Donald,
Make sure the car is EXACTLY as you stated in the listing. Even
better condition than listed. For some reason the sellers I have
dealt with on eBay are less than honest about their product and get
bad feedback.
Give it a quick wash and vac before delivery. Make sure fluids are
up, wheels aired, and everything you said is working.
Payment is best if it is cash or you and the buyer take his cashiers
cheque to the bank together. Let him know that is the plan. It has
a better chance of being real if he knows the bank will process it in
front of him.
Lurkers may be waiting to swoop in at the last moment, but you should
see some activity either early or in the last 12 hours as it heats
up. If you have some bids, that tends to make others bid, and the
original fellow to up his bid.

I have never sold anything on Ebay. So, I am wondering if anyone has
any hints about making sure I don't get screwed. (it may be too late
now, since the car is already for sale.) But, I guess the thing to
know
is that I should watch out for fake cashier's checks and obviously I
won't release the car until I have the money. Any other thoughts?
As an update - two people have bid on the car. It is up to $3175.
It is
not to my reserve, yet. If anyone is curious - the reserve is
$4900. So,
if you want it that is the price. In fact, if anyone on here wants it
for $4900, I will end the auction early.
8 people are watching it- which makes me feel a little like Big
Brother
is watching you.
