Since things are bought by comparison, I offer this. Most listings on eBay are high dollar cars, 25k plus, but most sales are much cheaper.
Recently eBay has changed their completed listing format for vehicles and you can't access the original listings to view photos. I wish they would quit screwing with things!
91 white, 135K flood salvage, South Carolina, $8995
90 red, 24K , fuel system problems, North Carolina, $13,100
91 red, 69K "excellent cond", Calli, $14,900
94 red, 48K "great cond" Mass, $16,000
Cheapest current listing 90 white, 77K, 3 owner, "excellent cond", FLA, $14,500 was listed for $18,000 with no bids
Don't forget the other cheap ZR1 offered here on the forum. It really looks and sounds abused, 54,000 miles for $9,200
While worth more than most "regular" C4s as an investment the ZR1 sucks, especially when you consider the low production and 60K+ sticker price. More extensive research may prove me wrong.
Initially, I thought buyers would be fighting for Bob's car. Now I'm not so sure. If nothing else, it gives us something to talk about. Hang in there Bob, it will sell, eventually.

My first post was clear!! it read,
1990 corvette zr1 clean title, no accidents, 131,616 miles, red/red
original stock, never repainted, 3:73 rear end, factory rims have no curb rash...well used zr1...nu clutch, k/n filter , need a few odds and ends. 9000 , don't call to low ball, not interested call for photos or information. ...818-257-3106 or 818-705-1776
After reading it , one can decide, this may work, it says to call for pictures
THIS IS THE WAY I WANT TO SELL MY CAR.....if that's so offensive then don't call.
why is that such a problem?...
lastly....please don't refer to me as "Honey"

The 90 Z on Ebay in "Boca Raton" is most likely a scam. It's also on craigslist as located in two separate places in Jacksonville Florida with the same pics and same price listed. It's also on a few other websites listed in a different part of Florida for $19,000. The Ebay posting has disappeared from listing and reappeared several times. If it's legit, the owner has a lot of people trying to scam off it.
Drbobzr1 has a nice one for sale. Surprised no one has snapped this one up.

Not a scam.
I know the owner personally, he lives in NY and has a place in Boca, FL. He just doesn't have time for the ZR-1, and he's busy restoring a beautiful 38ft offshore fast boat that he purchased from me...back in December.
14,500 is a deal, car is in Boca, go get it.
If you want a modified ZR-1, my '90 is listed for sale in NY, a lot of car for the money.

slammin Thanks for posting the comps . I really appreciate the time you took and I took some of the same cars pricing when I priced mine I know its a good/fair price. I want to sell it , I have tooo many cars in the drive way. On the other side of the coin, I can sit on it for an indefinite period of time. The reason I decided to post here is I received numerous calls from corvette forum guys that were extremely rude and condescending. I have no problem asking people why they would post , "I'm interested." and make no contact attempt. I curious what motivates someone to waste time, as well as curious to my direct response.... Also the know it all a few posts up ,who said I should have taken the $7100 at auction , should/may be interested to know we countered at $9300 and he/she/they countered at $7900 sight unseen....

Called the guy...he must've been having a bad day. I was going to use you as a reference to break the ice of a cold call about his car but I didn't get the chance. Auction on site was ending soon and I was just trying to touch bases to go see the car in person next weekend (seeing as no one has bid on it from what I see). Pretty short with me on responses so I just told him to have a good day. Not worth driving 5 hours to deal with that.
He did me a favor... Thanks for verifying it wasn't a scam ad though.

I see you are big on using the phone. Wondering if you are going to return my text message or voice mail regarding the Jet DST you sold me? Yes you left me a voicemail and then I in turn left you one, is that where it ends? Just wondering how it works.

WOW...
DrBob has a car he wants to sell, he's priced it fair given its condition and miles, he's given all the relevant info that one should give, isn't that what we all want any seller to do??
Ok, so he's chosen not to give pictures or tell you where it's at, that's his right, it's his car! It may not be how YOU or I would choose to sell a car, but he's the one with the car, so he can do what he wants, even if there may be a better way. If you aren't helping to sell the car, get off his butt. There are way too many people that like to rag on people, we as Corvette people don't need to be like that. Help the guy, which many of you are trying to do. I just wish that this had come up before I bought my '93 or I would have bought this one.
Bob, hang in there, it will sell and someone will be happy with all that you have done to start the fix on this car so it can be enjoyed into the future.
I'm sorry the previous owner wasn't forthright in their description of what the car needed, no one wants that to happen to us when we are looking for a car.

Help the guy? Sure if he is willing to be helped. The man that suggested pictures before being snapped at was trying to help the guy. Please don't act like this gentleman was attacked without cause.
BTW, your comment about the previous owner not being forthright. The only reason you know anything about that is because "I" posted it. You are right, no one wants to purchase a car without all the relevant information. Do you see the irony in that sentence?

That is very true, without your link, we didn't see pictures or have any of the back story. Still, it's his ad, and I appreciate guys like you that can fill in the blanks, it's the guys that are just very negative that I don't see the reason for. If they don't want it, move on to something else, don't slam another Corvette owner trying to sell his car. Now, if it's a fake car or something like that, then they are helping someone to keep from being scammed, but I don't believe that to be the case here.
I thought the request of the last 4 of the vin was reasonable, but haven't seen an answer to that. Hopefully it sells and everyone moves on...

When I'm shopping Craigs list for a car, if the ad doesn't include a phone number in the contact info, I move on to the next listing. I can't remember a seller ever responding by email in the past when I've tried an email contact.
