30 cabrolet on Ebay
There is a 30 cabriolet on Ebay selling in 4 hours. Top notch professional restoration with no bolts un turned. Past numerous national show winner.
For this reserve I'm sure he has much more in it! #181643064124 must see! |

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay
I can tell you it is Arlen Bieber's cabriolet
It is top notch, and a national winning point car with cridentials I would think it can't be duplicated for what he is asking I can't believe it isn't gone yet . If you want a super nice authentically restored cabriolet this is it Larry Shepard |

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay
My guess is that the $30,000 dollar start bid was a major mistake on his part. Even 30 K does not meet reserve. I personally will be surprised if it sells. Wayne

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay
I would agree that the starting bid probably was a bad idea. Better to start lower and put the reserve at the higher level.
The eBay listing ended without single bid. This car might have had a better chance at one of the well-promoted auctions, though with what the value of Model As has been doing in recent years, not sure it would have made the number the seller desired. |

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay
I think a seller he is not because it was not a good sales strategy !
And 31 I don't know about his carpet but I have the same car and I bought mine at LeBaron Bonney. Wayne |

As far as LB goes, yes they offer something for almost everyone. However some folks feel the need to take it up a notch toward authenticity. I can't say for sure what Arlyn did in all areas but do know what he did for the cowl cardboards as I advised him and saw the result which was exceptional. The pic below is from a 1929 Town Sedan I did in 1990. They look identical to the originals and Arlyn pulled it off beautifully on his as well. Does this look anything like the LB version in your car?

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay
I have sold several cars and numerous parts by listing them on ebay, and 50% did not sell on Ebay, but sold later because it was on Ebay, which is great because you then do not have to pay the Ebay fees.
Ebay has its pitfalls, but it does reach people, and Many times more people then the very small number reached on Fordbarn. I had one part on Ebay last fall with 22000 views on Ebay. That is good exposure |

What you have said here I totally agree with as I do believe the exposure factor is outstanding on Ebay. I took exception to how Ebay was used and not the fact that it was used. Have a great day my friend. Wayne |

I'll give them a look...Thanks I was told by an auto eBay seller, he uses eBay to advertise, not to sell. The sale comes later off eBay.

Re: 30 cabrolet on Ebay
A guy in our club was banned from ebay for making a car sale outside of ebay.
How does that work, and how did ebay find out? |
