2) detail the car. Make it look as close to showroom as possible. When I sold my 84D I spent 2 full days on just this. If it is not included, get it out of the car. If it is included, get it out of the car. Take a seperate photo of these things.
3)find a nice backdrop that does not include a home you do not own. Take the pics on a sunny day......it helps to show the shine of detailing. I use a nice county park about 1/2 mile from where I live....nothing like a nice tropical backdrop of palm trees and water.
write up a good discription and proof read several times......and let others proof read for you. Give yourself plenty of time before listing. It normally takes me a week to get the listing together on a high dollar item.

jmho.....hope it helps.....good luck

Yes Jack, Those are the tips I was looking to hear. Unfortunatly I can't make most of those changes, but I can add more pictures. They will have to be the small size ones, but I will add them tomorrow am.
I hope this reaches my reserve. I think it is worth that much and maybe will get a little more. (Hoping..) Usually I see 3-4 CDs listed in a week, but of course the week I list 10 show up.
I will use these tips and all others above when I list my '87 190e 5 speed in a week or so..........

If it doesn't meet your reserve, you can relist after the holidays and get a credit for this listing if it sells the second time around. Goodluck with it. I will most likely wait till Jan. to list mine.....by then, cabin fever has set in and more folks are on Ebay....looking

The extra pictures help but sometimes too much 'personal' itteration does not help. You are brave to list your phone numbers.

Good luck to you !!

28 minutes left and not looking to good.

If I relist I am going shorter on the description and longer on the pictures.

But if it were to hit 4,000. it is sold.


Same goes for anyone here who is looking for a CD "project" to convert to a stick.

If your reserve is $4K then I would declare that the reserve is $3995 on the first line of the listing.

The reserve is good for the seller but you want to give prospective buyers something to consider thru the auction duration.

Otherwise they just write it off like "this seller probably want tons for it etc.."

good luck.

try craigslist also.
