Actually, in regards to the "I have nothing to hide" line, it's gotten me more business. I've sold collectible cars on Ebay since 1998 and don't mix words, I stated it just the way it is.....no hype, no fluff, just the well written facts. leave the fancy templates to the dealers. Leave the one and two line descriptions to those who have something to hide, or are not being 100% truthful with their descriptions............I'll continue to state it just the way it is, if it makes you sit back and think I have something to hide by using it, then I most likely would not want you as a potential bidder, as you just don't get (no offense) that there are still honest people out here that do business on a handshake and a persons word......
Sincerely,
Bill S.

I have noticed that you offer lots of advice on how to sell cars be it on eBay or whatever. I saw the ad for your car on eBay and the thing that I noticed most was your frequent use of "I have nothing to hide with this vehicle". Whether true or not, as a buyer I would shy away from someone who kept repeating that mantra. To me it screams "I'm hiding something but you won't find it". Not meant to be a criticism, just an observation from a potential buyer. Of course this is just my opinion, others may vary.
