Matt - You've got a pickle of a situation because of the 3 years of neglect and no maintenance. Selling it on ebay is a bad idea, I think. You get no protection from a buyer who is ignorant, hunting for a bargain, buys your plane, then gets stung with unexpected costs of putting it back in service. Is it in a part of California where it's dry, or on the coast? Big difference for corrosion potential. Do you have a family lawyer who can draw up a document to make the sale as-is, with all of the needed disclaimers? Do you at least have a friend at the airport where it's located who could handle the sale for you? Is there a broker at or near that airport who specializes in smaller, single engine airplanes, who would sell it for you? In any event, I'd avoid the ebay type sale.
