HELP what’s the best way to sell my Austin 7 Ruby?

[Tony Griffiths]

In answer to Dave’s question I threw caution to the wind and went for the Auction format with a very low starting price and in both cases, they achieved a very fair price, because everyone loves a bargain!

Several people came round to have a look and a drive and made offers on the spot, though it was very tempting, I felt it was unfair on the other bidders and I let the auctions run.

I think a lot of people see these crazy asking prices and automatically believe they are achieved, when that is simply not the case unless the car is particularly rare or desirable, or is authentic and unrestored.

What percentage did eBay end up taking? I hear that it can be considerable.
