Not realy. You could have 100 watchers. It all comes down to bids mate. The bidding realy starts towarss the end of the auction. Last 5-10 mins

15 isn't bad depending on the item.  If there's lots of similar items then it's nowt but if you're selling something unique or rare then that many people will normally equate to a decent sell.

But as mentioned,  it's all about bids and the last 5minutes mean everything especially these days.  Gone are the days of people placing their maximum bid days before the end of the auction. I very rarely bid until the last 15seconds or so.

You can always just pass the car onto a good friend or family member that will cherish it. People are having difficulty selling really good cars (such as yourself). Older cars are money eaters...and unfortunately aren't valued by most people.

Rarely do you get what you want price wise on ebay. Everyone wants a bargain. Good for buying, rubbish for selling. My last mk3 had 150 watchers and ended up at a grand below its reserve.
