Sold my Miata(sorta) on Ebay to seller in Florida. Guy flew up one Saturday morning, paid me cash and drove it right back to Florida. Called me twice to tell me how great it was. I did allot of work to it. Should never have sold it but I got twice the private seller bluebook value...buh bye. The new owner even drove me to pick up the Boxster from the dealer I purchased it from, they were nice enough to keep in the showroom for a few weeks.

I sold several commuter beaters. MOstly Hondas and Toyotas for friends who hadn't figure out how to use Ebay yet. This was 7 or 8 years ago. In every case I got them no less than twice or more of what they were offered localy. But in many instances the deal making occured after the auction. You can't beat the exposure of Ebay no matter how you slice it, even though it means you have to deal with allot of bad buyers. But nothing is easy when it comes to sales.
