Is it a bad idea to sell a convertible in winter?

I have a two-litre Renault Megane Cabriolet, which I would like to sell. I know that the advice is "buy a convertible in the winter but sell when it's warmer" - but as the Cabriolet is a glass-top rather than a soft-top, does the advice still hold?

Yes because even though the CC has a solid top, the attraction of a convertible is driving with the roof down, which is not very practical when it's snowing. I think you'll do better in January than right now because the market is usually dead from now until then.
