Super Spec still for sale

Posted the car on here before and has been on ebay twice, but not having much luck with the sale of my Robin Hood Superspec.

Anybody any ideas of how to value the car?

What's your auction strategy?

Buy it now? high start with no reserve? etc.

I have a mate who's sold a lot of things on ebay (plenty of motorbikes and also a Caterham as well). He swears by setting the reserve at the minnimum he'd accept and a really low start price. This tends to get people putting daft bids in just to test the water but it generally leads to the reserve being broken by the end.

I've sold two cars doing this and both have gone for more than my minnimum requirement.

a low starting price gives a bidder more hope they get it cheap, and then the reserve just makes them curious to find out what the reserve is
