Denis, I’m curious how you say that a car can’t be sold out from under you. Having listed two cars there myself there is nothing that keeps a seller from selling a car to someone else post auction. They take the seller fee up front, the buyer fee on the backside, and they are done. After that point the transaction is entirely between the buyer and seller just like any other sale. Also worth noting that if you buy a car on BaT and it fails inspection, you are SOL. And if the seller wins the auction and flakes out (which has happened), BaT won’t re-list your car.

You obviously love the site, which is great. But ultimately it’s just another auction, they have simply done the best job of utilizing the internet as their sales vehicle. Personally I still have no trouble finding cool and unique cars utilizing other classified sites, and saving a lot of money in the process. Also, I still write more detailed ads then they do.
