    I personally would not want to deal with BS of packaing and shipping 1 off or even small lots.

    I would make a single package price for it all and local pick up.
    Be reasonable and price at like 50% of value. Dont cherry pick the good stuff to sell individually, the good stuff is the bait for a buyer to take it all in 1 lump package and deal with the junk.

    Make it easy on yourself. time is valuable.

    Alternative is to make logical packages and make 3-5 lots.
    Reality is then you will need to package and ship so factor in if the 25% additional is worth your time/effort.

    Quoted from prowlerman99:

    Thanks guys for all the input and great ideas!! I have the same mind-set as Whysnow, Make it easy on myself... I'm 67 so time is valuable)). I'll try to come up with an estimate of everything and either sell outright or try to auction it off here on pinside. I'll probably delete this thread in a few days and post another one for the auction with all the pics and an inventory..
    And Jackster is correct.. Have had 3 Prowlers but wanted something with a little speed.. So now on my 5th Lotus and love them. In fact a fellow pinsider, CaptainNeo was nice enough to check one out near him before I bought and shipped it home.
    Again, thanks guys for all the info.. and sorry if your interested in picking the lot for specifics. Just don't have time to deal with selling, shipping, etc.

    good luck in the sale!
    and next chapter in life!
