You are referring to me. I think some of the selling prices on BaT are totally ridiculous. And yes, I think it’s almost a consistent thing as well. It almost seems like people are willing to pay more simply because it’s on BaT. To me, there’s definitely a BaT premium, which is great for BaT, but not for buying a car.

It’s great for a seller if you can handle the constant stream of questions/concerns coming your way for a week, and many times they’re not even from someone interested in bidding (really annoying).

But as a buyer, it’s about the worst way to buy a car. Paying over market at hammer (most of the time), then add on another 5% to BaT, and then close the deal without a PPI. That’s just totally stupid in my book.

I enjoy watching the ridiculousness of the peanut gallery though.
