It’s at 20k. If somebody overbuys on bat, whose fault is that? I have seen so many cars under market on bat it’s silly. Am I reading your argument wrong?

It’s snark. Many cars bring insane money on BaT . Obscure cars ofen don’t. This car is on the border of odd and trendy, could go either way.

I’ve seen obscure ones go for crazy amounts, which is inline with what you said earlier and other established ones never sell because they couldn’t break reserve when they’d crush that at any one of the big auction houses.

Its a little rare to see one with a grey interior, most of these seem to be double black. I worry on the price spiking though, some of these have tried to go supra money dumb.

It’s not a place to expect a real price for a gullwing or a 46 Hudson, but cars like trendy Porsches, 70s-90s Japanese cars, some Germans like nice 80s era MBs , seem to do insanely well.

I get that, but these seem to follow the AMG wagon price trend. If one makes it out over 60k then a tonne follow, very few make it past reserve.

By trendy Porsches you mean all, right? Japanese cars really pan it right here. It ’ll be fun to watch the big guns mirror bat.

I’m not trying to be argumentative, I get a lot of what you're saying. I think dinner prices are high, but you can see some cars really fall on their face here when I don't think anybody else thinks they would.

Yes, Porsches being a thing for monied men of a certain age who seem to like to get into dick swinging contests on BaT. Not sure if they go so insane on other venues.
I think the car pictured here could go either way.

No argument assumed :)
I’ve seen bargains there too, but for anything once affordable and now eve n slightly desirable, not so many.

You gotta beat the masses, this exists in every facet of life.

Probably easier to do on fb or cl.
The best way is maybe to find something the masses don’t love, saves your pocketbook and in the end doesn’t make you look like a sheep.

There was an RS60 I would've purchased on bat, but my wife flipped when she found out I was serious.

That might be the one model that has pretty much been ignored by the r andom trendy new gearhead well-off middle aged guy out there.
