Buyers pay way too much on BaT.

Sounds like you are jealous of BaT
@GuysWithRides12 күн бұрын
Jealous? Hardly. Anyone who knows me knows that's not an emotion I succumb to. What frustrates me is how the media fawns over BaT when the site is not transparent. I now receive calls almost daily from past BaT buyers and sellers who are frustrated with that site and the lack of customer support unless you are a frequent dealer. In addition to not showing their true sell-through rate (i.e. without No Reserve auction results padding the metric), BaT rarely admits when a deal falls through. The most recent example of it is this 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet ( bringatrailer.com/listing/2010-porsche-911-turbo-cabriolet-29/ ) that "sold" on July 27 for $50,000 after bidding ended. In reality, the buyer could not secure the financing needed AFTER THE END OF THE AUCTION! I know this as the seller reached out to me the other day, not knowing what to do next.

I need to tell everyone something of critcal importance! I care about you as a person, and I very much urge you to listen to this to the finish: The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins- now I say "our", but I speak for all who God mercifully appointed from eternity past to have hearts to receive the knowledge of this truth: that our nature is sinful and that we have transgressed God and owe Him a debt to be repaid; ( being hell; just forget your human logic behind justice ); But with God's remarkable free gift of justification and forgiveness, with Christ's death+punishment and resurrection from the dead, being the "means" you could say, for this to be won: whoever will have their faith ( and, according to my interpretation that this is not just a hearing of the facts, and saying "I believe it" with your mouth, or raising your hand at the end of sermon after the pastor's got you pumped up and asks 'who wants to say the sinner's prayer', but rather a faith that cries out to God "have MERCY on me!" and depends on Him as your only hope for forgiveness and being saved Him, that through Him, they'll be pardoned from the Judgement of their Sins by God, will be pardoned, because of His finished work, in what He came into this life to do, and be reborn, ( a change of heart about your life and reality with your knowledge of the truth that sets you free ) and will be saved! Now, being a believer is not "going to church on sundays" or wearing a cross chain or putting a cross bumper sticker on your car; in fact there's so many people who *think* they're Christiand it's scary. Once God does a work in your heart, marking you as His Own ( with the presence of the Holy Spirit ), this will bring about a life, bearing fruits of repentance! And you will be reborn as a new creature! Walking by the Spirit and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self, and passions contrary to the things of God) Amen and good day my beloved, i hope all who read this have a heart to hear; eternity is ETERNITY, and this life is NOT eternity; it's like a vapor in the wind My prayers and best wishes to you all who read this, Grace and Peace from the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father be with you!!

I did notice as you put belt on you said clockwise on right bank and at left bank you said counter clockwise, but did it clockwise. May be slightly confusing.

Very good analysis of the dealer vs. private party percentage for the auction websites. I have noticed a lot more NR auctions on BaT lately and several of those vehicles have sold for below market value. One 911 today went for at least $10k below and was won by a dealer (they are upfront about it as their bidding name spells out their dealership). I'm sure you'll see that same car on their lot in the coming weeks for $10k to $15k higher.

I’ve also noticed that the same cars are being offered at multiple auctions if they don’t sell. Generally when I compare sell prices, auctions are at least as expensive as private sellers or even dealers, so I attend auctions to enjoy looking at the cars. I would register as a bidder only if I see a potential bargains but the selling prices I see that are bargains are fairly rare.

I appreciate the video, but it's too late. Much of what you describe has made me clock out of the classic car * truck hobby years ago. When it gets to the point that the cars are too expensive to play with and enjoy; when you can't just wheel and deal and swap, but instead it's become a high-finance high-stakes thing; when the little guy and youngsters are squeezed out, and it's become overrun with dealers and big corps and tech and finance...well....those are not the things most of us got into the hobby for; those are the things we always sought to avoid, and a good part of the reason why the nostalgia of classics appealed to us- because they recall the simpler, purer more honest days. I suspect a lot of other guys feel this way too, and if I am correct this means that we will see the classic car bubble pop in the near future (Which would probably be the best thing to ever happen- as cars could become fun again, and people could actually enjoy them instead of using them as museum pieces just to be ogled and shoiwn.)

Totally screwed over by Mecum that makes the rules up as you go. Unfortunately, if you sign the title over before the auction, they can pretty much do what they want, at least in Florida. The "mecum rule" is just garbage. BaT refused a car I wanted to auction off because it was deemed "too common". It was a Four Door Hardtop body style with only 2 in the world known to exist.......ended up selling the car to the famous car collector Jeff Dunham......apparently, it wasn't too common for him!

This is good stuff! I'm glad you popped up on my screen. I'm looking for an Indian in-line four and a first generation Acura NSX and it seems like every time I see one for sale, some dealer gets his grubby ass hands on it and the price is 15-20% higher when it pops up on another site. Plus, some of these sites have "Ghost Cars" that pop up. They have the same pictures but are offered for sale in Louisiana, then Washington State then New York. No thanks, I'll spare myself losing my hard earned money. I emailed one car "owner" and the guy said he was a Master Sergeant in the army, out of the country for a year, but if I sent him the money, he would have the car delivered to my house, no charge. If I don't see it first there is no way I would trust these slimy turds. So, I'm still LOOKING, not buying. These sham sites and slime dealers should be collectively tarred and feathered and put out of business. I've been wrenching and collecting, mostly motorcycles with a few E-Types sprinkled in over the last 50+ years and the hobby is being kidnapped by these bozo's. Yeah, you EARNED a new subscriber.

Of course i have to know a lot of history on that paticulae car and be willing to purchase on the spot and not over pay for item! I use to chase in the early 70 gto and split window vettes with very little sucess for news papers were the only lead and most cars were garaged not in storage sheds. When i did electric service work most cars were in the owners garages and spot buying was possible. Now i carry cards at shows that i tell interested to keep in glove box if they are interested in future selling

Dealers are paying retail at wholesale auctions. Could not wrap my head around this until I realized dealers make much of their money from charging people with bad credit 12%+ interest. That and the reduced risk to the collateral through various low cost GPS tracking technology. I hope this collector car bubble pops somewhat because I would like to change cars eventually.

Thoughts on the rampant ghost bidding on BAT/C&B? How do you not get taken
@GuysWithRides1Ай бұрын
Beyond my six sources who admitted to me verbally about bidding on their ride's No Reserve auction (i.e., "didn't want to their ride away), I can't comment on the rumors of "ghost" or "chandelier" bidding on BaT without hard evidence. However, it's no secret that BaT allows dealers to register to bid, so the site is no different from traditional in-person auctions. In the absence of a level playing field on BaT, I recommend clicking on the user name of each bidder as the bidding gets close to the end. Their history and what they've bid on (and if they're selling anything) can be a clue of their motivations for placing bids. Our Buyer's Agreement specifically forbids Dealers, Brokers, or their agents from bidding on our offerings. While it's rare, we've had a few bad apples try to bid on our offerings. If we ever determine a dealer bid on our site, we will shame them on Social Media.
@bams50Ай бұрын
What you're talking about is "shill bidding". While it does happen occasionally, it is far from "rampant". You're forgetting that if a seller Shill bids, if he ends up as the last bidder and there is no reserve or it has been lifted, he is responsible for the buyer's fee; paying usually 10% of the high bid to retain his own car. And if it comes to that, he then gets found out to be a shill, and is banned from the platform/auction. Rather than take that risk, it is a simple matter of just setting a reserve. The vast majority does that; if it gets to the end and it's below reserve but the buyer has changed his mind and decided to take less, he can always legally remove the reserve, nothing wrong with that, it's all above board. All this said, there's no reason to worry about shill bidding anyway; you're willing to pay what you're willing to pay, and if a shill bid goes above your maximum, you just stop bidding. No shill can make you pay more than your maximum; only you can do that. I focus on the real condition of the car, set a max, and that's it. It always works for me, with 50 years in the auto industry.

The reason for the reduction of private party dealers is because the small percentage of glutinous extremely rich private owners who have hords of cars that are sitting in moseleums like the dude on KZbin latelly . He has hundreds and hundreds of VERY sought-after classic cars and is looking for more and has very deep pockets. Those cars will never leave his hands untill the day he dies (according to him) and he is a relatively young man. Therefore anyone who has one of these cars is not going to give one up very easily. One thing I find enjoyable is to walk up to another persons car at a car show and check it out , see it run , find out what's going on with it. But but when you see them sitting in a well lit air conditioned building the size of a mall , door handle to door handle I say so what.

To each their own. For me as someone who has dedicated his entire life to the automobile, I am just happy to see them cared for and protected... as opposed to being left to rot in a barn or even worse, outdoors. Too many people think cars are self sufficient like a brick wall, when in reality they need ongoing protection and care to survive.
