Namerow Posted October 2, 2016 Share #13 Posted October 2, 2016 This car was a great build. I would go with Bring a Trailer first, with a reserve set at $30K (nothing ventured, nothing gained). If you have no luck there, you'll be stuck with eBay. FWIW, I don't think that this is the right kind of vehicle for the big-name winter auctions in Arizona. GLWTS.

grannyknot Posted October 2, 2016 Share #14 Posted October 2, 2016 BaT will want to put a very low reserve on your car to ensure a sale, that's why I went the ebay route and got a sale price I was happy with, but ebay can be a very abrasive experience. Also, BaT lists a lot of 240-280z's, some say their market is saturated resulting in an lower average price for the Z's they sell. I'm not slamming them, they are a good service and convenient. There are lots of good buyers in Europe that have deep pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted October 2, 2016 Share #15 Posted October 2, 2016 Sorry to see your beautiful car go up for sale Matt. If you go the Ebay route, someone here can submit it to BAT and you will get that additional exposure for free. I submitted grannyknot's car & it was accepted. Best of luck with your new business venture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Z is all original other than the panasports and it doesnt list the mileage but I am assuming its low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true in any way shape or form. But I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if its totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogriz91 Posted October 2, 2016 Share #20 Posted October 2, 2016 FWIW see if you can't get it on Bring a Trailer to increase visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaZmatt Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share #21 Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks again guys. I'm going to post it on BaT and see what happens. It may take me awhile to take some more pictures. Much appreciative of all your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted October 2, 2016 Share #24 Posted October 2, 2016 I really wish you luck with your new business. .... but I am truly sad to see you sell your car. I followed your build and lived the process with you it felt. Wish there was another way for you to keep it. Hate to say it, but you will regret it one day. Buying your car is a better proposition than finishing mine almost. Damm cdn peso just kills it for me though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
