yor5150 Posted February 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2008 '73 240Z at $8,600 and climbing but still hasn't met the reserve price... I know 240's go for more than 260's so I'd be more than happy to get $6,000 for my low mileage (72k) early 260Z. Maybe I should ask this guy to list it for me. eBay Motors_ Datsun _ Z-Series (item 190200419674 end time Fe...pdf Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/27152-wish-i-could-have-such-luck-selling-on-ebay/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also included the .PDF because I've found so many posts that referenced expired eBay listings, expired Craigslist ads, or other outdated URL's that were no long valid, etc. If somebody does a search a year from now and finds this post at least they can see what I was referring to and not get a broken link. But thanks for posting. I've got my eye on the 260.

Montezuma Posted February 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2008 I can pick that Z apart: What is up with the bumper, where is the chrome? Why would a car with less than 50K miles need not have the original bumpers/chrome? 50K miles, is it documented? It is a PA car, I have a 1973 PA Z, it was a disappointment and its online pictures where so much better. Whoever buys this car will not be happy with the purchase.

bkelly Posted February 22, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 22, 2008 Nice car, but it's really just driver in very good condition. Even though it claims rust free and "professional paint job", you don't know what quality the body work is under it. Unfortunatly, the only way to tell is if there were pictures, you believe the owners word, or you take all the paint off. Still, I can't believe it's doing that much. My 91 Mustang GT with 19k on it only did 8600 last week.

Oiluj Posted February 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 23, 2008 Does look like a nice driver, but I wouldn't trust a 35 year old car to be "rust free" coming from a snow-belt state... I know it's possible, but I'm a wee bit skeptical.

Walter Moore Posted February 23, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 23, 2008 Wait and see if it actually sells.It seems like fairly frequently there are cars listed on Ebay with unstated reserve prices that generate unrealistic bids but never sell. I have never been sure what is really going on when that happens, but I always suspect some form of a scam in process that most of us only see from a distance.Like maybe someone is trying to generate a "history" to inflate the value of a car they are really going to sell locally? Insurance fraud? Who knows.In any event it isn't a real sale until someone PAYS for the car.

yor5150 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted February 23, 2008 In any event it isn't a real sale until someone PAYS for the car.If and when someone does actually pay, I have a lot of "RARE" as most of the eBay ads say, Z parts to sell them!

DeesZ Posted February 23, 2008 Share #10 Posted February 23, 2008 To me there is something a bit fishy about this one... PA car in good shape is odd, but let's say it is in good shape (put aside the issues of weird front bumper, steering wheel, etc.) It's not a show car, but could be a real nice driver. But really, isn't that a high bid for a good driver? I would have to know and see a lot more than the description provides. It's a scant description and really a big lack of pictures of very important places..... Haven't we seen a fair amount of nicer cars go for less?Some people list like this, have friends bid them up, then relist later using the first sale price as an interest inflater. I'm not saying that's what's going on here at all, but I think it'll be relisted soon whether it 'sells' or not. Just a thought, not a fact.
