I don't yet use eBiz Autos, but I'm going to look at it. I've sold a few things off Craigslist outside work; I just never thought of listing cars there. I did go down the Google Base route awhile back, but manually, and with no results. I think we have to see what Google does with it ; that will make or break it. Thanks for the reply Jeff.

They have a slick craigslist tool..it's not fully automated and you have to send 1 car at a time but it's simple to use and worth the effort. I've been lucky posting to CL on friday afternoons. It usually generates phone calls that evening and I can pick up an an appointment or 3 for Saturday morning. It can be a hit and miss ad source but it's free and great for AS IS or old age aggressive pricing inventory. As for google base and oodle. I just view this as a added bonus. I don't really get anything from google base but I'm sure with time google will take this to the next level and it could become player. I also use eBizAuto for our eBay national and local listings. You can actually manage all of your inventory with their tool. http://dealers.ebizautos.com/ Rob,

Do you have some sort of automated process to list your cars there, or do you just put up specific cars manually? Jeff,
