The interesting thing is that I've sold 4 cars on BAT and 3 were post-auction.

So I got the benefit of all the build-up and chatter and the buyer got the benefit of $0 commission paid to BAT.

I have not purchased a car on BAT, though I've bid on a couple. Thing is, you run into irrational exuberance within the bidding population. I never buy a car at a distance for more than 85% of what the car is worth to me. The reason I hold back is that the great cars often sell locally; the cars that don't bear up under in-person scrutiny are auction fodder. What car can't be made to look good in photos?
