Thread: Selling Vehicles

Tweet

Ebay used to be great for that; I was turning over quite a few 4 cylinder econboxes from the auction and making decent money but the last year has been really bad. Same for parts; Ebay just isnt what it was a year ago as far as selling.

As long as you dont register the vehicles, (keep the title open if the seller will let you) you can sell as many as you want. Plus this way you dont have to pay the sales tax which will eat up some of your profit......Not saying it's totally legal, but unless someone complains, who's gonna know?

Neither is any other venue. The number of buyers isn't what it used to be.

Car sales here are way down and it is almost impossible to sell one if you own it. A guy around the corner from me has been trying to sell his big Dodge ram pickup for over a year now and can't even get an offer. Maybe when the economy picks up some it will help, but with the amount of unemployed around here, people are only buying what they have to have.

You aint kiddin, Bob. I've got a pile of good parts I've ran through Ebay and Craigslist several times and not had a bit of luck. I hate to pitch anything but then again I hate to see the pile getting bigger and taking up garage space.

Maybe youre just not pricing the items right.....I just put a set of factory wheels and tires from my 08 silverado on craigslist. (tires had over 60,000 miles on them) and sold them within an hour! Plus had three more calls while the guy was on his way to pick them up! Also put some fencing up on craigslist (barb wire, posts, etc) and sold it the same day! I had to cancel the ad to stop the phone from ringing! I got a guy right now from the HAMB trying to negotiate a deal for my 51 Belair.......Gotta be willing to cut a deal if ya want to move your stuff.....JMHO.....
