So if this new site caters better to Porsche sellers of the pro persuasion they might have an angle there.

Not saying you're wrong but I am "in the business" and I didn't recall anyone laughing. In fact a lot of the opposite. I have sold quite a few cars on BAT. The ones which are photographed static as they would be for a generic autotrader or other site do okay. The ones where I pay someone to take real shots with good composition, background, filtering etc etc typically do better. Some I have sold out of my personal collection, some I have sold as a dealer.
