Goldie Locks is for sale on Ebay!

Hello Peaches,

I just listed Goldie Locks on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280703495402&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

I am pleased with the way the car has come back to life. You might remember that it was a basket case when I received it.

What do you think of the finished product?

That looks great

If I were you I'd do some key word search terms in German.

Your car would fetch serious money there - so at the price you are asking I'm sure you'd get a lot of interest.

Can you help me by writing one paragraph in German? I would want to say welcome (Wilkommen?) to the German bidders. What other key terms should I use? (Strict /8)?? Please send me a PM!!

I don't know; but does anybody know the German word for "Mercedes"? That would be a good one to use.

I think your car will bring top dollar; once the right people/collectors start looking

That's exactly how an ebay ad should look. Good job!

I wouldn't be surprised if the winning bidder is from the U.K., Germany, or even Sweden.

I'd try and update the ad with some German translation in it, in case someone in Germany does a German language search.

Good luck with the sale.

Looks awesome!!! I hope you get tons of money for it. Who did you source the seat parts from? (if you'd rather pm me the details that works too)

Great presentation, I'd be surprised if the winning bid didn't come from Europe, LOTS of 914/6s that I know have sold overseas.
