Cool car but you may want to change this wording.

I will sell to anyone in the world and will do what I can to help with shipping but all costs are on the seller. If you are in the 48 states I would not hesitate to fly in a drive home.

Thanks for catching that :lol: It was getting late typing last night.

The only other thing I would change -- with an auction - you don't care where the bidding STARTS -- you only care where it ENDS... You've done two things that I would not do on Ebay or at any auction.... Which is different than an ad in the local paper.

Don't set where she starts - and why would you LIMIT in an auction - where it ends -- what if a guy was willing to buy it for 57K? All you need is TWO or more people that want what you have - and are willing and able to pay for it. So if it was mine - I'd set a RESERVE - without telling ANYONE what that reserve is - and let the "market" set the price. If it doesn't meet your reserve - you don't sell the car... and the market speaks what their willing to pay.

Now - once you have some bidders -- and if it doesn't make your reserve - you can always start chatting to the bidders - because the high bidder might have been willing to bid more - but if the "second guy" didn't BUMP HIM UP - his higher max bid never gets there...

Greg thank you very much for the insite. I thought about how to list the car for the last couple of weeks. If I was willing to list the car over and over waiting months I think your way is better. Since the car is only going to be for sale for about a month I just decided to lay my cards on the table. I came up with the absolute least I would take for the car and knocked another 500.00 off that for a starting bid. The buy it now price is my get to buy a little more shop equipment price after home repairs. If the car was complete with show car paint I might have done it a little different but needing paint, a top , and still the stock engine I will be more than OK if it does sell in the range I put out. If it doesn't then I will go a differnet direction on my house and continue building and improving this car.

That is a fantastic car. Too bad it has to be sold. Good luck with it and the home improvements.:cheers:

So the L-g price is $37k? As you know, we need a price per forum rules.

Thanks. I wish the watchers was an indication of how many people would bid. There are a ton of people watching the auction. I know the way I have it set up that anyone that is interested will wait until the end. My fingers are crossed that at least 2 people will want it and fight it out a little at the end but I will just have to see. Its going it be a long week until Thursday. :willy:

relisted cheap this week only

[gearheads78]

12 hours to go a good way from reserve but tons of contact all week and almost 100 watchers. Will be interesting to see if it starts moving at the end of the day or not.

I need a drink. The next few hours may get interesting if it makes another jump or two like it just did.
