Its like house prices isnt it, you are only benefitting if you are selling and dont plan to buy anything else.

Sold my old astra to them about 18 months ago, walked away with a touch over what the website said.
The trick is to book it in for last thing on a Friday night when it's raining and the kid in the cabin just wants to go to the pub

My neighbour said they got more than the website.
Did you haggle with them? My neighbour pretty much undersold theirs for the online valuation.
Capitalism for skilled workers that there are a shortage of workers out very well for the workers.
What I can’t understand from what I’ve discussed within the construction industry is why, to secure long term loyalty, the bigger boys didn’t treat people correctly in the good times.
I’ve got friends who are commercial managers for some of the international construction companies, they want QS’s. A good QS gets paid what, £50- £60k? Massive skill shortage, not one company will go out of their way to separate themselves from the pack in terms of what they offer, and yet claim they are losing millions due to not being able to run jobs properly. Makes no sense to me.
About right, ive had lambo birmingham, lambo leicester, lambo manchester, supercar sourcing, gve and tom heartly ringing up asking if id sell the AV. I can get out at what I bought it for and change on top.

It's very odd! I can't quite explain what or why this is happening to used market but I have expected the opposite when covid hit. And here we are!

It's way off for mine, probably at least 5k less than what others are on autotrader.
My M240 at 2 1/2 years old is being offered enough to just about clear the finance which is unusual for pcp at this point (its normally the third year in my experience) which opens up a world of should I jump ship and try something new.

Nope, I'd listed it with partial service history as I didn't have any paperwork for the last couple but she just looked in the book and as it was fully stamped it went through as FSH even though the book had filled up a good few thousand miles before I sold it.
I'm sure there was another couple of bits she massaged the figure with, maybe it was her last day and she didn't care anymore.

Pretty much this. Even old bangers like E60's are going for 5K+ which is just madness. I guess it will stabilise when things get back to normal. We were looking at 6 series GC but even 8 year old models are going for silly prices. Money will stay in the bank till everything gets back to normal.
They did offer me £150 for me GT-Four however

Offered me £5.9k for mine, versus £8k'ish equivalents are going for on AT/Ebay.
WBAC offered £7500 for my Golf last month and now offering £8000 today. Although as others have mentioned this excludes a ~£100 fee plus they haggle you down. I should be able to get 8-9k privately so trying that first.
Motorway are similar sort of thing but instead of your car going to auction, you agree a valuation with them then garages put offers in upto that amount and you pick one to accept (or none if not happy with the offers). There is no fee for this and the garage will come pick the car up as well. I used their app to get a valuation which came out at £8000 but they said £300 would have to come off for alloy repair (£100 - fair enough two alloys needed smart repair) and £200 for tyres that weren't needed. I could see where this was going so decided to try and sell private instead.
edit: Sold to a local garage who came picked it up, £8500 and done in 10 mins.

With motorway, it's not actually 'up to that amount'. I got almost £3k more than the 'estimate' when I sold my car with them a few months ago.
Yeh mine's PCP'd, settlement figure is around £6k less than what WBAC currently offering
Wish the guy I was dealing with said that as I would have carried on to see what they came out but was getting the impression at best I'd end up with what they put it in as.
