Given the very limited audience interested in buying an airplane and the
tremendous coverage of e-bay, why not? The competition for your plane is
right in front of you and the potential buyers. If your asking price is
not supportable, you get no bids. If reasonable, you have the
opportunity to get buyers to bid it up. When you sell locally, you have
to create the "competition" by telling buyers that they are not alone.

I would imagine you get the same number of kooks, kids, tire kickers,
serious buyers etc. on e-bay as anywhere else.

Good Luck,
Mike

I saw something on the news the other day that said Ebay Motors
(specifically the automobiles) gets more visitors than all the major
used car sites COMBINED.

I am thinking about listing my airplane, a C-172 Skyhawk, on Ebay for
that reason. Do you guys think that Ebay is presently a good medium
for re-selling airplanes? Or should I stick to Trade-A-Plane, etc?
