Sold 36 Cabriolet

[The Art Doctor]

Would the members here consider the Hemmings Auctions a good place to list a car? I get asked by older members of our RG how/where to sell. Currently a member has a restored 37 coupe that since 1985 was just putted around Atlanta a few times a year. He is moving and cannot take it with him. He has no knowledge of current pricing trends. What advice would you give?

I believe Hemmings ONLINE is a much better choice than Bring a Trailer or any auction house. It has proven to me to garner responses from guys that are truly interested in a particular vehicle.
I think it is important that a person selling ask a realistic price right from the beginning.

When I see an asking price that is obviously based on 1999 values, I don't even look at the ad.
There appears to be many guys that have either not stayed up with the (current) market and / or refuse to believe the current market.
My experience with the Early Ford Club site is that the guys (typically) that are looking at those ads are only doing so for amusement. They are no longer part of the "acquiring crowd".
