I would consider that anyone using any consignment services should be prepared to accept a deep devaluation of those assets in consignment.

One way to sell an old Ford or any other collector car is to list it with Bring a Trailer. This is an online auction that you can use for about $100. You have to fully describe your vehicle and take many photos of it. If the people running BaT agree to accept your car, you can expect it to sell within a month for the best offer. You can list a reserve price to insure the car does not sell for less than the amount you are willing to accept.

I've sold 3 of my early Ford V8's using the EFV8 Classifieds on this website > https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Classifieds.cfm I couldn't be happier! Didn't cost me a dime...

Use this site and the Fordbarn to sell your car. Both are free and you can post photo of your car. You can also take it to a good swap meet where people can look at it and you can make the deal yourself.

I thought a BaT listing/auction lasts one week. The $99 seller's fee gets you a 7-day listing/auction. And they do not want to re-list previous listings, according to the website. Am I wrong?

I used Auto Trader and it worked well, listing ran for three months, no extra cost. I think the listing cost was $100 and was worth it.

A friend passed late last July that had 14 cars. They placed ads on Facebook marketplace and currently have 13 of the 14 cars sold. It is free but you seem to deal with some squirrels on it. Then again after working in retail for 30 years the squirrels' are everywhere.

In my opinion, Bring a trailer does not bring decent sales prices for antique cars. Have a Porsche to sell? That's the place. I wouldn't get near facebook as most "old guys" don't do the facebook thing. Autotrader? Like Craigslist, simply too many goofballs to deal with. Hemmings on-line is still being hunted by serious buyers. Easy to place an ad, reaches a lot of folks internationally. The Fordbarn seems for the most part to attract those looking for real bargains. Local swap meet? Not enough "traffic". Consignment places? I have not found one that I'd consider worthwhile. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
