Ah well, I knew it would be too good to be true.

I phoned him up for the door & trunk seal, headliner and interior panels. I even showed an interest in the front clip to try and get a better deal. Right from the off, the guy was trying to get me into a 'phone auction' bidding against people that may or may not exist 'I've been offered ££ for those already, blah, blah'. I make him a firm offer, he says needs to check emails before commiting to sale. Wait for phone call back - nothing.
Call back sunday morning - he reckons he's had a better offer, would I go up £50? I say no, but will take 2 of the 5 items (headliner and panels). He calls me back 5 mins later - he's had a chat with the wife and the other bloke can't take the clip for 2 weeks - If I can take it sooner, he will accept my orignal offer. Then tries to offer me delivery for £60. I now no longer want to deal with him, but still want the panels and headliner, so give him a run-around of looking for a mate with a trailer. He also reckons he's got a pair of mirrors, with the remote control that I need.
1.5 hours later (what should have been a 25 min journey, damn motorway closures) I get there to find - The panels aren't as advertised - "I'm sure I mentioned there were 2 sets" "The best ones got snapped up straight away". The pair that were there were scuffed to hell and not even worth the asking price, let alone his 'I've been offered' one. Mirrors turned out to be one - the passenger one.
2 hours wasted and all I got was the headliner and door seals, and I ain't convinced that I've paid over the odds for them.
