Evryone I know that sells cars, said Hot Rod Hot line was the place to advertise. You might do Ebay and HotRodHotline.

Dave,

don't do Sunday my friend, for all the reasons above. If they can get you in Friday or Saturday, or anytime other than Sunday...............

Thanks guys. This is what I was thinking too but wanted to hear from the masses. Of course they call it "primetime" on Sunday simply because Speed channel coverage is for 4 hours that day. I was hoping for a Fri or Sat night spot.

Well, actually I was hoping for a Wed 12 noon spot so it would be easy to immediately say NO THANKS!

Thanks for all the input guys.

Have a safe Turkey Day wherever you all are!

Dave, it looks like all the signs are pointing towards "Don't do it" at the moment. I would certainly follow up on the other leads in terms of where to sell. Don't invest more money that won't profit you.

I agree, don't give away your car for an adrenalin rush. I have the Chevelle for sale & am looking at using Ebay & Hot Rod Hot Line, also Cars-On-line. Good Luck on your sale.

It is going to be hard to get a Friday or Saturday prime time spot. The auction has a lot of heavy duty stuff rolling through. My friend that runs a lot of cars there submitted 30 cars and had what I thought was at least 4 Saturday Prime timers, 4 more Friday Primetimers and the rest at least Thursdays. They gave him 8 Fridays and the rest were Tuesday / Weds. And this is someone that runs a lot of cars, ran our for us. If he cannot get smokin numbers, it will be hard to improve your Sunday number being mister new guy with one car.

But as stated, Thursday, Friday, Saturday (no way) or no go! However IF you could get Thursday / Friday, I am 100% convinced you WILL get the maximum amount the car is worth. Weather that number is what you want, that may be different, but you will get what it is worth.

I have talked to Chris and my car has a couple things that DQ me.

Thanks for all the great advice and info guys, especially on Thanksgiving!

Frank, I was hoping you would see this and chime in as I know you just went thru this in Vegas. Thanks for the words, and I agree with you if I got a good slot I would not be giving the car away.

I'll ask them Monday for a REAL primetime slot, and see what they say. I will probably say no and just ebay it and put it up on the mentioned sites (thanks for the Hot Rod Hotline tip - did not know of that one) when I am ready.

Darnit, I am full.

Dave --

A couple of things about auctions -- and these no reserve auctions are not for the faint of heart... and while a few get lucky and get their asking and then some - many more are giving cars away.

A couple of things you might think about == Some guys have "slots" that could be "had".... depending on whether or not you're really serious about selling your car... The other is - that unless there are at least TWO or more people wanting your car - even if a guy was willing to pay more... if nobody is bidding against him - he can't get the price up by himself (you can't bid against yourself after all)... The pros have "friends" - they'll 'bump' a guy... or if they're big time sellers and buyers - the auction will toss in a "phantom bid". Don't be fooled -- to these folks - you're a nobody - and they're not there to help you out. If you're a regular - they know what you "need" for a car - and will "work" to get it there.

We can talk via PM / Email if you want...

DO NOT run a car on SUNDAY or THURSDAY either.... and if you want my humble opinion - this is most likely NOT the year to be taking a chance on a no reserve auction unless you know how they work.

Greg, I think you meant to call me Dave vs Skip. I think you know us both on here.

I may sound like I am clueless sometimes but I am aware of the game played at BJ and am very prepared to be a player and not get played if the time slot is acceptable. Let's just leave it at that for now.

I will PM you Greg.
