1982 Land Cruiser eBay auction

1982 Toyota Land CruiserMy auction on eBay is going strong, I started the bidding at $1000 and it's already up to $1526. The auction ends on Sunday evening, I did that intentionally, so that folks will be home and on their computers to bid at the end of the auction. It costs $40 to list a vehicle on eBay, you get a refund if you don't get any bids. I didn't have a reserve, so whoever bids the most by Sunday 5:47:32 PM CST wins the truck.
This is my first time selling anything on eBay, and I want to make sure that nobody winds up unhappy, so I put a whole bunch of information in the description, along with a bunch of pictures. Since the auction started, I've answered a half-dozen questions from interested bidders, and posted the questions and answers on the site as well.The pictures turned out fairly well, I waited until a sunny day, and it made a big difference. I probably should have washed the truck first, but it turned out okay. The only picture that didn't turn out too great was the close-up of the odometer, the dash was pretty dusty. I think this is a pretty good way to sell a vehicle. It's a lot more exciting than taking it down to the dealer to trade in when you buy a new car.
