I agree with internet pilot. I just sold our old 1972 Boler on eBay. I posted an extremely detailed description and 20 pictures. It sold for a great price and by the end we had 99 watchers. (And it is a wreck, but I was honest and stated that it is a wreck.) But still, I also answered over a dozen more questions. People want information, information, information. And pictures are critical. I think our brain defaults to "what is wrong with this thing, is it so bad they don't want to show what it looks like?" Also, most buyers are not down the street where they can drive by and have a look, and may have to travel some distance to purchase so those pictures are their "initial inspection". Write yourself a very descriptive ad, including everything there is to know about it, good and bad (people appreciate honesty above all else) and post lots of pictures and it will be sold in no time.
