With equ's low mileage, I think it would do well there. Might even get scooped up by EAG

I just know that with auction sites like eBay there is a lot of variability in what a no-reserve auction brings. Sometimes you get a bidding war and it sells for above market value. Other times it sells for less than you could have gotten if you were patient and held out for the right buyer.

That variability would scare me on a high value item like a car.

On the positive side, BaT has a sufficiently large reach that I assume you wouldn't get screwed too badly, even in the worst case.

Do they let you set the reserve to anything you want? If so maybe a high reserve gets you the best of both worlds.

Pretty sure they do not but I have seen some pretty high reserves so they seem reasonable for the seller.

Good decision. I regret selling my 2006 M3C.

Mine is going up for sale soon. Let me know...

Tempting for sure. But our garage is maxed out and the 2 convertible scratches most of that itch.

equ 01-26-2018 01:45 PM

Pending.

rumatt 01-26-2018 03:20 PM

Congrats. Same guy as last time?

equ 01-26-2018 07:02 PM

So far just deposit, but no not that guy. G. needed until spring to sell a car for either money or space, I'm not sure which.

Car passed PPI (of course). Should finalize Friday or the weekend.

While driving it back last night, frosty enough that the salt wasn't active, I had such a retro, revvy, feel-some drive that I was about to cancel the deal... again.

Slept on it, I'm going to let it go as I'm getting close to my asking. But this is going to be a tough one.

Yeah. If you want to sell it, let it go before good weather really sets in. And then start the regrets. ;)

Well he wired today, it shows 'pending' in my account and will be final tomorrow morning. He does want me to keep it for a while though, and I'd rather have this be done to end all other thoughts. Last night I was ready to refund him the PPI charge (whatever it may be).

rumatt 02-01-2018 06:42 PM

This is your second time selling. It's time. If you hadn't let it go this round you would have in a month or two.

equ 02-03-2018 10:58 AM

SOLD.

Alan 02-03-2018 11:13 AM

Congrats ... is the car gone or is it still in your possession ?

equ 02-03-2018 11:22 AM

Delivered this morning. To some heated warehouse with a bazillion bubble cars, where I guess people can rent space and services. I think it will winter there, then he plans to actually drive it. We will see.

Would have been nice to have a shot of vodka or whiskey to ease the blow, but the time of day was wrong.

rumatt 02-03-2018 02:57 PM

Damn. I wonder what that service costs for a winter.

The time of day is never wrong for that ;):D

On a weekend, it's everywhere all the time.
