You're right... why use the biggest seller of used cars in the world? Why get tons of high quality color photos of your vehicle listed with a huge description and a guaranteed sell for the price you're asking?

Maybe the real problem is competition? There are 87 - 1965 Mustangs on ebay right now. Anywhere from stripped bare chassis to fully restored limited edition cars like the 64 1/2 pace car. I can tell you right now that your car would be the second most expensive coupe on ebay, next to a nutball asking $30/35k for his 65 Coupe.

I bought my 1996 Explorer off ebay, and I flew to NC to pick it up and drive it home to MN. I could get a better deal on that vehicle on ebay than I could locally. That being said, most high demand cars sell for just about the same on ebay as they do in local advertisements.

Quite frankly, I hate ebay as a company, but I also realize the advantages to using their service. Then again, if you don't want hundreds of thousands of buyers being able to view your vehicle...
