This is such a dumb auction site... on the surface it seems like a decent deal at $220k but with the next increment puts the car at $287,500 all in which is too close to a BAT price so $220k might close it out...'maybe' one more bid but the increment after that is $322k.

You cannot put a smaller number in? That is really dumb

No, it is really silly. The next "max bid" I can put in is 250k.

Bad listing and not great service. However, they will still collect $30k+ in fees for this totally online auction. These big auction houses such as Gooding and Company, RM, and Bonhams are way behind in the online auction game it seems.

It's very annoying it can't go up $10k at a time. They would get more bids. Everyone spending that kind of money will go another $10k.

Buyers premium for their online auctions needs to change. For example, this 300SL Roadster that sold back in July sold for $1.43 million and BAT only charges $5k for buyers premium. Bonhams would collect nearly $150k in buyers premium fees for this car.
