Amongst those in the business there was much eye rolling when BAT launched their auctions. Like I said, no one is laughing now, but saying someone can't do it better, cheaper, or make it in this market is naive.
Also, BAT has worked really well for enthusiasts selling cars to other enthusiasts, those cars go for big money, but many a dealer has crashed and burned trying BAT, it's not always the most welcoming environment for them. So if this new site caters better to Porsche sellers of the pro persuasion they might have an angle there.
