My car on Ebay...what do you think?

jtdig64 · 03-19-2002, 06:26 AM

I just listed my car again on e-bay and wondering what the gang thinks. Did I leave some info out that people might want? I bought a new/used 930 so its time for this one to go. Hate to see it though I really love this car. Thanks for the input!

Looks good. I think that you have plenty of info there. I would think that they would email you for any additional info needed.

I would say the info is great, however, your pictures are dark, so it is very difficult to judge the condition of the paint -- some better lighted pictures would be helpful here -- as we all know, it can be quite expensive to retouch/repaint these babies.

Ditto's on the comment that the photo's are too dark. That's a beautiful color combination but you really can't appreciate it with those photo's. With so many cars to look at on e bay, it doesn't take too much reason for someone to just click on to the next car. I'd add a few photo's as an addendum. From the info posted, tho, and what I can tell from the photo's, it will be a real nice acquisition for someone. If I had infinite garage space, I'd be thinking about it.

Thanks for all the help, I am going to post some new photos I just took at the office.

Argo,

I know what you mean about having space, wish I had another place to store this one...Though the wife would not be happy!!

Thanks again,

Is that a taxi meter on the dash?

Hot lap timer, fits right where the ash tray goes......

Nice try though!!!!!!!!

as stated above pictures are very important. Get the car outside and get the whole picture of the car in one shot from both sides and at different angles.

You know what they say about a picture, it speaks a thousand words!

Can I add a couple of comments?

Personally, I don't like it when the seller says they reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. To me, that leaves me at a serious disadvantage: What if I'd passed on a car because your auction ended later? That car would be gone, and then you sell to someone that wasn't even bidding - and I'm screwed. But if I try the same thing (bail on the auction when a better deal shows up), you can hit me with negative feedback and/or get me kicked off eBay. A "Buy It Now" option would solve most of that, and I think it would really help since the auction's only 3 days - it gives everyone an idea what you're shooting for.

Second, the "valpo" location - not everyone knows that's slang for Valparaiso, IN. Could cause some confusion.

I like the color combo though, I remember seeing it when it was up last time.

Emanuel,

Yes I think you are right about that. I put a little amend on my auction on what you were thinking. Very Good!!

Thanks again,

Todd
