There must be some type of misunderstanding here. <br>I do not see how and why anybody would think I would be trying to <br><br>"recover the full cost of my project on eBay".<br>
I have used and enjoyed the car for 10 years and just like most new or old vehicles unless it is some type of collectable there is a certain level of depreciation to be expected. I wouldn’t buy a new car, use it for ten years and then expect to get all my money back either. This being a conversion I actually new from day one it would be fairly difficult if not impossible to recuperate most of my money. I really did not care because I built the car to keep and enjoy. In most cases people don't even expect to get back half of their money. I set my reserve price on ebay at $35.000 which clearly is the minimum price I would sell the car for. How can anyone misunderstand that?! The beauty about an online auction versus a regular car ad with a popular item is that even though I would sell the car for as little as $35.000 it can and most likely will exceed my asking price. So, one more time:<br>
did I say I want to recover all my money? No.
Would I like to recover all of it? Sure, wouldn't anybody? Is it realistic? Obviously not. That's why I put alot of time and work in presenting the car the way I did so I can hopefully recover "as much as possible" but in the very worse case I will take $35.000.<br>
