A bit of a ramble about selling cars privately via the usual online options; eBay, Autotrader, Pistonheads and the Facebook Market Place.<\/p>\n
We’ll start with the most expensive, Autotrader. The charge was \u00a356 for the premium option, for which they achieved around 1000 views and 4 phone calls. I only took 1 phone call, however and a host of emails. The result – not even 1 viewing. <\/p>\n
After becoming mildly fed up with Autotrader, I tried an eBay auction starting at 99p with no reserve. This generated a flood of activity and over 3000 views, many offers to end early etc. The result – finishing bid of \u00a310,600, however this did not materialise and there is no longer a 2nd chance offer function for the next highest bidder.<\/p>\n
Facebook Market Place generated a bit of interest and being free, I cannot complain. A few offers but nothing accepted.<\/p>\n
And the winner for not only the most phone calls but least spam goes to Pistonheads. Selling cars privately online will always include Pistonheads for me, it is a more specialist site and therefore it seems to attract a better audience. Well done PH!<\/p>\n
