My son's old 83 Mercedes diesel got into a minor parking lot accident the other day and that was sort of the last straw on getting our family car situation back in order. In other words I'm not spending another penny on that old car. I've already spent several thousand dollars fixing that old car up and now I'm done. My wife bought a new '08 Honda Civic and gave my boy the old 97 Accord. I attempted to trade the old Mercedes in but the Honda dealer offered me 200 for it. Heck, I could sell the wheels and like new tires for more than that. The old car is solid as a rock...except for some minor body damage and a broken tail light. I have rebuilt the front suspension, new brakes and rotors, belts, tires, glow plugs, and I can't even remember what all. I believe I can find one of those guys that want to convert the diesel to run on cooking oil and can either fix the dent or ignore it. I got to thinking that I see fishing tackle going for way too much on E-Bay all the time so why not the old M-B? If I could get $1000 or $1500 for it I would be one happy camper.
Question is...have any of you guys ever sold anything as big as a car on E-Bay? I know I need a Pay Pal account. I am registered on E-Bay but I've never bought anything there. How do you go about getting the pictures and all that on there? How likely is it that you get screwed somehow. I've heard some pretty hair raising stories. Nevertheless, I think that E-Bay is the way to find a buyer for a car as old and unusual as this one.
Any tips from anybody?
