Hello my name is Phillip and I am going to to write a quick way to find out if you are paying too much or finding a great deal when bidding on a car.

The first and easiest way that I find to do this is to search your item using the most specific terms that you can search (1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX).  Whether or not anything comes up under the search is fine but now you will look on the left hand side of the screen to find completed items (under search options) then click show items.  This will bring up all of the auctions that have completed and you can see approximately how much people have been paying for that item (you can also narrow your search by clicking on the category you are looking for on the left hand of the screen).  If your search has no items in it after seeing the completed listing try to use a more broad search (1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse)

  The next way that you can find out how much it is worth is kelley blue book price and nada retail.  eBay will usually sell a little below these prices and you should try the first method to find out how much difference is in the two prices. 

The final way to find the average price that a car sells for in a market is to go to autotrader.com then click "compare cars" at the bottom middle of the page you are looking at.  Type in the information about the car and click "view all sections" on the left hand side.  You will then look for the base true market value which is pretty accurate (I have found this to be more accurate than kbb or nada!).

 

I hope you find this useful and good luck finding those amazing deals you can find on eBay!
