What Did I Do Wrong?

[SnakeEyeSS]

How the heck is my car's bid so low? there are worse deals on there right now. I've sold a car on ebay before, but I'm not seeing a problem that would constitute this! In fact, the high bidder has even contacted me, and brought up the fact wondering about it being bid so low!(I think he was wondering if there was a problem he didn't know about, and there isn't, I told him I'm suprised too) If you haven't seen, check the link in my sig above the pic(no, this isn't an ad for my auction, that link has been there a week everyone has to know by now).

Try advertising it as the Miracle Corvette with the face of of John Lennon in the driver's seat. That should bring out the nut jobs and you'll make out like a bandit!

Well...It DOES have 109,000 miles on it and it's not one of the higher demand Corvettes...That's all I can think of.

what exactly were you on at the time to notice that, daddy?

Dude what was your starting bid?

[geektoad]

how much do you think it's worth by the way?

 

1994 Corvette convertible 110k miles, clean not outstanding condition has private party value of about $6k in my area.

you can't find a nice C4 convertible around here for under 9K, much LESS a late C4, with the newer body, newer interior, and LT1. I bought it for 9 4 months ago and was told by corvette guys I hit right at market value. And I've put in over 1000 in it. so I think 8500 isn't unreasonable

I held powerseller title for almost a year and in that year I sold a lot of crap including a school bus, basketball scoreboard and a 50's model Catepillar motorgrater....

 

The first think that I learned was that you:

 

ALWAYS PUT CAPS ON YOU TITLE AND USE ALL THE CHARACTER SPACES!! NR

 

Cause is stands out more over all the other titles.

 

And it even stands out over the bold cause thats just a waiste of money and you might have one other person using that feature...

 

You really got to sell your item to make people interested in it... Like how you hate to let it go cause its one of my favorite cars that I have owned... Especially those times when you pull up to a light and you bark the tires and think to yourself, yeah thats American Musle Babe.. And I know its only a 350 but for its time it was in its prime..

 

The other thing that seems to do the truck is that its pointless to do a starting bid of $1000 or anthing like that especially when you have a reserve. It cost you a percent more starting off that way and sometimes items/cars get overlooked...

Start it off at $0.01.. You will get 5-10 more watchers and people will stick with it till the end because they have found interest in your item...

One time I thought that I was buying a sweet home alabama dvd. It ended up being a vhs because of my error... I paid the starting bid at 4.99 plus 7.99 shipping..

Once I found out it was a vhs I relisted it starting at $0.01 and it sold of like 10.49 + 6.99 shipping... The bigger the item the bigger the difference...

 

Color font helps too...

 

Ok I am done

 

Hope this helps and doesnt piss you off...

Cool, market's obviously different there. Was just a curiosity question, as i looked at the market here quick like to see what i was missing in your question. good luck!

sorry I really need to proof read my crap

A future president should not be so out of touch.

[dietz4ibanez]

got one guy,He'll have the money in 3 weeks, if it's not sold by then it's his. Asking 9K locally on craigslist, since that's what they are running around here.
