Short answer: Ask each buyer for a firm price in writing, check that it includes free collection and any fees, confirm whether the price depends on the car matching your description, find out when and how you will be paid and compare the net amount you would receive, because a high headline figure that is later reduced at the door is worse than an honest lower one.

A written quote gives you something to hold the buyer to if the price changes on the day.
Include all the costs
Collection fees, admin fees and deductions should be counted, since they change the real figure.
Check the conditions
Some quotes are only valid if the car is complete and unmodified, so read what the price depends on.
