Anyone here sell a car on BAT? Thoughts on experience?

Thinking of listing the 323 on BAT; I'm itchy to get it sold and start figuring out my next racer. Wanted to know if anyone has tried them and what was your experience.

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff (breaking my GRM-of-silence just for you!), you are targeting the wrong audience.

I don't believe you have an ad up on Facecrack in the North American Rally Buy Sell page:

Additionally, if you aren't a member, the North American Rally Discussion group is also a great resource:

I have a hard time imagining someone won't buy a ready to go rallycar for $5k in Canada, that thing would have sold months ago if it was in Alberta! Do you have an ad up on MLRC?

I sold our Lemons Rolls Royce on BaT, it was quick and easy and got a lot of exposure, and the car was sold in 2 weeks. I plan on trying it again when we sell our current Lemons Citroen SM and when I sell my 60 MGA.

Don't forget about the specialstage forums for rally stuff

BaT selects which cars they auction, so there is a bit of a selection process.

That said, I sold my '71 Innocenti Mini Cooper through BaT. On the downside, everyone on that site was/is a Mini expert--lots of questions that challenged every aspect of my car. It also meant that I had to keep a close eye on the auction.

Yes, it's really a 1971.

No, the shell hasn't been swapped.

Yes, that's the right VIN number.

No, the taillights are the correct ones.

However, all of those questions did help vet the car, and I feel as if I got a very good price for it.

David, so you have to submit your car to them and then they let you know whether they're going to list it?

I've been debating selling my 951/LSx and BaT is one of the places I was thinking about listing it...

Hmmmm, I seem to remember... not too long ago.... someone having a MASSIVE cockup with BaT.... and a Fiat 600....... ??? Or was that another place?????

If I'm not mistaken it ended with the seller being banned from BAT for life? Not that they would ever go back adfter that issue.

Any further tips? I'm seriously thinking about trying to see if they'd accept the MR2 once I've put it back to stock(ish).

BAT seems like a place where you shouldn't try to sell if you are in any way thin-skinned. Everybody who comments there seems to be a self-proclaimed expert in everything and they have a burning desire to make sure the rest of the internet knows it. They always have some interesting cars for sale there though.

In reply to T.J.:

Yeah, bumped into a ton of those when they linked to the for sale ad for my CRX.

Yes, they choose which cars are auctioned via their site:

Me too. On the plus side, I had paperwork to shoot down every shot taken at my car, this eliminating any possible lingering questions.
