Question Best way to sell?

So, a truck that i have wanted to buy for a couple of years shows up for sale today- and giving some thought on selling my 78 sierra classic 4x4 i was wondering, i have all nos gm fenders-inner fenders-doors- door panels, mirrors, complete set of nos trim, door and window mechanical parts, winders handles etc- tailgate band, grille, steering wheel, and other misc NOS parts, should i package them together with the truck or sell them seperate, the truck overall is really solid- runs and drives better than my 03 crew cab- and if i seperate them what should i ask for the parts and pickup?

Re: Best way to sell?

List your truck on Craigslist, taking all the nesseccary precautions. List it alll as a pkg or sell seperate. Price it fairly. And settle in for a wait. If someone wants a single piece explain to them you'd want to sell the whole thing as a package, take their info and KEEP IT! Seperate pieces bring more money but over a longer range of time in smaller amounts. Try to sell it as a kit but be ready to sell in pieces in the long run. Hopefully, you'll have enough people looking for enough pieces to gather the money or you'll sell it as a kit at a price you can live with.

Re: Best way to sell?

What is your goal? A quick sale so you can buy the other truck? Then sell it as a package. Want the most money possible? Then sell the truck and then sell the parts piece by piece.

Re: Best way to sell?

sell the parts seperate and tell the buyer nothing about them, or you will get pennies on the dollar, plus it makes your truck appear as a project versus a good daily driver that needs nothing.

I still want one of your tailgate bands

Jeff sounds to me like you need to sell more speaker brackets!! or you can bring the lovely wife to my B&B (www.davieschoolinn.com) for a "working vacation".... then no papers needed!
