$12,800 net (ignoring shipping). eBay fees are generally 9% of the total sale (including shipping with a max of $250 per auction). So maybe roughly $1,200 in fees (don't know the total with shipping).
$12,800 - $1,200 = $11,600
How much was the car worth whole?
How much time does it take to disassemble a Europa; cleanup, photograph, and list all the parts; and box and mail them?
NADA:
Low- $7,300 Average- $14,600 High- $30,800
Hagerty:
Condition 4*- $10,100 Condition 3*- $15,300 Condition 2- $21,600 Condition 1- $32,800
What condition was this car in before dissection and what would it have taken to make it an average or Condition 3 car? At average retail/ condition 3 the seller lost money. The car had minor fiberglass damage but it ran and appeared to be more complete than most (it even had the pre-heater tubes from the intake to exhaust manifold). This completeness might have brought more $.
If the car was condition 4, the seller made $1,500 vs. selling whole. IF it took 30 hours (I've no idea) to disassemble; cleanup, photograph, and list all the parts; and box and mail them; then he made $50/hr. If it took 40 hours, $37.50/hr.... Of course, the seller still has some parts to unload...

#3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car.
#4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car.
