morgan plus four 4 grill radiator cover car brass chrome 19.5 in tall 14 in wide.......i found an old grill from some old collectable car and listed it on ebay. within 2 days ive got more views and watchers than ive ever had before on an item..i listed it for a 7 day auction and had a bid in the first 2 hours..i didnt even think it would sale.i tried it out at 30 dollars and it is up to 133.33 already..i have no idea what it is worth but i got it free so im stoked.....id like to thank everyone here for all the advice..what i learned on this site has supported me and my family for the last 6 months. ive been so busy stripping towers and other things and running my ebay ( which members here talked me into starting ) thAT i have not been on here in a while.. i have actually been able to turn this thing into a small profitable business..so once again thank you all very very much for all the help i can never repay you for the education i have found here..

I would offer shipping to the UK (England) as I believe that Morgan is a British make, you will probably get more hits from across the pond than from here, let them pay shipping and all you have to do is fill out a simple customs form.

I'd guess you have a very hot item, and it would best been listed on a ten day auction, with at least(as Brandon suggested) UK in the mix.
I'd also guess the reason it was two hours before you had a bid is because that's how long it takes a new listing to get through the servers and actually show up on the site, and even with that, it was on page 297 by then, yep, I'd certainly guess a very hot item

thanks for the advice guys.i will see about editing the shipping for that item..ive never tried global shipping yet..

[brandon]

Just pack it really well, just like if you were the one that it was going to, I hate nothing more than receiving a package and the stuff is just tossed in a box.
I have shipped stuff around the world and never had any problems with breakage or non delivery.

there are no parts left.i actually am fibbing a little in the listing..my drunken cousin is the one who hauled the rest of that car off...i am actually not the one who retrived the grill from the field.it has been there since i was a kid. after grandpa passed we just covered all that stuff up and once in a while mamaw will ask one of us kids to get rid of some of it..it is usually a way of her to pay us kids for doing chores..well my cousin took the morgan front end with out asking..she let me know about it and i was too late by the time i tracked him down..he already scrapped everything else..the radiator cap was so beautiful i can only imagine what it was worth..it was brass in color and he junked it with the radiator..the only thing that saved the grill was that he had already hauled off the short iron and tin by the time he cleaned the radiator the grill was chrome plated..he thought it was steel so he threw it to the side. if he had known it was solid brass it would be gone..after i retrived the grill i returned it to mamaw and long story short after cleaning out some gutters,and splitting a bunch of wood she said hunny why dont you just keep that old grill and see if you can get some money out of it..the worst thing about it is that if my cousin would have asked for the scrap she would have gave him a load..maybe not the load he took but she has never turned any of us down when she knows we need a little money..he is the kind of guy giving scrappers a bad name

That pic of the car whole is sweet. An OP, I'd go give your cousin a good kick where the sun don't shine for doing your grandmother like that, an extra hard one for trashing such cool, collectable items. Then again..I could just be cranky cause I haven't been sleeping much.

We Americans an our silly woodgrains.

You kiwis an your warm/room temp/ beer! gah!

Sirscrapalot - Has one non-cold beer in his cooler in case the kiwi ever makes it this far.
