The asking price is below KBB (and $3,000 less than dealers are asking for a similar vehicle, with similar mileage, etc.), and the car's in great shape. What am I doing wrong? Or do people just not buy cars from individuals anymore?

I have had my '04 Dodge Dakota pickup listed on several web pages as well as Auto Trader for 3 weeks and, like you, have had only Spam offers (like 12 of them !!). I also got a call from a site called "greatcarsandtrucks.com" offering to sell it for $100. They claim to have a money back guarantee if the vehicle does not sell in 90 days.
I have sold a lot of stuff on Ebay, but never a vehicle.
