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 👍🏻

[@davidrix804]

In my opinion Mitch,you done well,you enjoyed the t4,good luck with your new projects🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🍺🍺

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal! Appreciate the comment 😎👍🏻

[@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 😎

[@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!

[@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 👍🏻

[@guy4469]

Has GUY adopted you now ,,,,,,,Insurance i hope this helps people out this works ,I rang up for a quote for my BMW E38 The girl said £980 fully comp i just couldnt do that at that price ,So i rang back 2 days later and said vauxhall corsa please she said £375 fully comp so i went ahead with that ,Then 3 weeks laiter i rang back again and said change off vehicle please its a BMW E38 ,she said thats a bit bigger it will be an extra £125 ok thats fine ,So in total i paid £500 fully comp for my E38 . it works .

[@Mk2Mitch]

He’s always very helpful and welcoming at the auctions! Great tip for insurance! I’m not 100% sure if that would work every time but I have changed vehicles over before and been surprised, sometimes even getting money back! 😆

Great insight Mitch on selling at auction👌👍👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

[@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.

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Plus you had some short holidays and fun ,great video

[@Mk2Mitch]

That’s very true! Thank you 😁

[@davecoleman7431]

Mitch I thought the v dub was Worth much more than the selling price They go for silly money Love the change mate 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

It could’ve made more but that’s an auction for you! You never know what they’re going to make 😆 Cheers pal, a little switch up of vehicles to make room for more…🤣

[@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 😁

[@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.

Mitch is about to get non stop offers for the escort van and that sweet red feastie.....thats a classic.

[@Mk2Mitch]

They’ve certainly begun 🤣

[@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 😁

[@georgemorrison6689]

I think you could have sold the T4 privately, looked the dogs mate you should have put a bid on it 😂, Great result mate pleased for you, luck has got nothing to do with it you can't keep a good man down 👍

[@Mk2Mitch]

Thank you pal, yes I could’ve sold privately but I wanted to show viewers the auction selling process and will possibly show different auction houses in future 👍🏻

[@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 😎

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

That was actually quite a nice old Van she’s done well to get a van that nice for that money . I’m actually in the market and after an escort van Mitch but I can’t find a nice one yours looks pretty tidy is it good underneath? I might be interested depending on the price of course? Cheers J

[@Mk2Mitch]

Cheers mate, yes I loved that van but glad it’s gone to a good home at a sensible price! I’ve had lots of messages regarding the escort van, I will be creating another video soon and that will include a buy it now price. Will be first come first serve 😎

[@nimal1153]

Should have sold this on Facebook market place. You would have gotten alot more for it.

[@Mk2Mitch]

That’s a great option but I wanted to show viewers how to enter a classic into auction! I also saved any hassle from tyre kickers, wasting my time 😆

[@fourQQ]

Yeah next time you're selling a vehicle tell us on here , id of paid 3500 easy

[@Mk2Mitch]

I will do that for the next few I sell! I wanted to show how to enter a vehicle into auction and create this video. Hence why I didn’t advertise it first 👍🏻

[@jacklifeonwheels]

Fees should be free for your advertising

[@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 ??

[@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 👍🏻

@@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...

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 😁

[@matthewwiddows6319]

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 👍🏻
