always had decent success with ebay. However, the last 3x I sold a car, the buyers went MIA. Never heard from again and of course, no accountability.
So many have mentioned Hemmings, but I do see their rates went way way up. As in 100. listing fee and then 5% of the sale.
So my question is- Facebook? has that been successful for you and if not, what other avenues. A poll on this would be great, but not quite sure how to set that up........
Once again, your thoughts in the chging climate of our economy.
(btw sold 5 cars on ebay 3 yrs ago with a 100% sell through rate-times were good) thanks!

I bought the online plus print package from Hemmings to sell my dad's 46 Mercury coupe. Took lots of pictures, etc. It went live on the website first, not a single call. Then a few weeks later, the print magazine came out. We got a few phone calls from people offering to sell te car for us for a fee (scammers), and about a dozen emails offering to send a cashier's check for an amount greater than the asking price, but wanting a refund of the difference (slimy scammers). Not one single legitimate potential buyer. The package cost $149! Should have just wadded up that money and thrown it in the trash instead, and saved the aggravation of the scammers.
Hemmings used to be a great way to sell a collector car, but not any more (that is just my opinion). We still have the 46 Mercury, and a thinner wallet.
