Here's my question-
Since Im trying to sell my cat:
1) what types of pictures should I absolutely have?
2) what type of description should I include
3) any tips for putting the car on eBay?? ...as I've never sold anything of this caliber online before.
I'd appreciate this input from all
Thanks in advance!
If you think like a buyer instead of like a seller, your chances improve dramatically.
Instead of only having "glory" shots, include the ones we ALL want to see also... underneath and/or the 'known' problem areas.
Same with your description. Instead of the 'mint, perfect, rust-free, immaculate' things we ALL hear and summarily question, give the justification for same PLUS a few faults. Such as...
"Car starts first twist of the key and idles smoothly, pulling full oil pressure. About 1 in 50 times I look at the gauge, I'll notice it's stuck, but a tap with my index finger (which 'repairs' many old car faults)and it's back to normal. Hey, it's a 35 year old gauge."
Also talk like a person instead of a dealer...
"There are no weird noises or known defects (or my mechanic would've told me WAY before now!)" to make yourself more 'real' and credible.
Lastly, give buyers more proof than they want. "I have all the reciepts for the work mentioned, plus can send compression numbers to anyone who asks, and the phone number of my shop is (PHONE) but please remember they're earning a living and would prefer to answer the 'big picture' questions than details that I could answer for you."
Again, put on your "doubting, buyer mindset" and answer all those questions for them before they have to ask them. Your credibility will soar far above the poorly described, poorly photographed examples... that typically fail to sell. Wonder why?
Good luck with it.
