Default ebay rant

Here's a piece of information that should be posted somewhere for ebay users who list vehicles for sale.

1) Rare only applies if it is rare, and doesn't get you more money if nobody cares how rare your 4 door LTD wagon is, so don't call it rare.
Simply being old does not make it rare.
Simply being rare does not make it valuable.
If the reason you think it is rare is because you don't see many anymore, perhaps its because the model in question was so useless and ugly that they were all squished.

2) "Muscle car" is not a generic term that can be applied to any 60's and 70's 2 door car. ie: a 1966 chevelle with a 283 and a 2spd auto is not a "muscle car", neither is a 318 Charger.

3) "Numbers match" does not add more value to a car with a non-performance driveline, or a car that has no driveline based importance or significance.
A 1965 valiant with a "numbers match" 6 cyl does not make it worth more than any 1965 valiant with or without an engine.

4)"Survivor" does not mean it simply survived.

5)Don't picture your car with some flashy wheels and tires if they don't come with it. You might as well just say you are trying to decieve people.

6)If your car is a 1966, put it in the 1966 listings.
Do not add.. "not a 1964,65,67,68,69" to the listing and making the listing pop up in wrong year listings.
This makes most people want to slap you upside the head.
If I'm looking for a 1970 Camaro, I don't want to see your 1972 Matador.

7) If your car is not a Hemi car, and/or does not have a Hemi in it do not put Hemi in the title.
Same applies to Yenko, Nickey,Harrell, etc.
A 1968 Suburban with a Nickey sticker on the fender does not make it a collectors item.

End of rant.
