I'm not going to buy what you're selling, but, you know, if I was going to do something stupid, how much would it cost me?

It would have been cheaper a few hours ago.

I'm definitely interested in any words of wisdom.....

Here is an auction I helped my cousin do for his Camaro SS, he had done an ad and I went in and added quite a few things.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Ca...m=131636568016

For me some of the key things to eBay is:
You've got to try to put enough information in the ad so that you answer people questions before they ask
You always give some backround about yourself and why your selling the car. In this case he is having his second child.
Let people know the negatives about the car so they can see your not hiding anything plus you don't want any surprises when they get the car.
Let them know you love and care about your cars ...
I always do it auction style without a buy it now and a very low starting price so that you get a lot of bids on the car and it makes the auction seem hot. It intrigues people when they see a lot of bids on a particular car and it makes it more desirable.
Also the reason I don't do buy it now is people now know they have no chance of getting your car for much less under it so that kills the idea of starting off at a low price and getting a ton of bids.
When people message you and ask always disclose your reserve or at least a ball park of where it is
Answer every question right away with a lot of details.
Try to get 2 weekends in the car sale if possible (10 day auctions make it possible to do this)
Try to end the auction in the evening for both coasts, people in California are looking to buy cars and it is good when they are home and not at work distracted so if you can end the auction around 6 pm west coast time that would be perfect (this auction I made a mistake and started it in error way too early)
Lots of pictures and be heavy on the description, make people feel comfortable buying a car site unseen
Also I always put some thing in the ad of how Important positive feedback is for me and that I've sold other cars on eBay And I list some of the cars sold and tell them I could provide references if needed.

Anyway I hope this helps anyone looking to sell o eBay, it has worked well for me.

From the pictures and description it looked beautiful. Lots of car for the money.

I wonder if this is one of those cars that I'm going to kick myself for not buying ten years from now.

That's what I thought. I really would have kept it longer and certainly would have been more patient, but a bit of a discount to avoid paying registration/taxes/insurance and having the extra room through the winter was worth it, IMO.

Let's hope the sale goes through. It's a RI guy who works in Boston who recently sold a 993TT and wants a driver 996/997TT. Great local deal for him. He is coming tomorrow AM to see it/drive it.

And yes, I hooked up with him through rennlist.

That guy seems like the perfect customer for this car. He knows Turbos and should know what to expect with your car. Good stuff and good luck with the sale.

Looking at 996 turbos makes 997 turbos look like the smart choice.

My wife was bummed, but she really just wanted an excuse to go to Boston.

Well, buyer loved it. He really was the perfect buyer. Wasn't uber picky about the minor cosmetic flaws. He plans on driving it a lot.

Now just waiting for dealer to fix the leaky CV boot and it will be gone.

Big P-car fan. Has 3 other 70's & 80's 911's (beyond the pristine 993TT he just sold) and a modified 981S with a 991S engine and brakes (his thread on it here). That's what he drove in on. Awesome car.

Should be gone by mid next week at the latest.
