Guest Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 I'm selling my '86 Century T-Type. <BR>Was wondering if I should post it on Ebay or not. What do you think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Haha, I'm a goof! I see the forum for buyers/sellers on here! I'll post a message about it there. But am still wondering about the whole Ebay thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Just ask a for a s@%#load of money and see if anyone will pay that much. You might be the next over-priced car discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxops Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Your best bet it is advertise it on the BCA or AACA boards. E-Bay can be a great system, but it has drawbacks as well. With something like a car, you have to be sure that you really want to sell it, and you really want to pay E-Bay for the auction. You certainly would want to place a reserve on the car to protect yourself.<BR>E-Bay gives you a LOT of international exposure. The buyers can be quirky. Sometimes things FLY off the auction and sell well. Others just sit there and never make their reserve.<P>Unless you're positive that you want to auction it, try the boards or Hemmings first. Hemmings also places their ads online, although they are not often updated.<P>Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Plus the fees the eBay charge to sell a vehicle are nuts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Thanks! <BR>I knew that Ebay had fees and such but from the sound of it it must be a lot!! I'm still in the process of making a FOR SALE flyer to take to various auto stores around my house. I still have to take a couple of pictures of the car!!!! <BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 I read something about ebay in the USA Today paper recently that is a little troubling. Soon they will be sharing any personal information of yours with virtually anyone who wants it. I dont like that idea at all. If I were selling something, I'd still go the old fashioned way and put an ad in the local newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
