I sold my 19 yrs old TT as a restoration project for a song about 5 yrs ago. I had been fighting with water damages over the years. When I had enough, I decided to pass on to somebody who wanted a project. I didn't want to wreck it nor gave it away for free so that someone who needed it would make good use of it. The TT's interior was in great shape other than a soft spot.
I posted it on CL before dinner with full disclosure and stipulated it must be restorated. My family & I had so much good time in it and wouldn't want to see it being scrapped. I can't stop answering emails until midnight that evening. I actually pre-screened all the potential buyers to ensure they have the know-how and knew what they were getting into. I stopped giving out my address after the first 6 buyers.
When I got off work the next day, there're 6 families waiting by the TT. I could have held an auction on the spot but instead I got everyone drew from a hat. The winner was a young family whose head worked as a carpenter for a coach builder. I even threw in all the hoses, tire wrench, stab Jack's etc.
