Selling your car online

Deserate to sell your car online?

Check out DesperateSeller.co.uk to easily sell your car on the web


If you’re looking to sell your car online Desperate Seller .co.uk is arguably one of the best car advertising websites on the net.

Their unique service allows car sellers to advertise their vehicles on a massive 100+ car websites within minutes. Established partnerships with top advertisers such as Whatcar, Carsource, Fish4 and Friday-Ad (to name a few) has enabled them to offer the “Ultimate Car Advertising Package”.

The DesperateSeller.co.uk innovative service has enabled them to grow into one of the top 5 largest classified websites on the internet.

The sell-your-own-car service is extremely attractive for any visitors who are looking to either buy or sell a car especially as DesperateSeller.co.uk only charge £29.99; that’s got to be a bargain!?

DesperateSeller.co.uk desperately need to spend some money on the web site styling though – it’s just horrible! Looks home made in fact. They need to employ a decent graphic dsigner and web developer to strip the site apart and make it look more pleasing to the eye at the very least. Sounds harsh, but when you consider they’re helping pitch your car to millions of people they coudl at least get their own site looking professional, maybe using more than just blue, black and white…

The site is easy to use, and listing a car quite easy – I just can’t get over how little investment DesperateSeller.co.uk have made in their number one route to market! Loose the annoying pop up window for starters – who told them that was a good idea! Even though I thought I was running the latest version of Firefox, I kept getting missing plug-in messages as well

Anyhoo, enough of the slating. Selling my car online was a right pain, as I was listing on dozens of different sites. This though at least saves time, and lists on hundreds! If you’re askign your self “where can I sell my car online with the least hassle” this is it. Just gloss over the naff web site and you”ll be fine.

Where to buy radio controlled car toys

Reviewing the Hamleys web site for car toys


Visit the exciting NEW website from Hamleys and choose from thousands of the latest toys, including all your favourite brands as well as our own Hamleys car toy collection, their quick and easy web site takes the hassle out of shopping, the Regent St experience has all the magic of Hamleys including competitions and a fun monthly newsletter. Welcome to the home of the finest toys in the world…online!

The Hamleys web site is very colourful, but technically not that good; there’s loads of javascript and mouse over effects which get a bit tiresome. Once you understand how to navigate around the site, finding rc car toys and general car toys is quite easy (follow the Vehicles link), and the listings page fairly uncluttered.

The Radio Controlled Range Rover car toy is a good example. The product image is big, there’s a nice nice and rotate feature however it is a bit thin on detail, although the pricing of the r/c car toy looks ok.

I’m quite sure if I was 10 years old again, looking for a radio controlled car toy, I’d love this site – it feels like the London shop too.

Generally then, the Hamleys store is ok, even if looks wise it is a bit behind the times. You can quickly find car toys, the menu flyouts are fast, the product information easy to read, and adding to cart (’bag’) / the buying process quick.

Top Gear Magazine Subscription

Car Magazines and more from Unique Magazine


At Unique Magazines, they work with all the major publishing houses giving you a one-stop-shop for a vast number of car magazine subscriptions. Unique Magazines have over 1000 titles on their web site so there are magazines to cater for all types of audiences. However, unlike many 3rd party subscription agents, Unique Magazines also list titles from many smaller and relatively unknown publishers which is nice, and have developed a range of subscriptions not available anywhere else including Take a Break magazine and many children’s comics.

Most recently, Unique Magazines have also added a range of car magazine products which compliment the magazine titles we have on the site. For example, books, annuals and calendars. This proves hugely popular at special occasions such as Christmas, when customers will buy a magazine subscription along with a calendar or annual to give on Christmas day.

The Unique Magazine web site is laid out in three columns and is a pretty standard set up; the only negative comment woudl be the changing header banner colours – from black to red – which is particularly annoying.

Magazine ‘deeplinks’:

Mens Lifestyle | Zoo, FHM, GQ, Nuts, Loaded, 442 …
Sports & Outdoors Mags | Footballs, Motorsports, Running, Darts …
BBC Mags | Top Gear, Who Do You Think You Are, History, Countryfile, Good Food …
