Sure, if you intend to really sell the item, which I do, but I get a lot of
leads and side purchases too. "TripFarmer" wrote in message ... Is that within the ebay rules? Trip In article , says... 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. Dave "Joe" wrote in message groups.com... 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? |

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.
