I have zero obligation or cost to themWhy on earth would you let someone list the car for you? Thats the oldest online scam.
What scam? Zero cost to me and they buy the car from me for my asking price after they attempt to price it for more.Why on earth would you let someone list the car for you? Thats the oldest online scam.

Those place are all shadey and just want to make money off you, and they dont care how it happens. In the end it wil never be a favorable deal for you. Be smart and be patient. You dont need someone to help sell your car. If money is not an issues then be patient.

Thanks but I’m not naive and under zero obligation to this place. They have an A+ BBB accreditation and from what I can see the majority of complaints come from people dumb enough to buy a car online without inspecting it.
Frankly, I’m not expecting much of anything from them
people dumb enough to buy an old car online without inspecting it first.
If these nitwits want to buy it from me for my price like they said they can. Show me the money.
I recently sold a pile of handguns to an online dealer and the whole thing was slick as whale snot, couldn’t have been easier and I got excellent $$ out of it. It’s OK to consider alternatives, I’m at no risk with this

This is a major scam all online car listing sites warn you about. And it happens through AI almost immediately after you post the car on Facebook, Craigslist, and Auto trader. A random company contacted you on the internet unsolicited, after you listed the car. This random company wants to sell your car out of the kindness of their heart? They aren't charging you a listing fee or a storage fee? You keep the car in your possession? They take all offers to you and negotiate on your behalf? There is no contract or time frame for this sale to happen? When a deal is reached, they just send you a check before you sign over the title? If and when the car doesnt sell they just walk away and say thanks for the opportunity?
No way. I highly doubt any of those things are true. And even if it were, why would you need them in the first place?
Theres no such thing as a free lunch. Some people need to learn the hard way I guess. Good luck.

A human contacted me and they’re just listing it to potentially make a few points beyond my asking price.
Any sale comes with a certain amount of risk even face to face. The car or its paperwork doesn’t move until payment clears no matter who buys it.
If I choose not to deal with them I simply don’t answer the phone, they have zero information about me or the vehicle.
My pants are not on fire for a DH, Ford isn’t running out of Mustangs and my comments about a little kid on Xmas eve were not intended to be taken literally. Jeez.
Just checked the garage, the Olds is still there. Bad people didn’t come in the night to snatch it away from me due to my gullibility.
Here’s what Grok had to say, it backs up what I already found myself
No, Classic Car Deals (classiccardeals.com, based in Cadillac, Michigan) is not a scam. It is a real consignment dealership operated by owner John Beebe since around 2016, with a physical showroom/location, BBB accreditation, and an A+ BBB rating.
It functions primarily as an online/nationwide consignment broker: it lists classic and other vehicles owned by private sellers or dealers across the U.S. (often thousands of listings), handles marketing, inquiries, and some logistics/shipping/financing coordination for a commission or fee structure, and keeps a smaller number of cars at its Michigan facility. The company has been in business for about a decade, appears in local news for opening a showroom, maintains an active website with inventory, and has completed real transactions reflected in customer reviews and third-party listings (Cars.com, Autotrader, etc.).
