Barn Find Flip School
Lesson summary: Choose the right venue based on price, condition, audience, and story.
Goal
Help members choose the platform that best matches the car.
Local Sale
Best for inexpensive projects and quick exits. Usually lower price ceiling but faster turnaround.
Marketplace and Craigslist
Good for sub-$10k projects and local buyers, but expect tire-kickers and low offers.
eBay
Useful for broader exposure, project cars, parts cars, oddballs, and no-reserve listings.
Barn Finds
A strong fit for enthusiast projects, survivors, unusual cars, and story-driven finds.
Premium Auction Sites
Better for clean, desirable, well-documented cars that photograph well and have active buyer demand.
Member Action
Match the car to the buyer pool. A rough but interesting car may do better with an enthusiast audience than a general local listing.
