[Roadsters] Sales Channels/67.5 Datsun 2000 Sale

[James Wiseman]

Hi Marty,

After selling my '69 2000 on BaT I am a big proponent.  I had 3 interested
buyers lined after the first day of the listing.  Most of the people on BaT
are "high end" classic car enthusiasts, you will get more "wheat" and less
"chaff" than you will on Craigslist or Ebay.

I don't want to start a flame war on here - but if you list it on the usual
Datsun sites you won't get top dollar because for some strange reason,
Datsun enthusiasts seem to undervalue the cars.

BaT does have listing costs and requirements.  If you want to specifically
list your car through them you have to let them have it exclusively for 2
weeks so you can't simultaneously list it on Ebay like one poster
suggested.  That only happens to lucky folks that list a car on Ebay or CL
and BaT posts it as a link and a "story."

Good luck!
