The car sold on the ebay auction for $19600. If the dealer paid the po's asking price of $18,000, he made $1400 or so after ebay fees. Anyone on this board could have done the same thing. Last spring I posted my 87 Targa on the for sale section of the board and when I had no action, I listed it on ebay. It didn't sell on ebay, but I got several calls after the auction ended and sold the car to Victory. Victory ran the car on ebay no fewer than 10 times over the summer and the car did not sell. I don't know when they ended up selling it or what they got, but they sure didn't get rich off it, after clean up, advertising costs, etc. I wish they would have sold it quickly for a good profit as that is what keeps dealers in business, and buying cars off of owners who want to move them. I could have waited for the motivated new owner with money to make me an offer I would accept, but I think I would have waited an awfully long time.
