Yeah, I'm definitely thinking BaT is the 1st place for me to go when I'm ready to rid myself of the 1M. (Not anytime soon)

yeah, umm, you should mention it here before going that route.

Most times, when looking at the auctions there, I think that I'm happy I'm not the seller having to deal with or be exposed to all the criticism in the comments. Yeah, you are reaching the niche buyers, but at what cost?

If you know the full history of the car it seems like a good route to me. Car dependent though.

Speaking of cost, what kinds of sellers fees are collected by BaT?

They were on TV. I can't even remember now what commercial it was that made them famous.

It looks like there are two being auctioned now.

They are gorgeous in person. The proportions are perfect.

Okay, that's reaching a bit. I wonder how high was the reserve?
