It worked out fine selling cars(real cars not toys) and the Hummer tool kits on eBay. Unlike a few lines in newspaper ads, eBay offers pictures and detailed descriptions. Lots of eyeballs (over 1000 visits for cars) and intense bidding. Bids for my cars came from around the country, but only local(North and central Californians) came to see and drove the MB SL. Cadillac Fleetwood was sold online sight unseen with fund wire transfered. The buyers generally know what they want, know the prices and the cars, and have been searching for exactly that vehicle only. Final prices were almost exactly what I estimated to be the fair prices. The best part is that I don't need to talk to most of the potential buyers as in the case of paper ads, by the time buyers came to see the SL, I knew they were real buyers.
