Good stuff, Greg. I once sold a totalled car on ebay. I took complete pictures of the damage. I sold it for more than $1,000 ABOVE the blue book value. I was amazed. The buyer planned to race the vehicle, so he didn't need a legal vehicle. He came with a trailer to tow it home. Unbelievable.
It was a Honda Civic, if that counts. It was my wife's car. Civics apparently have some kind of aura. In that car, and in her current Civic, she gets constant offers from strangers on the street. I even got an offer while driving it in its totalled state. So bizarre!
