I too have watched the pcarmarket dailies as well as virtually all Porsche listings on BringATrailer for the past several months—it is very obvious that the percentage of cars that are reserve not met on pcarmarket is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than those on BAT.... in my opinion BAT is a much better site to list on from a seller standpoint..

Arguably it's better from a buyer's perspective too - it's pointless bidding on auctions that never hit reserve. And it does seem PCAR fail to hit reserve a lot.

I purchased my 993 from PCAR. James and his team handled my concerns with ease,

Not a fan. Constant unsolicited spam. Reaching out to help sell cars. Someone sold them a mailing list - it was either PCA or Rennlist - based on the email address they got of mine. Took threats of reporting for CanSpam to finally get off the list.

Unbelievable. These auction sites are making cake right now. They will clearly do anything to get listings and keep their 5% rolling in. They have very low overhead, minimal liability and sellers with the cars don’t care because listing fees are low and buyer pays the big money.

They also sell cars as a car dealer too yet don’t represent them as being one of the same owner. A bit shady.

I agree, these sites are popping up everywhere. I just received information on a new one yesterday called "Cars and Bids".

Doug DeMuro started it. I guess he felt since people were watching his car review videos, an auction site would be an easy way to make money. His latest video is on the Rennlist home page for the 2020 GT4. Rennlist highlighted his video, and during the video, he makes disparaging remarks about Rennlist members.

Doug, if you read this, that's not a great way to promote your website to people who buy and sell a lot of expensive cars. In other words, don't bite the hand that could feed you!

^In full agreement. He has contacted me, and also a friend, multiple times trying to solicit for his auction. Pissed us off.

I called him and discussed his lack of ethics. He is a significant sponsor of PCA National and I know folks that think he is part of PCA because the first 3 letters of his company are P C A. I’ve complained to PCA National but it went nowhere (as expected).

I don’t care if he wants to run an auction. But don’t solicit me from my personal car-for-sale ad.

I would not use them nor recommend them on principle.

PCA does not share their members' personal information with anyone. Even to PCNA. It's in the bylaws.

These guys at pcar are spammers buying email lists from sites like rennlist, when I was thinking of selling my 997 I kept getting emails from them asking me to list with them, no idea how they got my email.

also many of the results on there are inaccurate and cars being posted as sold that weren’t sold.

it’s a good site for buyers as cars sell a lot cheaper than BAT but the descriptions and effort to get info from sellers is no where near the bat standard, I personally know a couple of people that had bad experiences buying there. I wouldn’t give them my business

Just got a call now from someone acting as if they were interested in a car i'm selling for a friend, not even one of my cars which i sell..and then find out its those guys trying to get me to list it with them, i don't even have my number listed on that ad , sick and tired of their garbage spam calls.


This is why my business goes to Bring A Trailer, they don't bother people and spam them.
