kingrudy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I like the interior on this car and I'm a big fan of the four door GM flat tops from '59 and '60. Great looking cars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 $28,000 ? Really? So basically everyone with a nice car needs to start at $25,000 to $35,000. No offense, if it is a legitimate 36,000 mile well kept car it has a value but this was a $10,000 15 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 15 years ago, I would have sold that 72 Boattail (recently sold for $20k) for $5k. 2 years ago, I sold my 57 Roadmaster 75 4 door for $25k. Prices are up for sure. I think I recall a 59 flattop selling for the high 20's in the last couple years, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, five years ago this would be the price of a nice coupe of this year, but everything changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly_John Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) $21,100.....MINUS the cost of eBay seller's fees. So, the seller will be lucky to net somewhere in the neighborhood of $19,000 for the car. Perhaps they could have done better by asking a little lower direct sale price, when the seller first posted the car at $28,000 on Facebook. Just thinking a little about the marketing strategy.

Smartin Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Pretty sure ebay doesn't pull final value fees on cars anymore. It's a flat listing fee in the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John After ebay fees, he would have cleared about $21k. Ebay fees for vehicles are under $100. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thank you very much for the clarification, Guys. I stand corrected. I understand the flat fee for selling that you both mentioned, but is the seller also paying the additional eBay fee to "clear" the payment from the buyer to the seller through their system (as with other eBay auctions)? Just curious. Thanks again. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
