Nope, them ad's will be canceled by ebay if some other seller rats him out.

I used Ebay for advertising. It cost more for a vehicle of course, but
for
me it was only about $3.00 per ad.

I used to collect silver coins from Nevada. I created my own website
listing all the coins I had for sale. I would choose one of those coins,
and list it on ebay. In my ad, I set it up to look like my website
pages.
There was a link in that page "Click here for more coins". This would
take
people to my website where my information was listed and they could
purchase
coins.

I got a lot of contacts this way and made a lot of sales on the side. It
probably wouldn't work with just one plane, but if you had a few, it
could
send a lot of people your way for just the cost of one ad. Maybe you
could
make your reserve price high.

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?

comments?

Sure, if you intend to really sell the item, which I do, but I get a lot of
leads and side purchases too.

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
