Feedback on E-Bay (C5 Related)
I am in the process of selling my A&A Supercharged '02 Roadster. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1025495 I am considering using E-Bay. Besides all the Western Union-Nigerian scams, I'd like to get some feedback about E-Bay to sell a Corvette...especially a highly modified Corvette.
Anyone here have any first-hand experience?
Thanks

I sold my Porsche via Ebay. since it was a 928S4 I was looking for a specific crowd that I figured the local paper would not have.
I ended up selling it to a guy sight unseen because I had a ton of documents that I sent him describing all the work.
My only demand was that I needed money within 48 hours and the car had to be paid in full 2 weeks after that.
If you look at other car sales you will see some good verbage that you should use in your sale.
Good luck with the sale.

Selling Vetes on eBay
I've bought 2 vettes on eBay and sold 1. For all of them the seller had the money before the buyer(me in 2 cases) got the car.
One was in Michigan and I'm in S/E Pa. I sent a certified bank check for the amount, but only after checking with the local BBB (He was a dealer). It was delivered to my house on a car carrier. The other one I picked up in person. Overall I was happy with both.
I sold a '71 Cpe on eBay and when the buyer picked it up we exchanged cash for title.
Just remember "if it walks and quacks like a duck, its probally a duck!"
Make sure that the funds cannot be reversed before turning over the car!!!!

I sold a car on ebay and I used a third party, credit union, to handle the transfer of funds and title. The title was not released until the funds were secured in my account.

sold
I sold my 03 coupe on ebay. I only recieved one bid but it met the minimum. Initially I sent a scanned copy of the title, then the buyer wired the money to my bank account. Then I signed the title and overnighted it to him. About 2 weeks later a truck showed up and hauled it away. Worked pretty good.
