just my opinion
dude we arent stupid we take in our cars for well under bluebook. im going to put on our rare pieces and our bargain shit i think. like for instnce ive got a mint 98 328i BMW we have $3000 in. this thing is loaded, wheels, leather, heated seats, roof, etc... it has 130k. i guarantee i'll sell it for $5k minimum and make a 2 pounder

ok, for something like this image will mean a LOT. I'd either commission a photographer to take some photos or acquire a nice digital SLR and learn about taking good commercial photos. If the photos look at all seedy, it will make your listing look a lot less credible, esp since its a franchise .

shit... lets look at it, for a couple dollars he can potentialy bring 100 new people to his lot, each interested in one of the 10 cars KoTT lists at auction maybe half those people take an interest in other cars, if only one of the auction cars sell, it pays for all 10 auctions and a bit extra but the potential sales from 100 unique customers all asking for KoTT is pretty good, lets say just 5 of the hundred buy one, again, money in KoTTs pocket and the dealership is happy too

at $5k it's still under blue book, I dont have a subscription to the black book anymore but it's probably about $1800 under wholesale

yeah i really didnt know how much they charged on items that were more expensive.. i thought maybe they took a small percent of the sale..
idk i guess in my personal experience, and this is what friends do.. we get on ebay looking for a bargain.. something we can drive for a bit.. fix up if needed, then turn around and sell for profit.. i dont think (maybe im wrong) many people go out looking for a dealership that has a car they are looking for.

In a Popular Mechanics article I read that Dealers could pick up cars in running condition for as little as $2-$300 (Minneapolis I think it was.

well, most of the bargains on ebay arent, I saw a beautiful Honda 2000, listed as 1 owner, low milage, never raced, adult driven and loads of other shit, I then went to the dealership and found those stupid ricer pedals still installed, butchered wiring from the amature radio install, 120k miles on the odo, and a wire under the hood throwing sparks, I had them put it on the rack and a control arm was bent and the oil pan was caved in
everything was BS, it did have great paint, probably due to extensive body work
