Surffing
 
I made a pass at BAT this morning. There is a lot of stuff there. Is that site full of cookes & creeps like CL? I just may have found me self a new classified.

I frequent it a lot for the amusement factor but I hear from a number of sources that its a great way to buy and sell. I bought my Wagoneer off this site and the transaction was a pleasure. I got a lot of free advice from the forum and could not be happier. Yes there is a peanut gallery who post ancient lore about when they owned an early Wobblemobile and there are also some keyboard experts who just revel in their ability to pick apart a car but there is also a lot of very good advice. The site does not appear to be habited by scammers yet so I think you can buy and sell with confidence. When my S goes on the block it go on a BAT auction as will the Jeep very soon.

I am sorry, you will need to translate that into English for me. I have not idea at all what that sentence means.

I guess I'm the "peanut gallery", cuz I've never had a good experience with BAT. I tried to sell a race car there and only received a few calls from guys with no money or trade offers. The two times I've tried to buy there the adds were outdated.

...then the never ending emails. Took almost two years of "unsubscribing" to stop them. BAT is OFF my radar.

BAT - "Bring A Trailer" CL - "Craigslist"

Thanks.

...And the answer to the OP's question is...Yes! It its full of cookies and creeps like Craigslist.

A lot of the car auctioned there are originally from Craigslist.

The current BMW CS, etc.

For a buyer, BaT is like a fancified craigslist in a lot of ways. Buy the same car, but for 50% more.

For a seller, it's a dream come true (see, e.g., the $48,000 BMW 2002).
