2 More MGBs....

Beige on is up on eBay...I put a pretty conservative reserve on it, so hopefully it'll go, I had good luck with eBay on that MGA project car, but this is very different, so we'll see how it does.

Nice!!

Hope it goes BIG!

Excellent ad Firm, I'm sure there will be a bidding war on that and you'll come out with a tidy profit for your efforts.

Thanks guys! We'll see what happens, it has a few bids, which is a good sign this early in the auction....usually there's no action until the last hour or so.

Auction closed pretty strong! Buyer has me a little annoyed, they opted to transact through eBay's secure purchase program, which goes through an eBay owned 3rd party called Caramel. They purchase the car and then finance to the buyer. Fine, whatever, but the seller has been totally non-communicative. They've been progressing through the steps; sent a deposit, verified identity, selected/secured financing, etc, so we've been progressing through the steps, but it would be nice if the dude responded to one of my messages just so we could make some direct contact.

I'm totally out of the loop on MG values.

Was that a high price paid for your car? Above average?

I'm clueless so the sale price number doesn't mean anything to me!!

That's pretty well top dollar for a 'normal' MGB, and by that I mean one that isn't some special production, no noteworthy history, no super low miles, etc, just a regular production MGB that's been used restored.

Congrats on the sale and I'd say that turned out pretty nicely in the end. Sure there is pain afterwards with the buyer not being overly communicative, but I think it'll get sorted eventually and you'll be onto different endeavors.

Well congrats, man!

Yes, congrats buddy!

Looks like eBay's purchase program, while slow, is getting the job done. It'll be nice to get one of these outta my driveway...This one car is the tipping point from being able to get most cars in/out without having to jockey them around.

Deal closed, $ in my account, and the buyer drove down from northern Wisconsin with his truck, trailer and wife, and picked it up tonight. Despite really poor email communication, in person, they were actually really nice people.

I bet that's a nice amount of relief getting that out of the way.  What age would you have pegged the buyer?

Late 50's I'd guess.

Looks like the white one is sold too...I have a neighbor that's been ogling it for weeks, but his wife was a bit of a roadblock. I guess she finally caved as he called me up on Sunday morning and asked if I was OK if he borrowed it to go to a family function, which I was fine with. So he took it for the day, and when he came back told me he wanted to make a deal...It was late in the day and we didn't have time to talk, but I think we'll be able to reach an agreement. It still need a bunch of little things, most of which I'll take care of, but it drives great. Will be cool to have it around in the neighborhood still.

That sounds like it'll be a lot less of a run around to get done, and I agree it'll be nice that you'll see it around still.
