Got a question for the OP. Out of curiosity, why did you not put a reserve price on it ?

I think ebay takes 10%.
With gas up over 3$/gallon, the deal breaker for this may have been the 454 engine. It's too bad, because it is a nice vehicle. Had it been a pickup with similar setup it would have gone for more money... because I would have been bidding up the price.

The Suburban E-Bay auction failed,.... with a non paying bidder!
Sold it locally today to a 65 year old excavating contractor.
He plans to use it to drive to motorcycle meets, pulling a trailer, and carrying some friends along as well.
He paid me $9,500, and was absolutely ecstatic to get it.
I am kinda sad,..... but it needed to go.
I paid $8,300, with 100K miles, when I bought it 14 years ago, and only drove it for 37,000 more miles.
Originally came from Texas, where it is often referred to as a "South Texas Cadillac".
Such a great vehicle!

I expected that when you weren't responding to questions.
Once I looked into the dimensions and knew it wouldn't fit in my garage, there was no reason to go further.

This Suburban would have been the ideal candidate for selling on Bring a Trailer.
bringatrailer.com
They ONLY offer perfectly maintained collectable and desirable vehicles. Every vehicle is advertised with a video test drive, video walk around as well as 90 to 100 photos and close ups.
Private sellers and dealers LOVE this site. (Not so great for the buyer
) IMO
Any bids coming in the last two minutes are recorded and the clock rolls back to the two minute mark. If the reserve is not met the auction will put the seller in touch with the high bidder to perhaps work something out.
No worries concerning the high bidder bailing on the sale as they will lose their bidding deposit.
