i see the car sold, do you care to review the whole process and the outcome? Did you get the money you thought the car was worth?

Cars&Bids was very helpful - they actually put together the listing. A fair bit of back and forth was necessary though. I did a lot of "marketing" here, NA motoring, and Facebook to get people looking at the auction. I answered well over 200 people on FB marketplace.
what would I do differently ... I don't know that I'd do anything differently. It was overall a good experience, I got good money for the car, and the car has a new home
I will warn anyone that it's not a "throw a listing up" kind of site, it took a couple weeks to get the car listed.
I also had to explain to a lot of people how internet auctions work and C&B in particular. It's a new site, so people are a little dubious.
Overall a better experience than just throwing something on ebay or FB marketplace.
