Default To Consign or not?

What do you guys think of consignments? Has anybody here have any good or bad experiences with them? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark - These cars are in GREAT demand. Post what you have, the price you are looking for and more than likely it will sell REAL fast... Do not even think about Kavorkian (Kassabian) in Pleasanton for these cars.

I really dislike consignment.

If you know a shop where you can be sure of keeping control, fine.

In short, if you think about the objectives and goals of your "selling agent" at the consignment shop and your own objectives, they're not aligned. It's not like selling eal estate for instance.

As Bob said, the 993 Turbo is a car that will sell at market and even a small premium for just the right car to the knowledgeable buyer. Giving up margin to an intermediary is not solving any problem related to selling a 993 Turbo.

ps. If you car has no sunroof, I'll take it. : )
