk2Mitch]

I agree mate! Thank you for the nice comment 😁

[@matthewgodfrey5292]

Great video Mitch. We all know you're gonna buy another car before long 😂😂 glad the Camper went to a good home. Interested to see what the 2 go for when you sell them. That van will fetch a few G's for sure.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate, I’m sure I will buy another soon…🤣 Will be videos of both vehicles as and when they sell!

[@richarddinning6901]

As always mitch great content your a master behind and in front of the camera 📷

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you! With every video I try to improve and make the episodes more professional. I’ve also just purchased a new camera which will create even better quality videos 😎

[@stevielegrand]

Good news, Mitch, that you found a good buyer, even though you made a small loss overall. Onwards and upwards to the next victory!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal, appreciate the kind comment! 😁

[@micktuck5377]

Interesting video seeing the auction process unlucky on the loss but you’ve had fun out of it that’s worth more than money Mitch

[@Mk2Mitch]

Glad you found the auction process interesting! A few need to go from my collection and we just didn’t use the camper enough to warrant it saying 👍🏻

[@FriendlyFecker]

Get that Mk2 on the road and you won’t need another car! You’ll miss the camper I reckon when show season comes around again. Keep up the great vids!

[@Mk2Mitch]

That’s the plan mate, I’ve found a whole lot of new motivation for the Mk2 project 😎 Yes, the camper will certainly be missed especially with overnight stays at shows! We don’t mind camping though 🤪

[@nickwhitney1534]

Great video Mitch. Good explanation of everything.👍🏻

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you Nick! Glad you enjoyed the video 😎

[@NeilCoatsworth-z7v]

Hi Mitch what a fantastic video I always been interested how you put a car through action thank you for sharing your experience with us I am clad you got what you wanted . Can't wait for next video

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal, I’m glad you found the video interesting! 😁

[@T4TipsGuides]

Just out of interest, did you have the option to take the T4 back before they did a deal with the buyer?

[@Mk2Mitch]

Yes I did & I had planned to pick the camper up on the follow Wednesday evening! However that morning Guy, from the auction rang me up to say they’ve sold it and not to waste a trip up 😁

[@karlgt9989]

Well done mate, you did well there, the market for campers has hit a cliff at the moment, been trying shift my T5 for 12 months and the market isnt there so well done for getting £3k. Looking forward to seeing what you get next once you have shifted the other 2

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate, good to see a realistic comment and I’m sorry to hear you’ve been trying to sell your T5 for so long! Overall I’m happy with that price, many people saying I could’ve got loads more or loads less but I’m not greedy and I feel it’s a fair price 👍🏻 Best of luck with your T5 sale.

[@archiebaldock5488]

Great insight Mitch on selling at auction👌👍👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed this insight 😁

[@peterlee44]

Mitch great video as always actually saw the T4 in the auction The market is flat and as been for a good 12 months so its a buyers market and not a sellers market but a stroke of luck to sell afterwards

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal! Yes I got lucky but very happy in the end 😁

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Plus you had some short holidays and fun ,great video

[@Mk2Mitch]

That’s very true! Thank you 😁

[@graemew7001]

I did see it going through on an YTer's channel as I said before, so pleased yu got your reserve for it as £1900 was nothing for it. Yes, it will have cost for the interior to be done but even taking that into account, you had great fun with it and it'll have been cheaper than hotels overall so you and Lauren didn't lose out in my opinion.

[@johndawson8806]

mttch i know this is for youtube content but think you would have done much better as a private sale maybe £5k in my opinion and a small cooker unit would have made it pop ? just my opinion mitch. also why give companies money when you could sell yourself? not trying to moan its just you are very good at what you do and anyone would buy off you with confidence

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi pal, thank you for the comment. Yes I could’ve potentially got more selling private but with the camper I wanted to experience and record the auction process. With the next vehicle, I’m going to sell privately and see how smoothly that goes 😎

[@dealermike1331]

Personally i see that T4 at £3,500 to £4,000.. auction hammer at under £2,000 is harsh.. great video though. Mitch your mk6 escort van, will that be going into auction also ??

[@paulriggers1558]

@@Mk2Mitch do you really think they are going to let us drive on the road when we are not paying road tax, or MOT, and getting cheap insurance ? Petrol will become a rare commodity, so price will massively rise. Pay per mile will be emission based, emissions were checked on every service in the 80s, so limits were known then, this data will be used against us. the conservatives always were a classic car friendly bunch, because a lot of them owned the really expensive ones, so lobbying from inside watered down any legislation, whereas labour want you to get a bus or cycle, no cars for the poor people... free car tax was introduced on all 25yo cars, but in 1997 this was abolished when labour took power. they also introduced a £1000 [£2300 in todays money] fine if you forgot to register vehicle off-road [sorn] every year, my brother was a victim of this... in 2015 the conservatives re-introduced free car tax, but with a 40yr rule, and sorn was changed to a one off lifetime form. old people like me, who have worked hard , own property, and saved up, are the people who buy expensive classic cars, but we are getting shafted, and personally as a landlord, it will become impossible for me to make any money, our pensions will be taxed more [yes you pay tax AGAIN on the money you have saved up], and we will not be allowed to cash in our pensions [ie the car money] without horrendous tax bill, designed to stop you doing so... this will cause a trickle down effect, we are already starting to see this in the prices [and the amount of cars unsold] at auction bet you wished you never asked...

[@Mk2Mitch]

I didn’t technically loose any money and especially not £1500 worse off. I won’t go into too much detail but many of the parts were gifted because they were showcased in advertisement campaigns. I also make some revenue from creating these videos for KZbin too. So as mentioned at the end of the video, I broke even 👍🏻

im guessing this video is "sponsored" by the auction, considering the videos you do for them!!! otherwise with fees you could have listed that privately as with auctions its whos there at the time and a limited market. if you had sold private for £2650 you would have made more than auction excluding fuel etc. excluding content it created and experience.

[@Mk2Mitch]

Hi, your “guess” is wrong. This auction has NO sponsorship or input into how I create these videos. I wanted to make this video as genuine/transparent as possible, that’s why I explain the fees at the end 👍🏻

[@rotavator9441]

Why would you put it in an auction. You should have known better, private sale = a lot more £ 🙈 Oh, hang on. I like your way of thinking. Auction company gets publicity (you get payment) and KZbin payments. Very clever

[@Mk2Mitch]

Your comment is false, I do not get any payment from the auction at all. In fact this auction house has never paid me for any of my KZbin videos and I do not expect them to. Yes I do get ad revenue from KZbin, just like anyone who creates videos on here 👍🏻 The aim of this video is to show people a genuine member of the public selling at auction. I was happy with the end price and I have shown viewers what it’s like to sell at auction, simple 😁
