[QUOTE="Don Rush, post: 1421329, member: 37817"] Yes! I own West Coast Classic Cougar and for 30 years I have been selling high end 67-73 Mercury Cougars and parts. The number one thing you need to do is get on the phone with a seller. The good ones will under sell their car and not over sell. They will go out of their way to tell you about the day their grand kid spilled a milkshake in the back seat and that there is a defect in the paint that pictures just cannot capture. They will often send you as many pictures as you ask for. Had they of just done all this on the ebay site they would have got bank! This is how I market a car on Bring a Trailer or ebay... [MEDIA=youtube]2wsKvM9ItoQ[/MEDIA] This gives the buyer a ton of confidence but means you the buyer often pay 110% of retail. I have bought many cars in the $10k to $60k range without seeing them first and once in a while it does not turn out so well mostly because you have a 100% legit honest seller but they just have no idea that their is a major problem hidden in their car.
