Auctions in general

[AutoInsane]

I have seen multiple $100k + cars sell on this website in under 4 days. Obviously these are the more rare and perfect cars. Even so, in this day and age of Ebay, and the internet in general, it would seem a guy could market a car himself to potential buyers who would want to buy the car. I would guess it would be the same guys who go to the auctions.

For those who have sold cars through auctions, would it really be that hard to sell a car and not utilize an auction? I know often times the hype of the auction and the "dopn't miss it for just a grand" push the price to a higer level but then there is the 10% seller's fee which negates the increase in price.

In my opinion unless you have a $200k+ car to sell you could do it via classified ads in magazines and on the internet. $500 - $1,000 in marketing would go a long way!

I think I should go into the business of selling collector cars........
