I beg to differ. I know of several people that have gotten planes
from eBay. They actually visited the buyer in person before bidding.
It is better than buying from a classified ad as there is a chance you
may snatch a really good deal. Afterall if you can't afford to visit a
buyer and inspect an airplane - you should not be considering a
purchase anyway. :-) I am a huge fan of Trade-a-Plane and Aero Trader
but hope that a site like AeroBid may offer better deals on planes,
parts and service. Only time will tell... There are no listing fees
on that site (just reading their fee structure) - that is a good thing
considering eBay charges listing fees...


I agree... Ebay opens up a huge market of potential buyers for
your plane. If you post good photos, provide detailed information
about the plane you are likely to generate more interest. I have
seen quite a few planes on Ebay that appear very attractive.

As with any other venue for selling aircraft, it is up to
the buyer to inspect the plane in person before making a
committment.

Even if Ebay charges listing fees, it is a great way to
advertise your plane... to a whole lot of people.
