I recently sold a Mooney ( but kept my aerobat) and after a long long time advertising ( and getting scams from Nigeria and whatever) I decided to let a broker handle it. Easiest deal in the world. I did not have to take my plane off the homefield, I showed it twice and test flew with one buyer and the plane was sold. The broker made a commission, I sold my plane and no headaches. The days of handshake sales with the potential for legal ( did you hear $$$$) problems are not worth it, at least for me.
