BAT Craziness

[cannunz546]

In comparison to that thing, yours definitely should've gone for more! I thought @cannunz546's rig brought a pretty good result. Hopefully he's happy with it.

Thanks, Todd. There were two primary bidders at the end. The one who lost was local and came and looked at the truck Sunday morning, a few hours before the bidding was over. He really liked it and was responsible for the bids going up so high. He made a comment that the truck was much nicer in person and that alot of the details were lost on BaT. I suppose that's true (good and bad) for most vehicles that sell on the internet. I am satisfied with the outcome, as I was for the other 1973 I sold on BaT late last year. The buyer of this Bronco is using Verified Checkout (via third party vendor Carmel) which, so far, seems to be going smooth. Once they confirm receipt of funds from the buyer (I received notice that the buyer initiated a wire transfer) I send the title to Carmel and once they receive it they disperse the funds to me. Then, the buyer has to arrange to pick up the vehicle. My wife is really sad that this Bronco sold. She really is attached to it. I told her that I will get her a new Bronco but that didn't get much traction.

33 years and going strong.!

We were walking in the neighborhood yesterday and I was rambling about what I needed to send to the buyer independent of the truck (receipts, cover, etc.). My wife put her fingers in her ears and wouldn't listen to any of it. I still feel good about selling it although getting rid of anything that has been part of your life for twenty or more years is never without a bit of regret.

This came to mind.

Seller just made me an offer!

Some of the folks that comment frequently are bad for sales imo. Asking for info that's already posted, asking about items that are clearly visible in the pics, etc. None of those folks ever buy anything either lol.

Yep, @okie4570, the tire kickers rummage around on line more frequently now. I think they just trying to show knowledge that is lacking.

A lot of talk and zero bids, wins or intent. I agree that it distracts from the auction. I do appreciate when real experts chime in as it can help with an unseen issue but the idle chatter or opinions take away from it.

seems like BaT can break you more than it can make you these days with all the commentaters nit picking at every square inch.

It has changed, after it was sold.

Shhh! Maybe if it goes cheap enough I can get it. I would pull that drive train out, put it in my blazer and finish with the correct one.

I just saw one on a street corner business lot a little better than the one Dave posted with "$35,000" scrawled across the windshield. Didn't get a picture though.

When did BaT start offering the high bidder one last final offer on a "bid to" auction?

Like this:

"bringatrailer

"For being the high bidder, we will be allowing XXXXXXX to make a final offer to @seller in our offer portal. If this results in a sale, we will update the listing to “sold” and show the final sale price. Please note that this is only an option for the high bidder."

just a few weeks ago, great option in my opinion.

Don't remember the exact date, but it's been a few months now.

Are they doing this for ALL "bid to" auctions? Or just select ones?
