They had server issues this afternoon and extended at least one of the auctions that should have ended today (the UrQ, and I assume others, but that is the only one I was watching) by 24 hours.

Thanks, good to hear they extend them. BAT crashed a week or so ago as well. I guess there was an NSX Zanardi addition that was the bees knees and had lots of traffic / comments that overwhelmed the server.

This is the niche of the market where the COVID situation is propping values, and why I really wanted it listed last week / this week. The gentleman who is purchasing it if from the NY area, somewhat older and sick of being stuck inside worrying about life. He has always wanted a fun car and said F it, the time is now if I'm going to be locked down at home I might as well be able to take a roadster out for drives.
I think the run of the mill cars and the exceedingly expensive / people need to get out of them because they can't afford them cars are suffering, but the sub $30k collectables are doing very well.

I'm once again thinking of listing the boxster. It's too recent a car to get good money on BaT, though - or so I think.
What are the main reasons? I don't drive it enough; have had it for four years and am increasingly photo-phobic (a doctor applied that term to me - so I'm not just saying it). Strong sunlight has never been good to me; more and more I find it triggering migraines. Sunday, I did about one hour top down but I had dark sunglasses, baseball cap and a hoodie over the cap just so I could bear it. |

That’s too bad about migraines. Those fucking suck.
Your car is really, really nice; it might do well on BaT, who knows, but I think Josh just gave a master class in how to sell on that platform—will let him comment on whether he thinks it’s worth it. What are the specs of your car again? I don’t think I can justify swapping unless it’s for a GTS 4.0 that I would keep forever, but your car was really nice to drive. |
