Just sold my 67 Camaro on ebay a few weeks back. I started at $1, which gets the bidding going. Of course you have to set a reserve to make sure you don't have to let it go unless you get your price.

Also by doing it this way if the bidding stops short of the reserve but is close, you still have the opportunity to bargain with the highest bidder and perhaps strike a deal. If your starting bid is too high and you get no bids, then you will have no one to bargain with.

And lastly, if nothing else, doing it this way gives you some idea of what the market is willing to pay, even if that number is not high enough for you to sell.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I just sold my 1998 Grand Am on Ebay, I sold it for much more then I was hoping to get. Easier then at the end of the driveway, less tire kickers. Just answer some email. There are a few websites that have suggested Vette values. Check out Corvette Fever's homepage, I think they have it.

Looking at that pic, I would imagine there's quite a few women in the WF area who don't like Kara.

The rules and standards of the universe have just been insulted with that pic. Next you're going to tell me you love video games. But please don't, I enjoy gravity.

Good luck with the sale!

I think you'll be able to 7500. I sold my motorcycle on ebay a couple of months ago. I tried the newspaper, cycle trader and cycletrader.com. Didn't get anything. 3 days on ebay and my bike was sold.
