Default Re: Is it a bad time to sell?

Selling online is about looks. I would remove all unnecessary accessory that it didn't come with from factory. lights, dual carbs, marvel jug, mirrors, and exposed wiring. Hide it away or remove it you can give them a box full of it if they want it. I would sell it all on ebay and return $500. Take down the picture with the head off. People dont want to buy cars that were worked on by the owner. No matter your skills they dont want to see it or hear about it. Let them figure out on their own a model a is a labour of love or wallet. All these cars have had work done you dont see it in the adds. Also craigslist is a collection of scams low ballers who wont value rarity and experts who watch the flow of cars and saw yours for cheaper last month. You dont need to change your price the right buyer may come along. But you may have cost yourself money by listing for cheaper before. Most of all open wiring in cab on a car that is so simple is unacceptable if you want the most for it.

Also your add is confusing about if the car is assembled currently or not by the photos. And the text should be changed to reflect mileage, how long you have owned it, if it runs drives stops, and when the paint/interior/engine/trans/brakes/tires were done. You could get an appraisal and that might help a person that wants a Model A that will appreciate but knows nothing about what really will as far as rarity and has the money to spend.
