BaT is very pushy on the reserve price. I wanted to sell my LSx swapped 951 on BaT and they agreed to take the listing. I wanted a reserve price of $22k, they wouldn't list it unless I accepted a reserve price of $15k. When I asked them what they based their price on, they couldn't really tell me. I ended up selling it locally on Craigslist for $27k. I think they want really low reserve prices so the cars will sell, that way they can proclaim "List it with us and sell your car now!"

I think all the Nephrite Green 996 and 986 cars I've seen have had silver exteriors. I'd like to see one with Ocean Blue exterior. Not sure I'd like it any better, tho.

My cost for swapping interiors from beige to black was approximately $5500, much of which I got back selling off the removed interior parts over 3 years (still have some Savannah parts lefi).

Nephrite Green makes it sound and look like it caught a disease

I can see a dealer or customer ordering Nephrite Green interior before they had ever seen one. 'Hey, this might be cool...." What I can't imagine is a customer or dealer who had ever seen one in person ordering another. But then again, I really dislike most of the 996 interior upgrades. Black or Metropol blue are the only leathers that look decent, and leather, aluminum and carbon (except for the cracking) are the only trim upgrades that add instead of detract.

The tan, grey, and even natural leather interiors didn't age well at all and just look 'off', boxster red and nephrite green are awful, and all the wood packages imho really detract from the car. But I guess you know what they say about opinions...

Thanks for asking fellas. Just got done serving a one month ban, but not for saying something derogatory about someone's For Sale listing. I'd never do that, I'd just keep my mouth shut if I couldn't say something nice about a car someone was trying to sell.

The reason I got banned was for "Inappropriate Language" for a post I made in the Off Topic forum. Here is the post in its entirety:

"Oh man, I heard she was also a regular poster in the Good Week in the 996 Forum thread."

I've been a paying Rennlist member since 2003, never been banned before and never even so much as received a warning. Since I don't want to get banned again, I won't make any comment on how I feel about this whole episode. But, since you guys were wondering and speculating a bit, I wanted to at least set the record straight. I feel that I've made positive contributions here and will continue to do so despite what happened. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Wtf is that ****? What's the inappropriate language, did you ask? Granted, Good Week is a glorious dumpster fire of a thread, but banning someone just for mentioning it seems cruel and unusual.

You should have pulled some legal crap on those misanthropes. Like first amendment or something.

If the carpet was black it would help tremendously.
