I've sold cars with no reserve quite a few times on eBay in the 5 or 6 years
I've been cutting down my collection. I always start them at $100, and no
reserve, and I always get fair market value (or more than that!) for them,
so I trust the market place.
We'll see, maybe I'm crazy, but I believe in eBay as a way to present one's
goods to the widest possible audience, and that a good value will bring a
fair price.
The fact is, I am selling these cars because I am too old to start any more
major projects, and now that the fire has given me probably a year of
cleanup work to add to my worry list, I am going to sell off the cars that I
am satisfied are as good as I think they should be. Once there is no need
for my ministrations anymore on a car, I begin to get involved with other
cars and lose interest in the completed ones.
Besides all that, the fact is that I am not in need of the money, just the
feeling that I don't have to feel responsible for the car anymore. Call me
strange, but that's the way it is.
