« on: August 18, 2013, 10:23:00 PM »
I have relisted my Dragon on Ebay.  No reserve this time with a starting price of $6,000.

I think it was. The buyer has given me the $500 deposit, and we have arranged to transfer the car and title.

No, he bought it site unseen, but will pick it up himself.

I think the car was well sold and well bought. Your description was honest and anyone who knows Dragons would clearly understand what needs done. It will serve the new owner well!

He is a collector, but this is his first Kaiser.  I have given him much information already and have urged him to join the club.  I think this is a good example of electronic media spreading the word about the club.

I sold a good, but far from perfect 51 HJ to a fellow KFer,sight unseen. After he recieved it ,he called me to thank me for having accurately described the car and what it needed. We kept in touch for several years as he brought the car up "Bristol Fashion."I helped him find parts and we remain good Friends.That is the way it is supposed to work,but all too seldom does.

Some of the problem is overselling, but just as much is unrealistic expectations. I do not have an answer ,but always give and ask for lots of photos.

Last month,I visited a seller with a 53 J that he represented in glowing terms.So help me ,it resembled a WWll higgens boat salvaged from Anzio as much as  an automobile!
