So it would cost me roughly $4000 to put a car on the block.

A car in equivolent condition and milage as my black 560SL ,126K miles went for 17.5K there is a 8% sellers fee and a 10% buyers fee.

So essentially I would walk away with $12,000, which in all honesty is not something I can do by any other means and its fast. 4 days and its game over.

Now the guy who buys this car, just paid $19,250 after commisions and he may have to ship it, all for this car that has an NADA dealer retail value of at most $14K and streat value of < $11K.
