Default Just Put Damaged Ef On Ebay

Hey guys, I just put my damaged EF Falcon on EBAY. Put it on with a starting price on $700. I normally sell cars in the Tradingpost and have never put a car on EBAY before. Is it a good place to sell this sort of thing?
I think it's a good buy so have a look on ebay by doing a general search under damaged falcon. Have a look if you have time and let me know what you think. I was asking the question as to what I should do with it on the e series forum some time back and most people said to wreck it. I was going to do this but have very limited time. Do you think if it doesen't sell I would get more money wrecking the car? Thanks guys.

You'll generally have more luck selling it with more pics, say some interior, engine bay and backside pics. I know it costs more but youve got to spend money to make money!
Give that a try if it doesnt sell (although at $700 it should)

Found the link

Depends on how much you're really after... Looks like a great car for parts, but, someone is going to need space to store it...

Sell it bit by bit, you'll get more money than the car was worth before the damage. You need patience for that, and I and probably you too, don't.

Go down to your Ford dealer and build a new EF from parts. Will cost something like $250,000.... True!

Man I never really thought about it like that. That's insane.

Thanks XR6 MARTIN for the link and thanks everyone for your opinion. If it doesen't sell I will probably wreck it. I'm still a bit attatched to the car and I get a bit depressed every time I look at it.

Was actually my mate who swerved someone who braked suddenly and ran into a Holden Astra. I owned the car and sold it to him. He had it a short while then had the accident and I brought it back off him for $400 hoping to repair it. He's now got an AUII.
