    Any ideas, other than the price, why it's not sold before my husband takes a 3hr trip to have a look at it?

    The auction has ended with no bids, wonder if he sold it via pre loved if not he might be open to offers maybe

    Some may have been put off by the roof bars looking bent but i think this is a roof liner that makes the bars look bent,the price would be a stumbling block,no matter what your opinion of the original awning i would expect one at that price,but after saying that its not too bad for a dealer price it would be that or more at riva,Its insulated and looks clean and i suppose the main thing to put people off is the price,if you would pay that price ask him to fit struts free affraid because it looks like he may need to drop the price again.

    Some may be put off by the roof bars looking bent? Are we not mixing it up with the Countrycampers one where the bars are bent?

    I think given the awning, the package is not a lot for quite a lot of money. Prices have fallen this year, I'd at least look for a set of gas struts added for that price.
    Dependent of if you think it will get bids and move up or not get bids I'd be looking at this. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

    Pity it's not on Preloved or Gumtree as well.

    Look at the skirts again. These look like home crafted skirts? Don't the original ones have a PVC flap heat welded to the sides so that water runs over the skirts and not behind the walls?

    Thanks guys for quick responses you beat the Mazda Bongo Forum. Someone's asking about a BIN price on the other ebay one with skirts.
    I'll keep watching or maybe haggle in Stoke.

    Sorry it's not pick at Mike night I've changed my own mind.

    There is the roof liner thing. I'd discounted that.

    There is the slightly fish eyed lens putting a bend on things.

    Yet when reading your bit I noticed the bottom right hand corner of this near the front of the seat.

    The "new" 750Kg suspension is the prize on that. If everyone has their eyes on the "Glam" of the skirts why not seek their oppinion about the skirts originality to dampen the ardour of the prospective bidders slightly?

    You have made me a bit over cynical now Helen but why have they waited until the day the old listing has dropped off ebay to relist it?

    found it, they didn't even go to view or collect the Dandy. They also haven't given any negative feedback for the buyer or received any .... I don't want to make anyone cynical just hadn't read the whole add but saw the pics and recognised it.

    they may have waited simply because they know it looks bad if re-listed but then again they mentioned that in the add scratch You get bad buyers as well as bad sellers, it's when a dandy continually crops up that you should be very careful so this could be a genuine case of a bad buyer.

    Having looked into there ebay history they are very active in the ebay Answers Centre, not something I would expect a scammer to be. They have posted for advice throughout there problems and apparently whilst a Non paying bidder dispute is open no feedback can be left.

    They sound like genuine sellers to me and someone may even get a bargain because of their misfortune with a time waster.

    Well here is the old listing

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


    Thanks to a lovely site called [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], very useful

    And just one last piece of investigation, the seller bought the following [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (Blue-Belle) and who would want to own more than one dandy??

    Oh go on one more. On the orginal auction a question is asked. The seller is a dandycampers reader!

    Q: Hiya we borrowed a dandy from a friend to see if we liked it and are now on a mission to find one of our own. Could you tell me the model? Need to check if my car would tow it as I know there are some bigger than others. Love her name too! Michelle x 15-Apr-12
    A: Hi there, We believe that she is a early Dandy Destiny and one of the bigger ones. This web address might help you to identify what your after. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] But for ease of reference from the site DANDY 6 Length excluding tow bar------275cm--9ft Length including tow bar------350cm--11ft-6inches Width---------------------------190cm--6ft-3inches Weight unladen----------------500kg Weight laden-------------------745kg Berths---------------------------6 In reality the trailer is very easy to tow and we've never had any problems even down tight and narrow roads Isabelle tracks the path of the car brilliantly. I hope this helps. Cheers.

    No awning. No kitchen unit but this 6 may be the right price. Norwich.

    She who spots everything, has missed something.

    Did you look at the interior?

    I've not seen an insulated orange Dandy before.

    Extra warm! On the browns and the blues when they offered winterising the wall part of the roof was not insulated.

    This will be insulated on all the sides.

    It looks like a nice little Dandy, in all honesty I just saw the awning and thought others would like to take a look at it, looks canvas but has the same two zips as a pvc awning.
