How to list a car with us!


Oldbug.com is a unique place.
We advertise cars in a special way and the results speak for themselves.
Rather than follow the path of other advertising sites and have few photos and short descriptions
we attack each listing with the plan to show a car completely.

A few pretty photos of the "good stuff" is one thing...but 30-50 or more photos
are going to show people a whole lot more.
If I'm buying a car...I'm going to look underneath, I'm going to look for the bad stuff..and I think
anyone with half a brain probably does it the same way.
So why not give the people what they want to see??

For local cars, we try if possible to get together with the sellers to take the photos ourselves
(please call 951-795-1175 for an appointment)

For vehicles not in the immediate area, we need photos...and lots of them!
We ask sellers to follow our lead here and take a ton of photos of all the good stuff and the bad stuff.
Take a look at this listing as an example and try to replicate the images the best you can.

(SAMPLE LISTING)

OK..did you see it?
Did you notice that the car was in good lighting (not in the trees or shade)
there were photos from all angles and pictures of the flaws too?
Photos of service records or other documents help show that the car has a good history
and pics of the little flaws help people feel comfortable as they feel your honesty that way.

So...if you think you can do it...shoot the photos and email them to
oldbug@earthlink.net

NOTE: Please Edit the size of your photos to a reasonable size.
Many digital cameras today take high resolution images with file sizes that are 1-2MB each...this is great for printing
but bad for emailing and use on the website. Our optimum size is 480X640 with a file size of 100kb or less.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT THE IMAGES...then send them ONE OR TWO at a time via email and we can size them down.

You can also TEXT the images to 951 795-1175


Along with the photos include your contact info, location and the car's details.
We will check out the photos and get together with you to take it from there.

Remember...we do all the icky stuff...we deal with the emails and the phone calls
and when someone serious pops up...then they are sent to you to complete the deal.
We will assist the buyer with shipping arrangements and help if needed with whatever might pop up.
We can also help guide you towards pricing your car right as we offer a fair market appraisal as a part of the service!

The cost for the listing service is a flat rate of $750.
No further commission or percentage. That's it.
This is payable upon sale of the car...if it doesn't sell through our website...we get nothing.
Better than a money back guarantee ... we only get paid when what we do works.
And it will work!

Currently our "sales" page has well over 10,000 visitors each day.
These are people that are only coming to see VWs For Sale, as that is all we offer.
That is a lot of buyers walking through the "virtual showroom"!

We do often push our listings out through our social media avenues such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
and have a very large following through these platforms (over 58,000 followers combined).
We also cross promote many of our listings on TheSamba.com
to direct even more eyes to the detailed listing on Oldbug.com.
We have had cars sell just minutes after posting!

We do offer extra services such as ebay auction listings and featured ads on other websites.
These each have their associated costs but can add exposure of the car.

We do require online exclusivity with all our listings...this means you must let us handle the marketing...don't post other ads on other sites
for your vehicle on ebay or Craigslist or anything like that while we have it on our site.
If there is a particular website you would like to see it on...let us know and we can place the ad and link it to our site
for the best possible exposure for your vehicle.

Give it a try...with no up front costs and guaranteed results or you don't pay...what do you have to lose?
