5 Good California 240Zs on Ebay

[Carl Beck]

Had zcarlady photographed her car as well as the last car - she might have gotten the bidding up to $7,500.00 maybe higher.

You can't expect people to buy what they can't see - or what your not willing to show them.

Carl,

No wonder the car you referred so was well photographed. It looks like this was sold by an editor for a car magagine (Sports Car Market). See the paragraph with a picture of the car and a link to the eBay auction towards the bottom of the following link.

SCM's Affordable Classics Editor Puts His Money Where His Motor is

Rob Sass has long maintained there is money to be made buying cars on Craigslist and reselling them on eBay. He recently bought a ’71 Datsun 240Z on Craigslist, and after cleaning it up and putting some miles on it, he's listed it for sale on eBay—and his investment is certainly less than the current amount bid.

I wonder how much he bought it for, and if he made a profit flipping it.

I have always considered doing exactly what Rob Sass mentioned. Being from So. Cal, I see a large number of minimal rust cars being sold all the time.

Hell, last December someone was selling a 1973 240z with triple Mikunis, ported/polished head, straight body, etc. for $2500.

That's tough to do, though. In my state to register a car and get a title you have to pay sales tax. Then you have ebay fees and paypal fees. All told you could end up paying 10% in transactions costs. Not a big deal if you can sell it on ebay for 2x what you paid, but something to consider nonetheless.

I'd like to go out to California with a big multi-auto trailer and buy up as many low rust 240Zs (with low prices) I could find to fill the trailer ...10 or 12 cars???.. ....we'll, I'm just dreaming right now...if I had the time and a place to put them, we'll who knows??
