I have had it up for sale in our classifieds for a month and haven't sold it yet which has really surprised me. Maybe I am asking too much at $37,000 or best offer. But I thought that would be a fair price to start.
Should I try Ebay? Has anyone had any experience selling their Cobra on Ebay?
If so, should I try to write my own ad and sell it myself? Or, should I use one of the Classic Car brokers? They offer to weed out all the scammers and tire kickers, but they charge a commission.
Or, do you think in this economy I am just asking too much for my Cobra?
I know this is opening up a can of worms, but what do you think it is worth? Here is my Club Cobra ad:
PhotoPost Classifieds - 1967 real 427 Side Oiler Engined Unique Motorcars 427 Cobra - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds
PhotoPost Classifieds - 1967 real 427 Side Oiler Engined Unique Motorcars 427 Cobra - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds
If this link doesn't work, it is on page 2 and is a red Unique Motorcars 427 Cobra with a 1967 427 side oiler, dual carbs and a toploader.
Please no flammers, I am asking an honest question of worth, not opening up a debate on which kit is the best, etc.
Thank you for your help. The Club Cobra family is great!

Scott,
You need to dig deeper and elaborate more in regards to the cars description. It has always been my experience that the more detailed information you lay out for potential buyers, the better response you get to a for sale advertisement. Also, when it comes to taking pictures, less "artsy" angles and showing more of the car has always been more beneficial than the types of shots you currently have of the body in your clubcobra classified ad.
If you are going to list it on Ebay, take advantage of their offer to host 24 shots, use each and every one, as again, history shows that the more pictures, the better chance of finding a willing bidder.
Finally, I do suggest cobracountry as a viable selling place, my clients have had great success in both buying and selling there. Follow Curt's instructions on taking pictures.
Hope you find this helpful.
Good luck with your sale.
