Hello all I have been cruising this site for some time and believe I even registered before but forgot my username. Glad to be back. I am in the North West suburbs of Chicago and in the car business. Good to see you GS.
I have a Special Shelby on Ebay now that most of you have probably noticed. I am toying with the idea of taking it to Palm Beach Barrett Jackson if they have room for it. What do you think? eBay Motors: Shelby : GT 500 KR (item 130082404096 end time Mar-13-07 16:48:11 PDT)
Great looking car. Really jumps off the photo.... at you. I've got a question. Why did you list your car with eBay as "Buy It Now or Best Offer"? I've been watching those auctions for awhile and it does not seem to be very successful. What has the response been? It's a super looking car and great color combination. With a low minimum and a high reserve you could get bidders working overtime. Just curious.
I am not sure if it is better or not, I am undecided. The plus side is a longer auction for more exposure.
OK, help me here. Your car looks great, you've got... a lot of details and substantiation. Are you getting any offers? If so are they reasonable? I'm interested because I'm considering selling my '99 Viper and I'm curious as to the correct manner. I think that a low minimum/opening bid and a safe reserve is the way to go because people start bidding and their interest grows. However, I want to know how it has gone for you with "Buy It Now/Best Offer". Your car should get some serious action.
I think eBay is a great place for someone to get great exposure for an item. I do not think you will get super mad money there. but what you may find is someone contacting you after the auction and arranging to come and see the car and negotiate a sale. sometimes that may happen during the auction as well. the car you have is very nice and the fact that the color is a "one of" should bump the value somewhat higher than normal. I am just not sure How much that bump is worth. the ultimate selling price will settle that.
