Ebay Motors

I just dumped my truck on eBay, and now I have the sneaking suspicion that I just wasted $50.00 bucks. :frowning:

Anyone have any success selling a car or truck on eBay?

I haven’t sold a car yet…will be later this spring. I have bought two cars on ebay and the experience was fine. I actually won a third car, but we had to suspend the purchase due to title issues.

My suggestions are to:

Keep up with your email–we asked lots of questions and if the seller didn’t get back to us quickly that car was off our list.

Make sure your pictures are good and that you have extras to email if people want to see a particular thing.

Make your title eye-catching.

Have a detailed description so that people don’t have to ask you simple questions; frex is your truck a 1-ton, 1/2-ton, etc.

If there is anything special about your rig, make sure that info is in the title and description so that people will find it easier.

Good luck!

Thats good advice! Thanks!

I attempted to sell my motorcycle on ebay a few years back but everyone lowballed me. It seemed that nobody wanted it unless it was a steal. I guess in reality it’s too risky to bif on something you can’t see. It ended up some local guy called me about it after the auction ended and nobody had met the reserve, came over, took a look at it and then bought it for my asking price.

I had much better luck selling my car last year on Craigslist. It was free to post and I received two calls within 5 hours and had it sold the same day.

I tried the Craigslist thing here. It seems that Dallas’s version of it must really suck or something. I tried selling it there once before and I had another car on there. It took three months to sell but it finally did.

Thanks for the heads up on that though.
