Now this one is really tempting for me. It would be a good addition to add in any collection.

Still has 7 days and its already $70k.

Dealer sale. Will also be interesting to see how it is promoted.

Since Doug is the highest bidder, I say 100K.

Prior to the auction they were asking $104900 for the car.

Does BaT show any indication of a reserve? Obviously someone started the bid high, now it'll be a waiting game until the final 5 mins.

It's funny to read the comments about on how interesting it is to see several 997 GT3's listed on BaT within a short period of time. I didn't want to give it away but 997 GT2/GT3 subforum of RL would be a good start.

I think so many are being sold on there especially after the black car sold for $130,000 plus fees.

Still wondering what the story is on the black one 130 seems fishy.

Agreed.
This one looks like a nice car. Little too much red for me on the interior though.

Doug of Switchcars is (I’ve spoken with him about a 964 N/GT and a few 993’s), it seems as if he is inflating the sale so early. People are commenting on the black 07 that sold for $130. This is a bit odd as he knows the values quite well.

No information garnered other than which appears to the naked eye.

Well, it's still on their site. One would figure if it did sell for 130K, they would have pulled the link, put Sale Pending or Sold watermark for bragging rights like most exotic car websites do.

Rob, are you saying the BaT promotes dealer sales more than individual sales, or that the dealer somehow promotes his car on BaT more than most? Just curious how unbiased BaT is between dealer and private sale.
