I've had good luck (knock on wood) with parts on Ebay, a few sc&mbag
bidders but mostly good people with Mopar stuff. Any time I've sold Chevy
stuff it was a different story, I've learned to stick with Mopars, better
class of people. Cars as I said before, are also a different story. I guess
if you have a better than 50% rate of success dealing with people that you
don't know and have never even met you are doing well.

I agree with you about ebay. Some time ago
I advertised some 56 Fury parts on ebay and the bids went ballistic. As
it turned out I got a no pay ass hole. He thought it was great fun to
bid up parts and not pay. By the time I found him it way to
late for me to do anything with ebay according to their rules. I will
list items on ebay only as a last resort. Ebay cares only about how much
money they can make from us.

Ebay scares me with cars, I've listed an '87 GLHS on there and a '71
Road Runner, both sold (the RR twice) and the buyers back out literally
within 5 minutes of the auctions ending, when it comes to cars people seem
to think ebay is a video game, "Look, I won!"

Or,
you could Evilpay it with your investment amount as its opening

with no other Reserve amount on it.
