Noticed a huge shift in the used Corvette market 2 weeks ago. However if it's a buyer that falls in love with your Vette they won't take a chance on Losing it, they will pay the asking price. As far as dealerships, there is only one benefit I have found with them, most of the time they are willing to arrange shipping if you aren't in the area. Once I told a dealership of you want to make this sell you need to get it to me today. It was way after business hours but at 10 pm they rang my door bell and I bought it. But a dealership knows nothing about the cars they sell, most of the time they get them from auctions. No knowledgable Corvette buyer would want a Vette with a mystery history. If you sell between now and Easter you should expect to take a hit. That's the only reason people are buying in the off season because they sure won't be dropping the top or driving a Vette with ice and snow on the ground. If you want to get what it's worth to you out of it put it up until late spring or if you're in a must sell position just it go and try not to dwell on it cause losing $ has a way of ruining your day...week...month, heck ever your year. Best of luck, it a beautiful car & high mileage is irrevent when she has been cared for on schedule.
