Re: Best / worst forum to sell Model A on.
I would use Fordbarn, HAM, and AHOOGA since they are all free

Just to cause a grin, some might argue; Well what about all of the FaceBook Model-A pages that you can advertise a car on? Those are free too, and while that is true ...IMO there is a huge hidden cost of advertising there. From what I see, on almost every post all of the 'arm-chair appraisers' seemingly come out and publicly voice their opinion on what something is worth. For example, someone can list a freshly restored, semi-professionally done 1931 DeLuxe Phaeton (180A) for $60k ...and the 'appraisers' fill the comment section with opinions such as how the Phaeton is overpriced since they bought a Coupe for $6,000.00 and their car is worth just as much as this DeLuxe Phaeton is. Or, you read opinions about how over priced a vehicle is, -or how unauthentic the 180A in the ad is because it is a Tudor Sedan with the top hacked off of it. So is it truly free advertising on social media sites?? |

Re: Best / worst forum to sell Model A on.
I've used Hemmings for high end cars and the HAMB (same owner as FordBarn).

If you're not sure what to ask then Ebay or Hemmings Auctions are your way. I too get tired of everyone chiming in on a for sale post on Facebook. The more well maintained Model A sites, like MARC's, are also annoyed by it and do a good job moderating comments on a listing. If someone comments with something out of the scope of your listing then ask one of the Admins to remove it. Guessing these Purdy's cars you're helping with?

Re: Best / worst forum to sell Model A on.
I bought one Model A on eBay, sold two on there. My avatar I bought on MAFCA and sold on eBay. I bought my latest Model A on Hemmings (classified, not auction).
I'm not sure if there is a "best" way to list. Realistically, you're looking for a single buyer, and you may find them on here, on eBay, or Facebook. If I were selling, I'd spread the word as far as I could and put the listing in as many places as are allowable. It doesn't hurt, and aside from armchair appraisers on Facebook, it's shouldn't be painful.

Re: Best / worst forum to sell Model A on.
I would start with both the MARC and MAFCA websites. They are free to members. You can't beat that.
