I have had better luck with CraigsList than eBay, and specialty forums like SaabNet are probably the best. eBay has a much broader audience, but what good is it if the Bidders are deadbeats.
Of course I P-O'ed one seller three years ago so I am not without fault either. I won an item with my fair but low offer, and then declined the purchase when they increased the price by over 50% to cover their "shipping" costs. No thank you. A few irate telephone calls from the seller (how did they get my home number?) claiming I was robbing them. My position was they still had the item and could either find less expensive shipping, sell to another bidder, or re-list. Guilt is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
Listing and selling locally avoids that. The worse part of listing locally is the "No Shows" after you change your schedule to accommodate their availability.
