I'm going to vote against no reserve. What if you don't get a lot of exposure for whatever reason and someone snaps your lovely car up for a song? Not a lot of recourse unless you have a buddy helping with bidding.

I would also have a starting bid. I hate auctions that languish in the hundreds of dollars when you know it won't sell at that price. If someone is serious, they won't mind starting at $7K. I wish ebay would do a "swing for the fences" bid where you could raise your bid regardless of the current bid is and what the next bid will be (ie now at $100, next bid is $200, but my SFTF bid would take it to $7K). That would help cut through the crap.
