kimbo305 posted:Their cut is 5%, so the buyer pays 105% of the winning bid. I didn't realize that the buyer pays the percentage; I assumed that the percentage was taken out of the final sale price. BAT has a commission cap of like $5k or something like that which makes it cool when stuff like Porsche 959's are sold

everdave posted:I have only bid on low price stuff but they only put a $250 hold on my card each time When I put in my bid in November they hit me with a $1550 charge the second I clicked bid which tripped the fraud prevention. In the future I'd bid a few hours early at a low amount to get the card cleared and while it's my fault for waiting for 2 minutes left to bid, I still re-bid with 5 seconds left  It ended up being a blessing in disguise though because I got a better deal a couple weeks later on Ebay.

It's live! Sooner than I expected, given all the talk of queuing. Ends at 3:10pm, which is an ok time, I guess. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-ferrari-348-ts-targa/

BloodBag posted:So that's why his thread died back in May. The thread died because I just wasn't doing anything with the car, and I don't really have time to keep up with the forum anymore. A friend of mine was dying to drive it, and had driven my black car as well, but he made the mistake of letting his girlfriend drive the car. Its value started climbing once they announced the end of production, so I ended up owning both cars for free essentially. Sad it went out the way so many of them do though. Edit for those who care: Project.next is either building a dedicated hillclimbing/track car or buying a friend's McLaren 650S. I love the Viper but it's limited at my event's altitude, and building another one doesn't scratch the car ADD itch anymore. Das Volk fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jan 19, 2017 |

I see what you mean about the listing. The wording is clinical and completely focuses on any issues that exist. I have a feeling that will push you down a bit in final bidding. Good luck!

Red can gently caress right off. Thanks for sharing this car with us. If you do sell this thing and somebody comes to pick it up, ask if they want the Charger too  .

White owns and the comments are pretty good once the autistic dudes got their word in. Good luck, this thread made me look hard at similar cars because it's such a (relative) value. edit: jags in the barn is such a world class retard that I wish I could downvote him into oblivion but it's sad he has the best feedback score in comments

Any BAT registered goons should flag posts that are BS. I have to tell you this listing does not strike me as being well written. I have pretty much read every BAT listing in the past 5 years and this one does seem to focus on flaws. But overall the response is good I would say.

Yeah, that's a super negative ad. The guy really seems hard-pressed to say anything nice about it. Thumbs down on the writing. I'd be pretty upset if I paid somebody $250 to write that ad about my car.

I never asked how much input was acceptable from the seller. I definitely didn't want to be the guy who just did everything and demanded his way. Once the draft is up, you can go back and forth indefinitely, until you're happy. I only asked for revisions for accuracy. charliemonster42 posted:The guy really seems hard-pressed to say anything nice about it. I like where he says "the driver's seat is pretty worn, but so is the passenger seat." Come on -- the passenger seat isn't that bad!

The write up on 100k Mile BMW wagons is practically dripping wet compared to this one. I think you got a poo poo writer and I would complain but overall comments are positive. Seriously go read the past ten BMW wagon auction listings then read this one.

I like white Italian cars and judging from the comments so do a lot of them. Good luck. Edit: This guy got listed right behind you.

I mean at one point BaT actually live up to its name and posted a lot of terrifying projects, weird poo poo, and hoopties before the auctions made it The Porsche Auction Site Of The Universe. Maybe you just got a dude from back in that era that was like gently caress it I'd rather write about brown manual wagons than a Ferrari. You can tell the writer just has no interest at all in the car.

i like all the forum care bears that point out how a service is coming up even though it is in the drat ad. I guess there is an army of them they post constantly about 996 IMS too so much that is has turned into a running joke.

I don't think so as long as it's responding to questions. I always pester the poo poo out of sellers and when they're active and responsive it's reassuring.

This is the closet comparison: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-ferrari-348/ Unknown mileage and belt service interval, but great interior shape. 23 bids, with 10 being on the last day, and several early ones being not realistic. If I get several bids on the last day, hopefully low to mid 30s. Who knows. It's cool to get a good reputation, but not that useful when I'm not selling several cars through there!

The comments are making me want one, drat I never imagined a Ferrari could be DIY mechanic, parts bin friendly. ...I would need one already curb rashed and paint chipped though, cause I'd drive it mean.

I've had a bunch of people with same attitude every time I've tried to sell anything (much lower value items, though), they try to denigrate your item and your dedication to it, because they want to drive down the price. Never quite to this level, though. One guy did try to run this routine on me when I was selling the Panda. Saying that it was way overpriced, pointing out completely normal wear items as "low-quality" and "obvious DIY fixes", and that I should give him a call when I was actually serious about selling it. At a much lower price, obviously. Joke's on him, because gently caress that noise. I sold it at my asking price a month later.
