That lets the prospective buyer bargain a bit If they are serious and have cash and the trailer behind the truck. When they show up with the truck and trailer you know that they are ready to do business, when they show up with the wife and kids in the family suv they are just out looking.
On Ebay you might reach a bigger market but be prepared to deal with shipping same as on here.
If you have a clear correct title that matches numbers on the truck that is in your name state that up front. That is becoming a real issue and is a good selling point. Clear title and current tags and registration make it a lot easier to transfer in some states. It usually isn't hard to transfer title on a currently registered out of state rig in this state but can be a pain in the butt on a rig with expired tags or no tags. Clear no opt title would mean a lot on a non runner in Cali. Kept the tags up and never went non opt might mean extra value to some.

Excellent info, and food for thought. I wondered about eBay (because of shipping costs, eBay fees, etc). Didn't think about Facebook. I will give these a try - when the truck is ready!
Thank you very much for the well thought out answer!
