I have my suspicions about the "sale results" of BAT. I watch every auction for Porsche, Triumph, Ferrari and other select brands for sometime now. Some of the results just don't make sense. For the price of this GT3, why bother? Trade it, get the sales tax credit in most states even with no credit, no hassles. It's not like the person that bids is forced to pay. After the bid is accepted its now up to the Buyer and Seller to work out the details. I wonder how many of these transaction actually close with the seller being paid.

I follow BaT religiously. Almost all auctions close successfully. Sometimes you see a car relisted as a result of bidder non performance, but it's pretty rare.

BAT charges the auction fee to your credit card. So, if you don't close on the transaction, you lose the $5k in this example. That's decent motivation to complete the sale.

Well, at the very least, BAT might not be where I'd sell a GT3 lol.

BaT is an interesting marketplace. Some Porsches consistently do well (993s/964s) and some consistently not so (GT4s, GT3s, most modern Porsches).

If I am a seller of an aircooled, would def list on BAT (and incidentally, if I were a buyer there are better places/deals to consider). If I am a seller of a modern GT car, BaT is the last place I'll consider listing (and similarly, if a buyer a good place to source).

Similarly noticed that scruffy E30 M3s fetch relatively good coin, and the more 'minty' ones quickly top out before reserve is met.

Sure, if the seller knew what the high bid was going to be, then why bother. But isn’t that partially what the reserve is for.

Yes, this is what I've seen as well. Just kind of an odd choice to sell a 991 GT3 there is all. Older cars would seem to be BAT's marketplace.

Not everyone is trading in a car, and not everyone pays sales tax. I live in a no sales-tax state and would never trade in a car. There have to be at least some people like me!

As of last year, they more or less wouldn't take "modern" cars. We had a manual M4 in YMB, mint condition, and they said no. I also think a 991 variant would have been rejected.

That no longer seems to be the case, although for the $100 listing fee, it is barely worth their time if the car doesn't meet reserve

BAT is popular with all my e28 buddies... don't think they're in the market for a 991 variant of any kind, or any modern BMW for that matter, haha.
