Matt, I truly appreciate your assistance and direction ..... thank you !

Here is my question to Matt or V.L., or anyone else who has had positive car selling experiences on E Bay.
Regarding the deposit, which is due 24 or 48 hours, after the sale is final.
Does anyone or everyone state the deposit is non refundable ?
It would be my thought that a "non refundable deposit" would separate the actual buyers from the guys who are just playing games.
Your thoughts and experiences ?
Thanks.

Bernie ....... you are on a roll with your posts.
We need you to write an automotive column ........ you have made me chuckle today.
Thanks !

You know best, as to where and how you will proceed.
You certainly must know you have the friendship and support of those of us on this AACA forum.
Blessings to you, as you move forward.

Hey guys, I am very sorry if this disappoints anyone, but for reasons I’d rather not discuss, I am going to back out of the Discovery Channel Project. It just isn’t good for me right now.
I am sorry to hear this, V.L. Don't make a decision which you may regret, down the road.

I’ve sold several and it’s easier than the ones in person. Good info above. Also, be sure to put as is, where is, etc. I will message you a copy of one so you can get some verbiage ideas. just change it up some as it’s not my verbiage, but someone who helped me.
I like the deposit because it keeps people who might not be serious from jerking you around too long. Deposit in 24 hours or whatever and the balance in however many days.
Thanks V.L., I will look for your message. Thanks !

Thank you, trimacar and keiser 31.
Is it necessary to have a PAYPAL account ..... or can I just specify to wire the down payment ?

Any car I personally have sold, was done in person.
But now, with the Internet, our choices have become so vast.
Any inquiries I have had, regarding my '51, have been from long distance potential buyers.
I have received VALUABLE INFORMATION from all the AACA members here, regarding auto inspections and payment transactions.
For that assistance and input, I say "thank you".
I have not listed anything "for sale" on E Bay, but have made numerous purchases from E Bay.
Now, has anyone listed their car for sale on E Bay ?
If so, how did the E Bay experience of selling your car work for you ?
Thanks !

Very innovative ........ good thinking. Thanks for sharing.

I have read that about 1/2 of all truck sold have never been attached to a trailer.
True ....... at least with Chevy figures.

Again, the male connector is on the vehicle side, not the trailer side.
Let's move on.
The point is, with the red power / battery lead connected under the hood, the 12 volt wire is live .......... through the vehicle and back to the vehicle connector.
If that live blade was to be damaged / interrupted, a short or spark or fire could follow.
If the live 12 volt wire, itself, was damaged, in any way, going from under the hood to the rear bumper, the same issues could be the end result.
So ..... to lessen the chance of unwanted problems, CHEVROLET left the live wire unattached, unarmed..
The owners manual addresses the 12 volt hookup, if towing with all 7 blades is needed. .
Some towing situations only require a 4 blade connection, allowing the 12 volt power line to remain unarmed.

I have never ever seen male connectors on a vehicle. I suppose a real dumb amature who didn't rad the instructions could do it that way. It would be dangerous. If the connector touched anything or anything touched it you would/could have a short. The male connector should always be on the towed unit.
It doesn't work the way you would like.

Again Matt, I appreciate your insight !

It is also a fact that the vehicle connection is the female side and poses virtually no risk to the owner unless the trailer wiring is incorrect.
The trailer wiring plug connector, on the VEHICLE, has the MALE connectors, the wiring plug connector, on the TRAILER, has the FEMALE connectors.

Great info Matt, thanks for your detailed information.

I have a '51 Chevy for sale, which has attracted a high level of interest.
Problem is, most of the interest is not close to home.
Potential buyers have asked if I would allow a company to come to my home, to evaluate the car.
I have not had this experience, do not know what to expect.
I would like feedback, as to what happens when a potential buyer pays for an inspection.
What does the inspection consist of ?
Thanks.

Well guys, it looks like the Skyliner and I are headed to Hollywood for filming on February 28th. They are shipping using National Transport who has their own drivers and insuring for the agreed amount on my JC Taylor policy.
A great time coming up for the Skyliner, you AND your Dad. Congrats, V.L.

Am I the only one that got the humorous intention of this post? May need to tie this post back to the Flying Car post. I just wonder how this will affect the future of space based sci fi movies.
STUDE LIGHT, I think my post did not connect, with some.

Did I mention I went to look at the new Tesla Roadster?

Guess the mattress idea sounds better, after reading those two posts.
-
It appears wiring the money would be the best approach.
If, however, cash was the method of payment, a $5,000 cash deposit into several accounts would not raise red flags or require forms ?

Worry about exposed license plate numbers belong to the person who stuffs their money under their mattress, because they don't trust banks.

A gent is coming from 800 miles away to look at my car, which is for sale.
If he likes it, he pays, gets a clear title and drives or tows it home.
Besides cash, any other form of money to be accepted ?
Price is 20K.

Once my ad is put together and placed in E Bay, can my ad be edited, if wording needs to be changed or an update to existing pics needs to be performed , etc ?
